I think Germany is out though… Japan LOSING today? That was unexpected. Now CR have more points than Germany and a Japan - Spain tie is all needed to end G’s WC. J and S are into the next round with a tie, it effectively a ‘friendly’. |
Incorrect. A Spain and Japan tie and a German win over CR by 2 goals has Spain and Germany advance just like a Spanish win and any German win by just 1 goal. Even if Spain lost Germany could theoretically still advance together with Japan in this case if they scored a boat load vs CR.
