Group E: Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan

[Billy Dean]

At the risk of getting ahead of myself, if the Germans do survive and finish second, they could find themselves playing Morocco in the last 16. Now, Morocco are a far better side than most gave them credit for being, but today - so far - has potentially been rather kind to the Germans. I suspect they aren't good enough to take advantage of the smiling gods...

Morocco last 16, then I think it could be someone like Portugal or Serbia in the QF (unless mistaken). Not easy but not the worst draw for them by any means.

Germany are well and truly laughing here aren't they? Japan have big time bottled it. Even another defeat and I still put Germany favourites over Japan to qualify, just as long as they only lose by a goal or two.

If Germany go into MD3 on 0 points and say -2/-3 GD , I'd fully expect them to end the day on 3 points and at least 0 GD, and Spain would just have to beat Japan 1-0 to put Germany through.

Of course if Costa Rica somehow held out for a draw then they'd be through over Japan and Germany, but not happening I don't think.

If Germany win, all four teams will be on 3 points going into the last day.
Can’t remember that happening before

Can't remember that exact scenario but in 1994, Mexico, Ireland, Italy and Norway all finished on 4 points.

Spain will win at ease imo

If teams are tied on points it goes down to goal difference. If that's tied between any teams it's down to goals scored. If that's tied then it's based on points games in head to head on the teams tied. And if that's tied, it's goals scored in those games. And if there's still no separator, it's drawn out of a hat. lol
