Kick-Off

Both games kick-off.

20:54

Remember, not only do the top two reach the last 16, but four of the best place third spots will also reach the knockout stage. Cote D’Ivoire, even if they win, will not get one of those spots as it is expected 4 points will be needed. And their goal difference is appalling. Thailand, if they draw might get a best-third spot. But if they get anything from the game, it will go down as the biggest shock of the tournament. And we’ve already seen Colombia beat France.

Welcome to my live text commentary of the Group B deciders. Thailand plays Germany and Cote D’Ivoire take on Norway. If Thailand beat Germany, they will qualify, but that is a big IF. This should be a decider between Germany and Norway to see who tops the group. Germany have a 6 goal advantage.
