Great save

 

[BringouttheGimp]

.. 2 great chances. Nothing.

Olmo shot straight at Japan's keeper.

A real shame from next WC the four team group format will be gone.

The tournament will open with a group stage consisting of 16 groups of 3 teams, with the top 2 teams progressing from each group to a knockout starting with a round of 32 teams….garbage!

why. makes it more likely for minnows to advance, as one shock win basically get you through.

I think that's the case.

Doesn't it go to H2H with Germany since they'd be equal on GD?

This is wayy too much

Goals For might be more important.

4-2 Germany. Now is the time for Spain to ease off.

Only two group games..all played at separate times of course…not a fan

 

[Gavin Excell]

Come on Rising Sun

 

[RossFC]

VAR ticks off the Germany goal.

 

[kozi]

Goals For might be more important.

That's BS. Should be H2H first before total goals

Probably won't matter anyway

 

[Gavin Excell]

SBS confirmed Japan are eliminated if Spain score

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Spain don’t care at this stage..avoid Croatia and Germans out. Although Morocco will cause them some problems

 

[RossFC]

Yoshida big clearance, 2-3 minutes left.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Japan doing it the hard way losing to Costa Rica while beating Spain and Germany

 

[kozi]

Germany could have taken down Spain with them by giving it to Costa Rica. But in the end, Spain took down Germany by being beaten by Japan

Wild stuff

 

[omgfridge]

SBS confirmed Japan are eliminated if Spain score

What am I missing



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.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Unbelievable VAR..

 

[BringouttheGimp]

 

[RossFC]

JAPAN ARE THROUGH!!!

 

[Bradesmaen]

SM who's laughing now.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Well done Japan
Thoroughly deserved

 

[RossFC]

GERMANY OUT!!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

They've done it!
