World Cup 2014: Suarez banned, Mexico faces the Dutch, Costa Rica makes a run

It's the last day of group play at the World Cup in Brazil and there is a lot still left on the line. In addition to the USA and Germany, Algeria, Russia, South Korea and Belgium are all playing.

Uruguay will play Colombia this weekend, but without forward Luis Suarez after FIFA imposed a ban on the star.
