Match Preview

Curaçao meet Ivory Coast at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia in a Group E finale that could decide both teams' tournament fate. The Elephants, AFCON 2023 champions under Emerse Faé, are heavy favourites with Kessié and Haller leading the way. But Curaçao — the smallest nation by population ever at a men's World Cup — have nothing to lose under Dick Advocaat and could ride emotion to a historic point. Permutations from the parallel Germany–Ecuador match will shape both bench tactics.
