Welcome to coverage of a match that promises much
Hello there. This should be rather good, an effective shootout that could decide top place in a group that looked far tricker than most.
We should learn a lot more about both teams too. Germany’s eventual scoreline against Curacao was flattering and the first half performance was far from exceptional. Ivory Coast, meanwhile, were not overly impressive either before winning late against Ecuador – an exciting attack appearing to be hamstrung by nerves early on.
Now they have settled, the search for some rhythm is on and we can only hope they both look to attack from the outset.
Kick off in Toronto is 9pm BST or 4pm local time and you can follow every major kick right here.
