00:00Previewing every single World Cup group ahead of the tournament this summer, Group E.
00:04Germany, Curacao, Ivory Coast and Ecuador make up this group.
00:08Germany are a fascinating team in this tournament.
00:11They have incredible World Cup pedigree, having won it four times,
00:14but scraped through a pretty straightforward qualifying group
00:17and have been very disappointing in recent tournaments since winning it back in 2014.
00:22Some brilliant attacking players are somewhat offset by defensive and goalkeeping uncertainty.
00:26Although, crucially, Manuel Noy is likely to come out of retirement for one last dance in the US this summer.
00:31Massive.
00:32Their group mates all qualified with flying colours.
00:34Curacao are the smallest nation to ever compete in a World Cup,
00:37but went unbeaten in qualifying, as did Ivory Coast.
00:41Ecuador finished second in South America, ahead of Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay,
00:45despite starting their campaign on minus three points.
00:48They will all be full of confidence, will travel in numbers,
00:52despite Curacao's population only being 185,000,
00:54and will fancy their chances against a faltering Germany.
00:58A player to watch from each team, Jamal Musiala of Germany,
01:01Tahith Chong of Curacao, Jan Diamande of Ivory Coast,
01:04and yes, still, Enna Valencia of Ecuador.
01:07Still.
