We're yet to see James Maddison in this World Cup, but could he still make an impact for England as the tournament progresses?

He has fully recovered from a knee injury now and is taking a full part in training.

Spain coach Luis Enrique says he will not take any risks as they face Japan in their last World Cup group game.

Although the 2010 winners only need a point to qualify for the last 16, all four nations in Group E have a chance to go through on Thursday.

Seven outfield players in Spain's 26-man squad are yet to feature in Qatar but Enrique will not give them game time just for the sake of it.

"Some may end up not playing at all - we all know how it works," he said. "It is a reality, we have spoken about it with the players. We are here to win seven matches. We want to be winners of this group."

The unthinkable could happen again.

Germany remain in real danger of being dumped out of successive World Cups at the group stage, after failing to win either of their first two games for the first time since 1938.

Japan's shock 1-0 defeat by Costa Rica on Sunday spared Hansi Flick's men their earliest ever exit, but the four-time champions now know they need to beat the Costa Ricans on Thursday, and hope Japan don't beat Spain.

A potential exit has been branded "a disaster times 10", and would leave the future of boss Flick, and the direction of the nation's game, shrouded in uncertainty.

When former Bayern Munich boss Flick was appointed national team coach in August 2021, Germany had just been knocked out of the Euros by England.

Predecessor Low stepped down as planned after 15 years and Flick was given the task of rebuilding the national game, declaring at the time "our aim is to return to the pinnacle of the game".

It all started pretty well, with seven wins from seven bringing simple qualification and, despite mixed Nations League results, the mood of the nation was fairly optimistic heading into the tournament.

But that mood has quickly soured, with a slow start to this tournament meaning they have just two wins from their past 10 matches.

Coach Luis Fernando Suarez says Costa Rica will relish the opportunity to upset the odds again at the World Cup.

The Central Americans' hopes of reaching the last 16 in Qatar looked over after a 7-0 loss to Spain.

But after beating Japan, a win over Germany send them through and emulate their heroics of 2014, when they knocked out Italy and England.

"Eight years have gone by and players have changed but you have good memories," said Colombian Suarez.

"Maybe it's down to the genes of the Costa Ricans. When they reach a World Cup they do things differently and they play well. I'm not just talking about 2014 in Brazil, I think also about Italy 1990.

"They reached the last 16 when no-one believed in them. They are never the favourites, which is good.

"We need to be emotionally strong and break our backs in this match. If Germany is knocked out it would be a major thing and we would be proud to be responsible for that."

This year's World Cup balls are different.

For a start, the Adidas 'Al Rihla' contains a sensor, which sends data 500 times a second to determine the exact kick-point.

That technology can assist with semi-automated offside calls. It was also crucial in determining that Cristiano Ronaldo did not, in fact, get a touch on Bruno Fernandes' cross when he claimed a goal for Portugal against Uruguay on Monday.

Fans may be left quite confused, however, by these pictures of the balls being charged!

Croatia have got individuals in Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic, but they also have that never say die work ethic. When you look at the team that made the final four years ago there hasn't been too much change either.

Josko Gvardiol will marshal everyone around him, and he gets on well with Dejan Lovren. Who might not be the most athletic now but his ability to work with a younger head really works for them.

They are a decent unit and you are looking Croatia thinking they will get out of the group.

Belgium are challenged, Croatia are such an experienced team with players who have pulled out results when they need them. I know Belgium have been far in this tournament but they always come up short, they sit second in the world so it would be a massive disappointment for them to not make it through the group.

Belgium are searching, clutching. Going into the tournament they had really underwhelming performances so it has not been a happy year for them.

They beat Poland 6-1 but they have been turned over by the Netherlands and Egypt in the build-up so it has been a tough ride for them. They are changing systems, players are too old according to their own players so it is a really unhappy camp.

But they still have the individuals that can change the game looking at Kevin de Bruyne who is a wonderful talent, Eden Hazard who hasn't played much for Real Madrid but still has it, and Romelu Lukaku came back in their last game.

