World Cup group stage round 2 Group E all ended, and the first round won Japanese team lost to Costa Rica . The German team tied 1:1 with Spain! In this way, the Spanish team scored 4 points, and in the last round, facing the Japanese team, they would surely get a qualifying place in the group as long as they got a draw. The victory over Japan is the first in the group and can avoid stronger opponents in the knockout round. Only when the German team defeats Costa Rica in the last round and looks forward to Spain defeating Japan can they obtain the right to qualify in the group!
, and the first round of defeating the German team was watching the Japanese team, and the second round lost again. In the last round, they had to fight to the death with another World Cup champion. If Spain defeated the opponent, they could secure the right to qualify in the group. A draw, if Germany cannot defeat Costa Rica or Japan in the last round of group stage, it will also advance. Costa Rica, which defeated Japan, also has a chance to qualify. Due to a crushing defeat to Spain in the first round, Costa Rica can only lock in the group qualifying place if it strives to win. Judging from the current situation, Spain has the best situation, and it seems that the German team has lost the initiative to qualify. The four teams in the group that reached the last round all qualified for the group of death, and they were indeed well-deserved.
In the last round, the Spanish team will play the role of judge. If they defeat the Japanese team, the German team will rekindle hopes of qualifying in the group. After all, in terms of overall strength, the German team is still better than Costa Rica. If Spain and Japan draw, Germany will only be eliminated if it defeats its opponent Spain with a score of 8:0 or above in the last game. Spain and Germany are both top teams in the European region, and both teams have won the World Cup championship. In order not to cause trouble for itself in the subsequent knockout round, the German team still hopes that the weaker Japanese team will win the qualifying place in the group. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Spain and Japan teamed up to defeat the German tank in the last round of the game and qualified together.
Although the initiative to qualify is no longer in his own hands, the German team will definitely make every effort to avoid the embarrassing situation of being eliminated from the group in two consecutive World Cups. After a surprise defeat to Germany, the Japanese team became the best team among the six Asian teams participating in the Qatar World Cup, but with their loss to Costa Rica in the second round, the Japanese team's qualifying situation also became very subtle. After the game, both domestic and Japanese media criticized the Japanese coach Moribayashi's slightly conservative style of playing.
