Perhaps the most important Group E match that Côte d’Ivoire and Ecuador will play is this one against each other, because it could determine who automatically qualifies the round of 32.

The assumption is that Germany will top the final standings, and both Côte d’Ivoire and Ecuador will beat lowly Curaçao, pitting them against each other for the second automatic knockout berth. It might not play out like that, but starting off with a win is crucial for both teams nonetheless.

Most third-place teams will also progress from the group stage, but there are no guarantees.

Either side here could go deep in the tournament if things go well, each boasting its best roster since golden generations emerged and faded earlier this century.

Here’s how you can keep up with all the action.

Following up a result in a World Cup environment is always important. Ecuador has the slightly easier path in the next round of Group E matches, facing Curaçao. Côte d’Ivoire has to go up against Germany.

Travel distance isn’t really a huge factor for either team at this point, with Ecuador heading to Kansas City and Côte d’Ivoire just across the border in Toronto.
