Spain’s head coach Luis Enrique didn’t know that Spain was about to drop out of the World Cup finals for a while.
Luis Enrique was so deeply engrossed in the match that he did not know about Spain’s possible shipwreck. PDO
German futs wanders in the dead of night.
The team had to wash its face from the stomach flu at the World Cup in Qatar four years ago, but the end result was an even bigger squat.
The matter was confirmed on Thursday, though Hansi Flickin the crew was able to beat Costa Rica 4–2. However, the final result was not enough, because at the same time Japan beat Spain 2–1.
Conspiracy theorists suspect that La Roja let the Blue Samurai win because it could play Germany out of the World Cup and move to a decidedly easier side of the tournament table.
Germany’s fate was a runny performance in the opening match against Japan. However, it got a bit of a straw with Costa Rica’s surprise second-round win, but couldn’t grab it.
– We wanted to score three or four goals already in the opening period, but then we made mistakes. If only we had put the ball in from the positions, head coach Flick complained.
– However, our tournament did not end today. We weren’t efficient enough, and that’s why we dropped out, he continued.

Germany’s crisis is well illustrated by the fact that the team has now qualified twice in a row after the first group stage of the World Cup. Before that, it had qualified for 16 World Cups in a row (since 1954).
Müller finishes
Star striker Thomas Müller announced that he would end his national team career right after the final whistle.
Nor the Spanish coach Luis Enrique didn’t pat themselves on the head, even though as the second in the group it basically gets an easier quarter-final opponent (Morocco).
– We lost control of the match for five minutes. They literally flew over us, and if Japan needed to score more goals, they certainly would have done so.
For a while, Spain was even on the verge of qualifying for the next round. Costa Rica took a 2–1 lead in their match and that, together with Japan’s budding victory, meant that the Ticos moved into second place in the group, leaving La Roja on the beach.
– I didn’t even know that we were about to qualify for a while. If I had realized that, I probably would have had a heart attack, Luis Enrique said at a press conference.
The coach was probably right, because earlier in a television interview he had denied the journalist’s knowledge of the impending disaster.
Group winner Japan will challenge Croatia next, but both Brazil and Argentina fall on that side of the chart. There was a strong scandal in their victory, as in the 2-1 hit it appeared that the ball went well outside the end line before it was played Ao Tanaka in front of the goal.
However, the VAR booth concluded that some part of the ball was still over the line.

This situation speaks for a long time. Kaoru Mitoma reaches the ball right from the edge in front of the goal. PDO
– Of course it’s sad because we would have liked to be group winners, Luis Enrique said.
Already earlier on Thursday, the Fifa-ranking number two, Belgium, dropped out of the next round because it could not beat Croatia. Superstar With Romelu Lukaku there were several excellent scoring opportunities, but the Inter striker just couldn’t get the ball into the net.
A 0-0 draw saved Croatia to the next round. It will face Japan in the quarterfinals. The group winner, Morocco, will face its border neighbor Spain.
