What am I missing

View attachment 1565845

the GD is only now equal now that its 4-2 Germany which now means if Spain somehow sxore next couple mins Germany go through on GF. When it was 3-2, Japan still had superior GD.
Spain vs Japan 2-2 would have bumped Japan down to 4 points and 0 GD. Germany finished with +1.

That would have seen Spain and Germany through.

Germany should have let Costa Rica win when it was clear they wouldn't make up the GD to catch Spain. Spain are absolute campaigners

Spain and Japan were the two who deserved to get through. All is right

If that Japanese goal that went out got ruled out, Germany would have went through I think. They got robbed.
