For the other three, everything is possible even if the Australians are in a strong position with two points ahead of the Danes and the Tunisians.

Wednesday (4:00 p.m.)

Group E: Spain calm, Germany under pressure

With four points and strong initial success against Costa Rica (7-0), Luis Enrique’s team can settle for a draw against Japan. And even lose in case of success of Germany against Costa Rica while keeping a better goal difference on the quadruple world champions. For Germany, it’s a bit more complicated. Last with a point, the Nationalmannschaft is obliged to win against Costa Rica while hoping to see Roja bring down Japan. Otherwise, they will have to pull out the calculators because everything will then depend on the number of goals they score against the Japanese.

Thursday (8:00 p.m.):
