Germany First to Qualify for 2nd Round

Some hints: you should not watch a football match with American commentators, they're boring. Best bet is to watch the match through the spanish channels. The BBC commentators are not bad, and if you have Sky cable, you can switch between the bbc, itv, five audio tracks.

Germany have qualified for the 2nd round though the rest of the Group A matches will determine if they will win the group, or be runners-up (most likely the former). Last night's game v Poland was the most gut-wrenching match, as the Poles kept the Germans in check throughout the whole game. The German goal in the 91st minute destroyed Polish hopes for staying in the further stages of the World Cup. They must now pray for a Costa Rica win over Ecuador today to stay in.

Germany with 6 pts (1 match left)
Ecuador with 3 pts (2 matches left)
Costa Rica with 0 pts (2 matches left)
Poland with 0 pts (1 match left)

Also, Poland must score 3 goals to eliminate their loss of 3 goals from Eucador and Germany. Then they must score 3 more goals to overcome Eucador's goal status (if they lose against Costa Rica). Clearly, a very difficult challenge to overcome.
