Germany is sidestepping the messiness present in other groups.
Germany is comfortably winning Group H after trouncing Morocco, 6-0, in its opening match. Having reached the quarterfinals every previous tournament, this year looks to be no different thanks to a favorable draw.
Colombia is capping off a strong year of international competition after a runner-up finish in last summer’s Copa América, where it lost the final to Brazil. The Colombians also opened their World Cup with a win over South Korea, 2-0. While it is unlikely they will be a match for the Germans, the Colombians are still in position to advance to the knockout rounds.
Colombia in its final game faces Morocco, which beat South Korea on Sunday, 1-0.
