Shame Japan lost today
Losing this 1-0 would mean that, realistically, Germany have to score at least 2 against Costa Rica. That goes for any result in this game that sees Germany lose by 1 goal...i.e 2-1, 3-2 etc.

The problems for Germany start to mount higher the more Spain score...because for every goal they concede they'll have to score the equivalent amount 'on top of' the 2 they already need in their next game.

So ..Spain score 2 more, and Germany need 4 against Costa Rica.


...and Germany equalise which changes the picture again. Now they'll just need to win against Costa Rica.

You’re right Puffs. Where are the strikers? No wonder they’re so damned expensive.

Doh. Goal. That’ll twist Spanish knickers

Now THAT'S a proper striker's finish :scarfer:

Right after Spain took Alba off down that side too.

Spain are quality but for some reason just seem to lack that ultimate like "winning" element, like today holding on, during the Euros losing to Italy when they should've won

Agree with that. I think they’re at the start of a new cycle and perhaps the Euros in 2 years time will show them to be more ruthless.

They’re lacking tenacity in central defence and up front I think they’re that away from being very very good

Strange how Kehrer gets 100% of the blame and there's no mention of the centre back not reacting to Morata's run :chin:
