Group C
This group is complicated. Colombia are definitely through, but fairly much everything else is up for grabs.
If Colombia beat Japan and Cote d'Ivoire beat Greece, Colombia win the group and Cote d'Ivoire finish second.
If Colombia beat Japan and Greece beat Cote d'Ivoire, Colombia win the group and Greece finish second.
If Japan beat Colombia and Cote d'Ivoire beat Greece, Colombia and Cote d'Ivoire go through, with the order determined by goal difference.
If Japan beat Colombia and Greece beat Cote d'Ivoire, Colombia top the group and either Greece or Cote d'Ivoire come second, depending on goal difference.
If both games are drawn, Colombia win the group and Cote d'Ivoire finish second.
If Colombia and Japan draw and Cote d'Ivoire beat Greece, Colombia win the group and Cote d'Ivoire finish second.
If Colombia and Japan draw and Greece beat Cote d'Ivoire, Colombia win the group and Greece finish second.
If Greece and Cote d'Ivoire draw and Colombia beat Japan, Colombia win the group and Cote d'Ivoire finish second.
If Greece and Cote d'Ivoire draw and Japan beat Colombia, Colombia win the group and Cote d'Ivoire finish second.
Both games should be worth a watch, and you might end up swapping between them a lot.
Group D
Two things can be relied upon in this group. We can rely on Costa Rica going through, and we can rely on England finally going home and putting us out of our misery.
Having those things resolved makes analysis simpler. If
Costa Rica draw or win against England, they top the group. If they
lose, they can still top the group if Uruguay or Italy draw. If that
game is won, it depends on goal difference.
The other place goes to Uruguay if they beat Italy, but Italy if they win or if it's a draw.
It's
a difficult choice what to watch here. The main tension is in the
Uruguay Italy game, but obviously it might feel weird not watching
England.
