We draw against the Germans and they in turn draw against Cameroon, two reasonably likely results. That would leave the Germans winning the group on goal difference because neither us nor Cameroon will hit 8 against the Saudis. We'd have to beat the Saudis by more than Cameroon to take second place. Could we do it? We never seem to score a lot of goals, and sometimes struggle against the weakest side in the group. Surely the Saudis will just abandon all hope for their remaining two games and play everyone behind the ball to avoid any more embarassments.
