Ecuador and Japan, while incapable of winning the thing, are going to be two tricky teams to play in the next round if they get there.
If Valencia's knee is fine, I can see Ecuador making it through and causing an upset with their most likely opponent being England. They have taken on the likes of Argentina and Brazil in their qualifying campaign and came away with draws.
Valencia came off during the Netherlands game with a knee injury and had it heavily strapped on the sideline. If he's ruled out, that's going to hurt them.
