GWT: World Cup - Group E (Spain and Japan Advance)

[Karterthadon]

Or Japan to add a few late ones

They're not even sending players past midfield lol

Germany eliminated early in a major tournament YET AGAIN.

It’s become the new theme for them. What a fall from grace. They’re the laughing stock of the entire tournament yet again. Looks like it wasn’t Low after all. It was the lack of talent.

Their close supporters will claim they’ll be on the rise eventually but I doubt it. This is gonna last for a long time. This is the new Germany. No longer one of the elite.

Italian fans: "At least you guys made the WC."

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Pretty inexcusable for Germany to not have come out with this set-up and mentality from the start. You leave it to other results and this is where you end up. They manage 2 or 3 early enough and Costa Rica would have collapsed and they could have made up that GD on Spain.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Nah, Germany would go through on goal differential.

Five German goals would seem them through as well, but that's not happening

Shit, I thought head-to-head record would be the first tiebreaker. Definitely the most relevant.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Spain don’t really need to ein

It's also not even like Germany were bad. They had Neuer botch job the two goals in the Japan game, that's what made the difference.

Give Italy some credit, at least they prevented the worldwide biohazard that would have been England winning the Euros.

 

[Tryamw]

Japan Wins!

 

[John Price]

Most of their older players sucked.

then they went younger and had no change

 

[gary69]

What to make of Japan's results? Beat two giants and lose to Costa Rica. Can they pull another surprise in the next round?

 

[Karterthadon]

Lol Japan drops Germany and Spain but loses to Costa Rica

Massive respect to Italy for that one. I was a huge Italy fan that day

To be fair to Germany, they had a bunch of first half chances. They've hit 4 posts, I think? They were a combined one foot away from going through.

Everyone was so quick to blame Low who won a World Cup but he was succeeded by someone else who carried on the German losing

 

[Power Man]

lol the roar from CR fans when they found out Germany was eliminated

 

[bluesfan94]

In this game too. Not that it would have necessarily mattered, but Neuer was terrible on both goals, but especially the second.

I think Musiala alone hit two or three posts

 

[Power Man]

Japan finishing 1st!!

Yeah I couldn’t say for sure, I didn’t watch it

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Biggest winners of the day are Brasil and Argentina maybe.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Too much woke from Germany.

 

[Power Man]

lol Hansi Flicked

Senegal needs to save us.
