Group E: Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan

[Jamiednm]

Spain look a lot less intimidating after this. Very beatable.

 

[Billy Dean]

What are Spain playing at here?

 

[YoboCopter]

Sane’s got all the tools just dosent seem to be the full product

 

[Jamiednm]

If Germany can get another one without a Spanish reply, they might win the game and therefore get 3 points.

Or of course, it could end in a draw or a Spain win at this stage, still plenty of time.

Called it.

Classic Sane. All show, no blow.

Paging Maradona, paging Maradona, assistance required...

 

[Kev The Rat]

Called it.

Hysterical mate, absolutely side splitting

Keep them coming

 

[YoboCopter]

Called it.

Yer mate u done well predicting 2/3 possible outcomes and getting it right

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

If it stays like this Germany need to beat Costa Rica as biggest difference possible and hope for Japan not to beat Spain

If Germany beat CR 2-0 they're through unless Japan beat Spain.

 

[MikeH72]

It really isn’t

Well it kind of sort of is.

 

[Wat Tyler]

1-1

Nailed it again Wat, great work, lovely to watch you in this type of form.

 

[stipe]

Anyway, maybe Flick finally learned lesson, Fullkrug flanked by Sane (if he is fully ready) and Gnabry with Musiala behind, rather than Muller as first striker.

Fullkrug got presence, and looking at his numbers, very in form this season

 

[Drico]

If you were Spain and this ends even tonight, you'd want to let Japan win the last game to see Germany out of the WC.

I doubt Spain will risk the Germans hammering the Costa Ricans - eminently plausible - and somehow going out. They'll take their point - at least - and that opens the door to the Germans.

 

[MikeH72]

Hes POO.

Bad take.

Japan badly badly badly messed up this morning. What a chance they had.
