Norway (2-0-1), in second place in Group B, will play the No. 2 team from Group F next Monday. Ange Nguessan scored the only goal for Ivory Coast (0-3).

Top-ranked GERMANY (2-0-1) trounced THAILAND, 4-0, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and finished atop Group B. Thailand (1-2), ranked 29th, stayed close for a while because of a brilliant performance by goalkeeper Waraporn Boonsing.
