Re: World Cup 2022
For those so inclined major Schadenfreude unfolding today.
Re: World Cup 2022
Situation in Group E right now is incredible, in terms of how it started, where it went, and how it is right now. Many matches in the world cup have shown just why it's the most popular sporting event on the planet. The Japanese have gotten out of their beds extra early today, and are watching the match which started 04:00 AM JST, against Spain. And as it stands now, Japan is in the lead, 2-1. While Costa Rica equalized against Germany, 1-1. It doesn't matter how tired they will get later today, they will be levitating as a consequence of this result.
Edit: 2-1 Costa Rica now...
Edit again: Germany equalized. 2-2.

Japan beats Spain 2-1, Germany leads 4-2 over Costa Rica, but Japan wins group, and Germany is out!

Re: World Cup 2022
The final 30 minutes or so show how dangerous any German team is. They never give up. If on the other hand the Germans had let Costa Rica score and win with one goal difference they could have assured Spain's exit as well. But they kept fighting against impossible odds while Spain had given up on beating Japan in the end phase.

To steal a quote from the show Malcolm linked to earlier in this thread: "Dr. Sharon helped me remember that even though football is life, football is also death. And that football is football too. But mostly that football is life!"

Re: World Cup 2022
It would have been extremely funny if Japan and Costa Rica had gone through and Spain and Germany bombed out, but alas. Still. Belgium! Germany! Uruguay (though at least Suarez won't bite anyone this year)! Mexico!

Re: World Cup 2022
Its highly likely we will have a Brazil vs Argentina semi final!!!
On the other side, I'm hoping for a France vs Portugal semi final but why do I have the feeling that morocco vs Senegal semi final might happen instead!!

Re: World Cup 2022
If you want your favourite team to reach the (semi)final(s), be glad Germany was eliminated today.

Re: World Cup 2022
Up until some of the last minutes of those last two matches, it was looking like that would happen (when Costa Rica had the lead).Genjo Conan wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 10:11 pm It would have been extremely funny if Japan and Costa Rica had gone through and Spain and Germany bombed out, but alas.
Re: World Cup 2022
Someone on Twitter showed this close-up of just how lucky Japan was with their 2-1 goal:
And this one is nice:
The goal, if I remember correctly, was first allowed, then immediately disallowed, but then it went to VAR, and after what appeared to be 3 minutes or so of deliberation, it was finally allowed. The ball may look like it's out, but from a bird's eye point of view - the only one that matters - the ball still touched the line, so it was in play.

Re: World Cup 2022
Germany ended up winning their match by 2 goals but still eliminated due to Japan's win. So if I'm not mistaken, Japan got into the knockout round by winning that match against Spain, i.e., they got in by one millimeter.Norwegian wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 12:04 am Someone on Twitter showed this close-up of just how lucky Japan was with their 2-1 goal:

Re: World Cup 2022
This Germany is not the same Germany I grew up with. They deserve to be outed by Japan ever since they lost the head to head match.
Hope they will be back in form by Euro 2024
