Spain play such good football. Can see Enrique taking over guardiola at city when he finally ends his reign there.

Spain have looked good again today.

Such a shame Japan blew it v Costa Rica as, if the result stays like this, Germany would have been out even if Japan had only drawn. As it is, even with a second defeat, Germany still in the race for 2nd place.

Haven't felt this depressed watching us since 2004. We're just not that good anymore, back to having a team full of average players.
Could be worse. You could have good players and Southgate

Germany's defending in this game....yikes.

Rashy would have a field day running at that back line

Germany still favourites to qualify as runners up in the group in spite of losing tonight. Spain will beat Japan, fielding their B squad. Costa Rica will be on the end of a a hammering.

Sule is slow and poor…..he never saw Morata and was slow to react once he did

Fullkrug is a good player, should add something different to the attack and he’s on form. Sane too should add pace and directness.

Germany will still be in the final 16. They will beat Costa Rica and Japan will lose to Spain. Insane going through with only 3 points

They could still scrape through if they only lose by a goal as GD won't be too bad and Japan could easily lose to Spain in final game.
Can see Spain resting some of their key players for that game if they win this game.

I have no idea who this Fullkrug is but it seems weird that he's coming on ahead of a great young talent in Moukoko whose performing well for Dortmund

Eh don't overreact. It's been a 50/50 game vs Spain who are the best team in the world IMO. Germany didn't take their chances vs Japan so it was a feck up that might cost them, but could easily still reach the final.

Obviously @Hansi Fick is too big to be posting on the forum now hes in Qatar with the NT. always the same, a little bit of fame and they forget their roots :(
Agree with that, how quickly they forget their friends. He will be back if they drop out, but we should be strong, not to accept his apologies. For at least a day. That will teach him!

25 minutes for Germany to get a point and hold their destiny in their hands
