Hopefully Spain can do the decent thing and allow this to finish 2-1 to Japan. They'll still qualify, unless Germany start scoring quicker than Brook, Crawley and Pope.
I likened it to how corners are taken and it wasn’t clear if the side of the ball was past or hanging over the line. Don’t care TBH cos if it stays like this the Germans go home and we get ABK back, hopefully with Salisu tomorrow.
Long time to go in this game still, but imagine if Japan finished top in a group with Spain and Germany. Amazing!
It won’t happen but if Costa Rica score another and somehow win…and this game stays as it is. Spain and Germany would go out and Japan and Costa Rica would go through. Please happen football gods!
And when you think that this is the group which is paired with this afternoon's group. Door could be well open for an unfancied side to make the QFs.
That's ancient history, man. And they only did that by boring the opposition to death (except for the Brazil game)
See, I was never in the Spain are boring camp, as I longed for a team that could keep and control the ball! I’d take Spain’s ancient history over ours!
