Group E: Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan

[RowlattsFox]

Really poor from Sule. 

[StanSP]

Oh Asensio. Used to bury those! 

 

Game should open up now!

Annoying that Germany could still lose tonight, but come the final game if they win they could still qualify... of course depends how Japan do against Spain.

[foxy boxing]

They are winning so it looks like it's going to be Koke for Spain.

If this were rugby union the score would be 9-6.

If it was rugby Spain wouldn't be here because they'd have cheated in qualifying 

 

 

Edit: possibly against Germany actually?

Spain are serious contenders. Not without weaknesses, but they are very good. 
 

Enrique is a top class coach. Making great changes at the right time.

It's wild to me that more people fancied Brazil and Argentina than Spain tbh

I don't think Spain will be so naive to win against Japan and let a team like Germany qualify.

No.

 

Spain would be on 6 points, the other 2 teams on 3 and Germany on 0.

 

It would be tough, and results beyond their control would be needed, but they aren't flying home yet

Nope. 

Can still qualify if they beat Costa Rica and depending how many Japan lose by against Spain (if they lose).

I meant goal difference - sorry...

Terrible finish from Musaila, need to be better than that.

Yep but less or more...

[Finnegan]

Poor finish. 

 

I'm fairly confident even Timo Werner would have finished that. 

[StanSP]
