FIFA World Cup: Costa Rica - Germany (live) © AP

Thursday evening will decide the fate of the teams in Group E of the World Football Championship.

For Germany to advance to the next stage, they need a victory against Costa Rica and hope that Japan will lose to Spain in the parallel match. If Germany wins and Japan achieves a tie situation in the group, goal difference would determine the outcome.

Meanwhile, Costa Rica has nowhere to retreat. They must achieve a victory against the Germans to secure a place in the next stage. Alternatively, they can fight for a tie and hope that Japan will suffer the same humiliation against Spain that the Costa Ricans experienced in the first round.
