very interesting. on the assumption that costa rica will lose all their games, that's at least 6 points for japan and it means germany will have to beat spain to get through.
You missed Chazz’s use of been instead of being in his post about Pep signing a new contract. Maybe his was down to predictive texting like mine?
Just watch a clip from SKY, and Gary Neville asked before the Spain game what he thought of the team, "It's alright, but there are no goals in this team"
if spain beat germany later, germany will have to wipe out their negative goal difference against japan. costa rica won't qualify.
