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

Not often you see two teams with no strikers on the pitch

Neither country has produced a good #9 for yonks, Torres and Villa the last for Spain. Last elite level for Germany? Funnily enough, there isn’t very many elite strikers in the world now. Mbappe and Haaland, that’s about it (Nunez, maybe?). All the good ones are ancient, Lewa, benz, Ronaldo, Messi, Suarez, Cavani, (Kane isn’t exactly young either).

Strikers went very out of fashion for a while, everyone became an inside forward or a winger. There'll be some good young strikers coming through and as you say there are some good old ones, but there's a huge gap where they basically just didn't exist at big teams

Not surpring really? The days of a 40 yard long ball up to Pele are long gone.
Sticking with my 1-1 for this game.
 
Nice goal, needs it, Germany need to start being a bit more ambitious
