Wheras Poland and Costa Rica will now only be playing for pride in the final group game, it sets up an interesting clash between Germany and Ecuador. As it stands - although level of points, Ecuador top the group with goal difference of +5, whilst Germany's is +3.
All of this means of course, that with one eye on winning the group and having a relatively easy second round game, if Germany fail to beat Ecuador then it could set up a tasty second round match-up should England top the group.
