Insane how many clear cut chances Germany missed, Musiala two times hit the post

Wild. Can’t ever remember a final pair of group games on a knife edge like this.

What a great contrast to the embarassment the football we were served up 24 hours earlier

If the Germans score again, the Spanish can truly relax. Essentially, the Germans are screwed. They'd be better off waiting until the last possible minute to score a winner in the hope the Spanish are terrified enough of a Costa Rican winner to get an equaliser.

All foreplay, no penetration.

But their media admire this. It's incredible.

This reminds me of the end of Germany’s group at the last Euros where positions changed constantly between them, Portugal and Hungary.

Japan would go through via their head to head record with Germany.

Was told that doesn’t count ?

No doubt. If I'm Spain I'm pouring everyone forward to get an equaliser

Damn. Let's hope it doesn't come to that then. lol

Germany would go through on goals scored 5 to 4.

Can’t ever remember all four teams being involved in the chaos like this, though…

Really looks like that

CRC may concede again. Might concede two.

But they are up for scoring another one. They look dangerous coming forward, out of nowhere

Was astonished it was given. Another dubious VAR decision.
