But that could change dramatically when Group E and Group F play their final games this morning.<\/p>\n Group E (6am):<\/b> Australia doesn\u2019t want to see Ecuador or Curacao, who are currently on 1 point each, record upset wins over Germany or Cote d\u2019Ivoire respectively.<\/p>\n A win for either Ecuador or Curacao would cut the Socceroos\u2019 overall chances of advancing to around 85% (and around 67% with a loss to Paraguay). Wins for both Germany and Cote d\u2019Ivoire would boost the Socceroos\u2019 chances to 94% (and 86% with a loss to Paraguay) given it would eliminate a third-placer.<\/p>\n Germany, locked in as the Group E winner before Friday\u2019s games, is the opponent for third place in Group D (Australia or Paraguay) in 94% of advancement scenarios.<\/p>\n Group F (9am):<\/b> The only relevant result would be Japan winning by as much as possible over Sweden, who are currently even with Australia on 3 points with an even goal difference, but with more goals scored (the secondary tiebreaker).<\/p>\n Sweden winning would have a very minor negative impact on the Socceroos.<\/p>\n Live updates from matchday 15 at the World Cup below!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n If you can\u2019t see the blog, tap here<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
