Two teams in two very different situations meet in New Jersey as Ecuador takes on Germany in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and you can stream the game live around the world for free.
Ecuador have built their recent success on a rock-solid defence, but a timid attack means their hopes of qualifying for Group E are on a knife edge. La Tri were one of three teams yet to score after two games, but they really should have found the net in the 0-0 draw against Curacao last time out, when rival goalkeeper Eloy Room made a record 15 saves. After losing their first match 1-0 to Ivory Coast, their World Cup will end if they fail to beat Germany. Even then, they will have to rely on the best third place, unless Curacao beats the Ivorians in the group’s other simultaneous match.
Die Mannschaft have not progressed beyond the group stage since winning the 2014 tournament, but a 7-1 thrashing of Curacao and a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Côte d’Ivoire sealed their place in the knockout rounds as group winners. Super substitute Deniz Undav was their hero with two goals against the Elephants, the Stuttgart striker scored the winning goal four minutes into added time, and can get a start if coach Julian Nagelsmann decides to rest the players before the round of 32. Germany will face one of the top third-place teams (probably Paraguay or Australia, but possibly Sweden) in Boston in the next round on Monday.
