FREITAG
9am
Saudi Arabia v Spain
Ukraine v Tunisia
The Ukraine has a shot at displacing Spain if the Saudis win and the Ukraine beats Tunisia by like at least 5 goals. So basically the Ukraine game is to insure that they make the second round. A draw for the Ukraine finishes off Tunisia and would require the Saudis to beat Spain by 5 goals to displace the Ukraine. Really the risk is a win by Tunisia puts them in the second round. Barring something ridiculous, Spain will probably head to Hanover, and the Ukraine or Tunisia to Cologne.
2pm
Togo v France
Switzerland v Korea
I wrote this whole mess up, but really, whoever loses is going home, along with Togo. If Korea draws, they have to become the world's biggest Togo supporters or they're screwed, and France had better be looking to win big. Winner goes to Cologne to meet the Ukraine (or Tunisia), second place to Hanover to play Spain.