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez says there is a "desire to find negative news" about his squad.

The world's second-ranked team laboured to a 1-0 win over Canada in their World Cup opener before losing to Morocco.

Reports claim, external that senior players then clashed but goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has said rumours of division within the squad are "invented stories".

"Some people are quite happy to jump on fake news," Martinez added before his side's last group game against Croatia.

"It is quite astonishing. It shows you that maybe there is more desire to find negative news about the team rather than enjoy the best generation of talent that we've ever had in Belgian football."

Belgium have reached at least the quarter-finals at each of the past four major tournaments and won the third-place play-off at the 2018 World Cup.

More from Luis Suarez now, who has been on a whistle-stop tour of his World Cup controversies - this time the notorious bite on Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini in 2014.

The Uruguay striker acknowledges he made a mistake and has apologised for it.

He goes on to emphasise that he has shaken hands with and played against the Juventus player since the bite in Brazil.

"You can’t just keep thinking about the past and revenge because that can be counter-productive," Suarez adds.

BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has been making his predictions throughout the World Cup. Here's how he thinks today's games will go.

Croatia v Belgium (15:00 GMT) - live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer & website/app

Kevin de Bruyne says Belgium are too old to win this World Cup, and he has got a point. De Bruyne could still change things by playing a pass that no-one else can see, so I probably shouldn't write Belgium off - but I am going to.

Sutton's prediction: 3-1

Canada v Morocco (15:00 GMT) - live on BBC Two, BBC iPlayer & website/app

Morocco have really impressed me at this tournament, especially with their fitness in their win against Belgium, and they have now gone six games without conceding a goal.

Canada got off to a good start against Croatia but just fell to pieces and are out.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Japan v Spain (19:00 GMT) - live on BBC Sounds & website/app

I suspect Japan's chance of progressing may have disappeared with their defeat by Costa Rica. Even a draw here might not be enough to send them through, and I certainly don't see them beating Spain.

Spain have played the best football in the tournament and been the most eye-catching side, and they should be too strong.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Costa Rica v Germany (19:00 GMT) - live on BBC Sounds & website/app

Things have fallen kindly for Germany and their route to the last 16. They are lucky to still be in with a shot of making it, but I think they will make the most of their opportunity and wipe the floor with Costa Rica.

Sutton's prediction: 0-4

Read Sutton's full reasoning here.

Meanwhile, Uruguay striker Luiz Suarez is giving a press conference ahead of their clash with Ghana tomorrow.

Their last World Cup clash ended in 2010 with the striker using his hands to deny Ghana a place in the quarter finals (becoming the first African team to make it that far in the process) in the dying minutes of extra time.

Asked about his notorious handball and Ghana fans nicknaming him "El Diablo" (the devil), an unrepentant Suarez points out he was sent off for it and it was the Ghana player (Asamoah Gyan) who missed the vital penalty to secure them the win.

Canada have drawn plenty of plaudits for their contribution to their first World Cup in 36 years, particularly their display in the unfortunate defeat by Belgium.

But they are still waiting for their first World Cup point - following losses to Belgium and Croatia - having lost all three games on their previous appearance in 1986.

"Football people were wondering how we were going to show up," said boss John Herdman. "I think we showed up on the front foot and that will be our approach again.

"We will stay committed to our identity and we will go into this match with an opportunity to make some more history."

Morocco manager Walid Regragui says it "would be an error" to play for a draw against Canada as they aim to get past the World Cup group stage for just the second time.

After upsetting Belgium, a point will be enough for Morocco to reach the last 16 for the first time since 1986.

In their final group game, the Atlas Lions face a Canada side already out after losing to Belgium and Croatia.

"We are coming up against a team with nothing to lose," said Regragui. "They will be giving it everything right up until the final whistle."

"If we are looking for the draw, that would be a mistake. It would be an error to go into the match thinking you only need to give 20 or 30% because the draw is fine for us."
