Hope dies last! On Thursday (8 p.m.) against Costa Rica, EVERYTHING is at stake for the German team!
This happens at…
… A LOSS BY COSTA RICA:
► Germany is out!
… A DRAW AGAINST COSTA RICA:
► Germany is out!
… A WIN AGAINST COSTA RICA:
► Germany is through if Spain wins against Japan. In a draw, it takes a German win by two goals to overtake Japan.
A Japan victory would make it extremely complicated. Then Germany would have to overtake Spain, which will be difficult after their 7-0 win against Costa Rica.
