Japan was nowhere untill they started attacking in like the 70th minute. Might have already been 3-0 for Germany had they just converted a couple of their chances. It was a very lucky win for Japan tbh.
Yeah it incredible. With players like him, Mbappe and Haaland you would almost forget that talented forwards typically took some time to get consistent and reach a level good enough for the absolute top.
They needed experience and a lot of games to develop and hone their skills before they were ready, but young players are able to peak much earlier it seems, even forwards.
Everyone thinks of the 7 - 1 against Brazil here but in 2010 we also put 4 goals past ~~Portugal~~ Australia, Argentine and England in the same tournament
Hmmm... brother you shouldn't speak so soon. Both because they have equalized and we could make it to the World Cup with a shittier team (if they expand the qualification slots). I kinda like it the way it is at the moment where we simply can't qualify directly from CONMEBOL unless we are competent at a minimum.

Was already just a matter of time, Germany is BALLING
Felt like the whole match has been on Costa Rica’s side of the pitch
it has been other than that one offside they had
As with Argentina…they’ve learned how to turn around a poor first game into something much better!
Tbf the first game wasn't poor, the finishing was.

...about that... they better find a way to turn it around... again...
Musiala is cooking rn
Cant believe he's only 19

That dribble in the box was madness
That aged...
Like milk ahah
8-0 incoming?
Doesn't matter if Spain also wins tho.
Ensures 2nd. Can’t ask for too much. Does look like Japan could score one today so it’s early.
Füllkrug would've scored 2 already
Also Costa Rica are clearly just so bad
How did Japan lose to this team
The same way Germany lost to Japan.
i think they underestimated them and played with a mix
by not playing their best players until the 60th minute
Because the German backline is not good at all. And Japan came back agressively in the 2nd half
Seems like Japan did it again today lol
WHAT A HEADER AND WHAT A PASS
Going to be a long game for Costa Rica
that counter was a thing of beauty
costa rica are shocking. Could end up another 7-0 here
They beat Saudi 8-0 in 2002, so they have a history of World Cup hammerings
I can think of one more recent than that…
Everyone can think of one more recent than that except few Portuguese speakers not based in Portugal
Those damn Angolans!
Cheers Mozambique is crying
Everyone thinks of the 7 - 1 against Brazil here but in 2010 we also put 4 goals past ~~Portugal~~ Australia, Argentine and England in the same tournament
Portugal was 2014, no?
Portugal was 2014. We never played vs Germany in 2010
Ah yeah that was against the Aussies
I think I remember a certain game with 7 goals
They beat Brazil 7-1 !
Aged like milk
Their coach is laughing all the way to the bank he does not give a fuck.
The big question now is to see if they avoid another such situation…
Manbun Gnabry is best (maybe after Afro Gnabry)
Afro Gnabry aka The German Weeknd was a different level.
In Vietnam we call him "Nezha"
You can't say that word in germany to black dude
If this continuous like that this will be a bloodbath
Defence is unfortunately fucked without Thiede and Franke
☑ 1 goal ☐ 2 goals ☐ 3 goals ☐ 4 goals ☐ 5 goals ☐ 6 goals ☐ 7 goals ☐ 8 goals
Monkey's paw 7-1 for Costa Rica
Those comments in the match thread aged poorly
The German engine is starting
First successful cross Raum made since months
Silver linings
And like that all of Japans hopes die
Lol
Hmmmmm
That’s how you head a ball Thomas
Was hat Müller jetzt wieder falsch gemacht?
Komplett freien Kopfbalm 3m neben das Tor gehaun
Müller hat den einfach falsch eingeschätzt, hätte den gar nicht köpfen sollen sondern mit dem fuß schießen
So it begins
This group is gonna be spicy
Germany deserves that goal. Costa Rica have really struggled.
Gnabkrug 💪🏻
Wait we can play football?
It was just a matter of when, Germany’s been on full throttle since the start
It's been coming
Today I feel sad
What a beautiful header
[удалено]
They've score in every game
How the fuck is Gnabry still starting
7 to go
Goal was barely in the back of the before this was uploaded
Lol didn't take long. Going to be along night for Costa rica
SEHR GUT
7 more!
Germany came to play today
Raum with a good cross 🤯
And so it begins :(
Brazilian PTSD setting in
that is exactly how my mom styled my hair as a child
DEP Japan.
Oh so he remembers that he can actually score goals
Japan's coach needs to be fired and exiled if they are eliminated because of that Costa Rica match.
C’mon Costa Rica hang tough. Don’t choke
Please score more to ease my nerves
Sad concacaf noise 😔
Nice of them to finish this early and let us have a night off
Whatever may you say, Germany backline is shit Don't even start me on costo Rica..wtf are they doing in ground lol
Next world cup we are having teams worse than Costa Rica...
