GermanyEcuador needs to get a win if they want to advance.Germany has already locked up their spot in the next round.

What do you do when one team has their fate locked up and the other needs to get a win in order to stay alive? Germany is a significantly better team, but most teams tend to rest their players when they have already taken care of business.Ecuador still has not scored in this World Cup, losing their first game 1-0, and their second game was a draw 0-0.

I think Ecuador will likely take their chances, but there is some good opportunity to grab some money on their team total under 0.5 goals at +149.Even if Germany rests their best players, they've only allowed four total shots on goal in two games.

I'll take a shot.ZERO BS.JUST DAKICH.

If Japan wins or gets a draw, they advance.A win and a loss from the Netherlands means they also win Group F.

A loss means they would have to hope they get in as a third-place team.For Sweden, getting a win means they advance past Japan and will make it into the next round.

A loss probably eliminates them, and a draw gives them the same fate as Sweden.I think this will be a very strategic and cautious game from both teams.
