The Germans are looking to bounce back with a win over South Korea, which, while mathematically alive, is most likely exiting the Women’s World Cup after its final game. Colombia leads the group with a commanding 6 points, but needs to avoid a rout by Morocco, which might be able to advance with a win. South Korea vs. GermanyGermany, surprised by a last-minute defeat against Colombia, is coming off its first loss in the group stage since 1995. South Korea can only advance by defeating Germany by five goals or more. With that win, Colombia rose to the top of the group and all but guaranteed its berth in the round of 16.

CNN —World Cup tournaments tend to be defined by an emerging star and, this year, it’s Colombia’s 18-year-old sensation Linda Caicedo who is shining brightest. It was in that game, early in the second half, that she produced one of the moments of the World Cup so far. “I wanted to shoot and thank God the ball went in,” Caicedo told FIFA after the game. “I’m still developing,” Caicedo told FIFA+ before the World Cup began. Now, sparing an unlikely swing of goal difference, Colombia will qualify for the last 16 of the World Cup.

HONG KONG, March 20 (Reuters) - Embattled developer China Evergrande Group (3333.HK) plans to publish on Wednesday an offshore debt restructuring term sheet agreed with a key offshore bondholder group, the firm's lawyer told a Hong Kong court. The step paves the way for the world's most indebted property developer to restructure offshore debt of $22.7 billion, as part of liabilities of more than $300 billion. Once China's top-selling developer, Evergrande has been at the centre of a property debt crisis in which multiple developers defaulted on offshore debt obligations over the past few years, forcing many to enter into debt restructuring talks. The two units are Evergrande Property Services Group (6666.HK) and Evergrande New Energy Vehicle Group (0708.HK). In a court hearing last November, Evergrande said it aimed to win creditors' approval for its debt restructuring proposals by the end of February.
