Groups E and F are out: all three Group E qualifiers have now been eliminated

In a World Cup Round of 32 match that has just finished, Ecuador lost to Mexico and were eliminated. As a result, all three teams that advanced from Group E have now been knocked out.

The three teams that advanced from Group E were Germany, Ivory Coast, and Ecuador. Germany and Ivory Coast had already been eliminated by Paraguay and Norway, respectively, and Ecuador have now also been knocked out by Mexico, meaning all three teams have been eliminated.

Group E is not the first "Group of Death" to emerge at this World Cup. The three teams that advanced from Group F, the Netherlands, Japan and Sweden, have already been eliminated.
