Germany must best Costa Rica today and they need Spain to do them a favour and win against Japan or they will be out!

The gorgeous Stephanie Frappart is the ref for Costa Rica Germany game. Worth watching for her alone x |

I think Germany can still qualify if they win and Japan draw. Would then be on goal difference/scored. |

They did reach a Qtr final of a major tourney though. Euro 2016 when Wales knocked them out |

It was odd seeing Courtois refuting claims that Eden Hazard and De Bruyne had a heated argument after Belgium’s World Cup loss to Morocco. Supposedly, he Courtois and DeBruyne haven't spoken in over a year, after the 'keeper had an affair with the midfielder's former girlfriend. |

I had no idea at all about this so it's no surprise then that all is not well in the Belgian camp.... |

Didnt DeBruyne leave Chelsea because he was at it with another player's gf ? And they say Belgians are boring.  |

I think this was incident that has caused the problems. Maybe it was KdB who had the affair & not Courtois.
They'll have good chocolate to return to, even if they fail to score v Croatia. |

Definitely no Leffe for Lukaku.
Funny, how Jenas thinks a 'world-class' striker is not expecting a ball to drop in the six-yard box, when the striker's standing in front of goal... |

I know what you mean, and I'm glad Croatia progress, but I am sorry for him.
Thanks for seeing message updates during the game - time to get back to work, now.... |

Spain lead Japan 1-0 at HT and Germany are 1-0 ahead against CRC at the break so as things stand the Germans will go through in 2nd place
Costa Rica were showing signs of coming to life though at end of first half.... |

"I'm not sure what match to watch at 7pm!...."
I have the same dilemma. Watching Germany v Costa Rica. I wanted to see what level of dissent might be aimed at the ref, compared to the average. Science, innit? |

We are also watching the Germany match...if only CRC had put one of those late chances away...
What are your scientific conclusions so far?.... |

There was no arguing when she asked them to quit pushing and shoving for the corners. I'll give it another 45min  |

Like the commentators said,kind of. Why the fuck would you want to change the format of the WC, groups of three. Utter bollocks.
Dodgy decision on that ball going out or what? Germany have been stitched here |

"4-2 Germany. Looked offside to me, but.......
Was it cos the ref is a woman and they don't get offside? (runs for the hills) "
She checked the VAR......
The Japan second goal defo looked out on that replay. Is that because men can't see past the end of their noses?! |

None of us can see that detail. Where's Hawkeye when you need it?! |

Forth goal by the Germans was a bus ride offside, I’m not buying the whole not interfering with play malarkey he was in the penalty box, that’s enough for me, Japan’s goal looks out of play from every angle bar one so who knows what the actual fuck went on but it was bloody entertaining and about time someone else suffered at the hands of incorrect decisions |

The person who initially looked offside for Germany's 4th was the eventual goalscorer! He definitely interfered in play..... But I wonder whether the chesting across the face of the goal was considered a new phase of play? |

I'd certainly like to see the VAR shots, yes. They have that AI tool to confirm offsides, surely the same thing can be used to show what happened on the line? |

Yup. Let's see the pics that the VAR team used. The assistant ref had flagged for no goal. |

The thing is…. If it was definitive you think we would have seen it by now.. especially since it’s 90 minutes since it happened…
I reckon they may have messed this one up… |
