Cameroon coach Winfried Schafer says he believes Germany will have qualified for the second round even before they meet the Indomitable Lions in the last Group E game.
Schafer, who is himself German, said he was sure that the match would be between the two qualifiers from the group anyway.
"I think all will done by then (the third game) and the game will not be a decisive one," Schafer said.
"But if that is the case, then a
Germanwill have to eliminate Germany. And I will not hesitate for one moment because I`m now a Lion."
The winner of the group will go on to play the runner-up in Group B, which includes Spain, Slovenia, South Africa and Paraguay.
However, Schafer added that he felt the Republic of Ireland were the dark horses of Group E and his team will have to be wary of them.
"Anybody who underrates Ireland in that group will be a dead man," he said.
