Match preview Ivory Coast and Ecuador go head to head at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to open their Group E campaign, completed by Germany and Curacao. The Elephants, champions of Africa, return to the World Cup with a talented generation and the ambition to finally clear a group stage that has eluded them in their four previous appearances.
Ecuador, one of South America's most solid sides in recent cycles, arrive with their hallmark of a young, physical team that is hard to beat. Their best World Cup memory is the round of 16 in 2006. This direct duel between two contenders to join Germany in qualification could shape the path of both in the tournament.
