    Hard to see Germany and Spain not winning tonight. Japan will be cursing not beating Costa Rica, that result threw Germany a lifeline, which I'm sure they'll take.
    Two unlikely upsets knocks out both Spain and Germany...

    Has Alexander-Arnold got lazy eyes? - Looks a bit boss-eyed in this ITV piece

    A bit like his tracking back  ;)
  • Depressing that goals like the Owen one are ancient history for most of the England team. And that they only know him as that boring commentator on BT Sport!

    Costa Rica vs Germany. 

    Never been a fan of watching Spain 
  • Costa Rica haven't a chance unless they bother to attack.

    Both Spaniards and Germans 1 nil up inside 15 minutes.

    Watching this in an airport in Seattle. 

    Germany deserve to be winning this. Goal scored by a West Brom reject.

    You have to hand it to Germany. They really are spawny bar stewards. They always seem to get lucky

    As it stands, Spain will top the group and Germans will finish 2nd.

    That would pit Spain against Croatia in the round of 16 in the top half of the knockout bracket while the Germans would face Morocco in England & France's half.

    Japan's fault for not beating Costa Rica, the weakest team in the group.

    Agreed. Costa Rica are a dreadful side, but the fact Japan changed their side for that match and got sucker punched 1-0 was criminal.

    I'm not sure if it's the camera angle or my telly, but there's some weird optical illusion going on that makes the players look tiny once they get into the penalty area. Although I suspect the Costa Rican keeper isn't that tallest anyway, and the ref is tiny wherever she is on the pitch.

    The different camera angles make the pitches look completely different sizes.  The angle for the England Wales game made the pitch look massive.
  • Oh Costa Rica... thats gonna cost them later

    Oof Rudiger huge mistake. Costa Rica had to convert that. Great reaction save Neuer.
  • Awful attempt at goal

    Spain are good but this tippy tappy football can be turned on it’s head if you press in the right way. I feel better teams would upset them and force errors.

    That's gone out. No goal I'm afraid.
  • Wow, so close to  a Japanese lead. The Spanish defence looks a bit uncertain now
  • Imagine if Japan and Costa Rica still won...
  • GOAL!
