FIFA World Cup 2022 Group E ** spoilers ** (Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan)

[Kelt]

Germany out!

 

[UTmaniac]

Well done Japan, what a second half!

 

[explicit4u]

If I was Germany i'd simply score a few OGs to knock spain out once their game is done.

 

[scarps]

Surprised Spain haven't just called it a day and subbed everyone off. Kick the germans out.

I think they knew 5 mins ago, their play dropped off loads at the end

 

[Kelt]

Well done Japan, awesome result for them.

 

[Trusty]

UNREAL!

 

[Robbo]

Bye bye Germany

 

[Shamikebab]

Can't help but think Spain have played for that, didn't someone say second place has an easier run?

 

[bingham67]

Cone on Spain!

Ill have a 99 flake to watch Germany tears!

 

[Psycho Ned]

Japan beat Spain and Germany but lost to Costa Rica! Bizarre set of results.

 

[Robbo]

I don't think Japan's goal was controversial really, if any part of the ball is touching the line, it's still in play. Wasn't clearly out IMO - although very close.

Edit - by touching I mean any part of the ball shape is over the line.

 

[lookitsjonno]

Thrilled for Japan, the Germans going out is the cherry on the top

 

[Shamikebab]

Germany and Belgium fighting over who can be more pathetic this tournament.

They'll play Morocco and Japan will play Croatia.

 

[Azza]

What a World Cup!

 

[labbby]

Das boot

 

[Kenai]

Pundits really talking up the controversy, don't see it myself, from what we've seen it's entirely plausible the ball was in play.

They're talking like it was a foot past the line and something really dodgy has gone on to give it.

 

[throwaway4372]

Har har

 

[Trusty]

Spain are a bit toothless up top. And they're playing like 5 19 year olds. In USA they'll be a force, its maybe a bit early for them this WC

Yeah, very odd. They aren't owed anything and nor are we. I'm sure we will see something conclusive at some point. The decision has been made. I assume for the right reason.
