How to watch and stream Costa Rica against Germany on TV and online in the United States, United Kingdom, Africa & India.
The2022 World Cup ‘s ‘Group of Death’ has not disappointed as Costa Rica and Germany find themselves bottom of Group E ahead of their final group clash at the Al-Bayt Stadium on Thursday. Spain and Japan currently hold a slight advantage in the group.
Costa Rica bounced back from a 7-0 mauling at the hands of La Roja with a 1-0 win over Japan, against whom the Germans had faced a shock 2-1 defeat in their opener before leaving it late to snatch a point from Spain in a 1-1 draw.
It’s a must-win game for Hansi Flick’s men with Germany needing a favour from Spain, while Luis Fernando Suarez will also hope for Japan to lose in case Costa Rica pick up only a point on Thursday.

A change at the back is inevitable as Francisco Calvo is suspended following a second yellow card of the tournament against Japan, with Juan Pablo Vargas expected to step up to the task.
Should Gerson Torres and Anthony Contreras fail to deliver, Sunderland teenager Jewison Bennette would be next in line to be handed a role. 21-year-old Daniel Chacon is also likely to be called off the bench again.

Leroy Sane‘s return from a knee injury as a substitute against Spain indicates the Bayern Munich man can start against Costa Rica, which could result in Ilkay Gundogan being dropped into a deeper role in place of Leon Goretzka.
Flick will have to choose between Niclas Fullkrug and Thomas Muller to lead the line of attack, while Lukas Klostermann or Nico Schlotterbeck could be seen starting ahead of Thilo Kehrer on the right side of defence.
