Both teams are popular to win the championship, but their performance in the first round is completely different. Germany broke into a bad spot in the first game, and suffered a 1-2 reversal from Japan. Spain beat Costa Rica 7-0, and the team blossomed at multiple points, showing super offensive firepower. This game is very important, if Germany loses, they will be eliminated one round early.
Spain, Ferran, Asensio and Ormo form the front line, Busquets, Gave and Pedri join the midfield, Alaba and Rodri lead the defense, and Simon continue to guard the roulette. Germany adjusted its lineup, Muller served as the single arrow, Gundoan , Gnabry and Musiara formed the midfield, and Rudiger and Jule partnered with the central defender.
only 7 minutes into the game, Olmo's shot was swept by Neuer and hit the crossbar and popped up. Germany escaped. The two teams have offense and defense, but their ability to seize opportunities is average. In the 39th minute, Rudiger headed the ball to score, but offside was the first. The two teams scored 0-0 in the first half, and the suspense was left in the second half.
changed sides and fought again. Spain took the lead in breaking the deadlock. In the 62nd minute, Alva made a low pitch pass and Morata scored a goal with a slim shot. This goal forced Germany into a desperate situation. Germany, which was behind, could only push up, which gave Spain many opportunities to counterattack. In the 83rd minute, Germany, which had been attacking continuously, finally equalized the score. Phil Kruger, who had just played less than 4 minutes ago, scored with a volley. In the end, the two teams drew 1-1, each with 1 point.
After two rounds, Spain ranked first in the group with 4 points, Japan and Costa Rica followed closely behind with 3 points, Germany ranked last by 1 point, and in the last round, Germany played against Costa Rica, Spain played against Japan, the qualifying situation of this group was very responsible. The four teams all had hope of qualifying and had the possibility of being eliminated. The death group turned into a big melee.
Relatively speaking, Spain has the best situation. You can ensure that you qualify as long as you draw, but you cannot ensure that the team is first. If Japan draws, it depends on the result of Germany's game. If Germany wins, the two teams will compete for goal victory. Germany has the worst situation and cannot defeat Costa Rica, and it is certain to be eliminated. Even if it wins, it depends on the situation of another game and also needs to make as many goals as possible.
Of course, there is an extreme situation. If Japan and Costa Rica both win, the two world champions of Spain and Germany will be eliminated together. This is an unthinkable script. The Death Group is indeed well-deserved.
