On December 1, Beijing time, the last round of World Cup group stage , and the third round of the group E, the death group, will officially arrive. Spain, Germany, Japan, and Costa Rica will all appear.
But Germany can only pray to Spain to help them. They no longer have the bargaining chips to threaten Spain. The reason is only one sentence: Spain dares to tie the game, and Germany dares not attack?
If Spain beats Japan, Germany will naturally be happy to win Costa Rica, but what if Japan is unbeaten? Germany needs a goal difference. If Japan tied with Spain, then Spain had 5 points, Japan had 4 points, and Germany won 4 points, so they had to go to the goal difference against Japanese team . In terms of goal difference, Japan is now one ahead of Germany, so it is very simple. Germany has to win at least two wins to surpass the Japanese team in goal difference. Therefore, if you play Costa Rica in Germany, you have to score at least two.
and another possibility is that Spain loses to Japan. As I said just now, Spain can deliberately lose to Japan and defeat Germany. Then the German team will win 4 points to Costa Rica, and Spain will also lose 4 points. You have to compete with Spain for goal difference. The Spanish team's goal difference is 7, and the German team's goal difference is -1, which means that you can only overtake Spain unless you win 8:0 in Costa Rica.
After reading these two ideas, we will find that whether Germany wants to surpass Japan or Spain, he has to score at least two goals, or even 8 goals, which means you have to score first. The German team must attack from the beginning, and they cannot maintain the draw, so I deliberately watched the score of another game, tied first 80 minutes, and was ready to let go at any time. Without this capital, they had to score more goals. If they could score three goals, they could not only get two, so it was difficult for the German team to let go.
Let me put it this way. If Spain deliberately sends one to Japan in the last minute of injury stoppage time, it may lose 0:1, but do you dare to delay until the last minute and keep a draw? Then even if you can score a goal in the last minute, it will be difficult for you to qualify and the goal difference will be gone! Germany dares not keep drawing because he may have to compete with other teams in goal difference, while Spain dares to draw because his goal difference advantage is too great and he has 7 Desda Rica.
And if you Germany face Costa Rica in the first 90 minutes, you are already leading the opponent two or even three, and finally the injury stoppage time is a little time. If Spain puts one in Japan at this time, even if you want to let go and die together with Spain, there is not enough time. With three goals ahead, can we still be turned over in the last few minutes? It's impossible, so Spain is the one who masters all the scripts. He can do whatever he wants to advance, because they are the strongest. If they want to qualify with Germany, they will do Japan. If they don’t want to show up with Germany, they can give Japan warmth, and it’s no problem to give one or three points.
