With Colombia and Cote d’Ivoire rounding out Group C, there’s little doubt that the loser of today’s Japan/Greece match will be eliminated from the World Cup. And a draw between the two teams will likely eliminate both of them from contention.
But a win today is no guarantee, either: if Japan wins, they’ll still have to beat Group C favorite Colombia in a tough match. If Greece wins, they’ll have to get by a tough Cote d’Ivoire squad.
Who will make it out alive: Japan, Greece…or neither? Find out when they face off today at 6 PM ET (10 PM UTC) in Natal.
