Match #28 - Spain v. Germany

nah, not even close

 

Oh my... 3rd matches gonna be fun

 

Been a great day of football.

 

Japan really fumbled the bag with that Costa Rica loss

 

December 1 is gonna be so much fun

 

I agree, but now we get to see the wild death matches of m43 and m44 lol

 

yeah spain give too much away just because they overdo the passing, need to mix in some verticality

 

Squadwise this German team looks very ordinary. No real focal point.

Draw probably worst result for Japan, as Germany will be favorite against Costa Rica, so Japan will need to play to win against Spain.

 

If this holds Spain basically through with 4 pts and +7gd

 

after seeing this game I say my candidates are Brazil, France, Spain in that order.

 

Real death matches is Germany wins this in final minutes!

 

I can not believe Germany missed this huge opportunity.

 

Crazy ending.

1-1

 

Body transformation goretzka... wouldn't want to run into that lol

 

Costa Rica and Japan can both still go through if they win their last games.

You never know

 

You never know, but I now expect 1. Spain, 2. Germany (likely playing Croatia or Morocco)

Japan now needs to beat Spain (or play for a draw and hope Costa Rica at worst lose by one goal).

Costa Rica needs to beat Germany (or play for a draw and hope Spain beats Japan)

 

Spain calling up Roberto Martinez for those 2018 Belgium Japan scouting reports

 

Germany are in a strong position You must be Costa Rica, and hope Japan loses which it looks like they will if they draw then Costa Rica is a good opportunity

 

all to play for

 

Personally it would be fun and hilarious if Japan and Costa Rica win to go through.

But pure Footballing wise it would make me cringe to see a team that gave up 7 goals in a match going through.

 

What a great match !!!
The two coachs offered a tactical match.

 

If Germany wins 1:0 and Japan draws with Spain 1:1, than Japan go through (or 2:1 and 2:2, 3:2 and 3:3, etc.). Germany wins by more than 2 goals and Japan needs to win.

 

schadenfreude lol

 

Germany 2-1 CostaR and Spain 0-0 Japan will let Germany go through.
P.S. Incorrect. 1-0 is enough.

 

Way ahead of you, look up!
