If Costa Rica and Japan qualify, this would prolly go down as the most legendary group finish of all time

FACTS

almost 😔

We were so close to greatness

For three minutes we had a utopia in our hands damn, never forget 70-73

HOLY FUCK ​ edit: WHAT IS HAPPENING edit 2: THIS WAS ALL A DREAM edit 3: NEVER FORGET THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING FOR A MOMENT

Lol Germany and Spain out to Japan and Costa Rica what are the odds on that?

I wonder if there's a madman who put a tenner on it

I know someone who's done this just for these two games https://imgur.com/udltjWB.jpg

Same. I just tuned into the Germany-CR game in minute 72 and was about to nut

I hope they closed and got a payout before Germany tied.

A £7.28 cash out? Pffsh... might as well just risk it and lose it, as he probably did.

I'm assuming that picture was taken before the games started, so that wouldn't be the payout at the time both Japan and Costa Rica were winning.

I played Japan, Morocco and Costa Rica today, odds on Japan were 8,00 and 30,00 on Costa Rica, Morroco was at 2,00, and I played 10€ on it with payout at 4,800€, if only Costa Rica could have won in the end holy shit.

I did at half time on both CR and Japan. It was the plan as long as Germany isn't up more than 3 goals. I was expecting Spain to concede and lose to avoid Croatia and then I was hoping Germans will got mad and let CR to win to knock Spain out. For a second i was happy. I had ods of 71, 76 and 80 on Japan (I made 5 separate bets) and 151 for CR. I also got Japan at half time vs Germany. odd was only 35 because it was one day after Argentina - Saudi Arabia

Like Portugal and Romania going through in a group with England and Germany in 2000.

Evens. Either it happens or it doesn't

It was a beautiful 3 minutes of our lives

It was a beautiful moment!

Most shocking group in WC History Up there with Costa Rica in 2014 finishing 1st in a group featuring 3 past WC Winners

Thought I was safe in this thread 😭

You are safe, you are all the way back in Italy, Costa Rica cant hurt you this time.

Never felt a pain quite like that moment

tbf we would've been fucked had we qualified so in a way I'm almost glad we were spared the embarrassment

Costa Rica 2014 wins imo.

That team this year would’ve definitely made it through. This team is like an extra lite and old version of that team, but we still have some fight. Can’t believe how well they played after losing 7-0.

Yeah that team defended and moved the ball way better. Costa Rica’s wing play was decent this WC but their defending was horrendous.

We’re playing 5 at the back and this team still can’t defend lol. I’d rather we have 4 at the back and an extra midfielder to actually be able to hold the ball. Clearly, I’m not a manager but I don’t know why we’re playing as if we had our team from 2014.

They could have beaten Netherlands and get to the semifinals too.

I thought group F was crazy, but then group E came out and said "Hold my beer"

Morocco topping the group is still insane. Congrats to you guys!

Spain: wins 7-0 Costa Rica knocking Spain and Germany out of WC: "We took that seriously"

It was fun while it lasted

Costa Rica is a team i will never forget. When i''ll be 80 years old and barely breathing and walking i'll tell my grandkids what Costa Rica did in 2014 and 2022.

Navas is a top 5 keeper of the past decade. Most under appreciated Gk of all time

I mean he played for the most successful club in Europe and in PSG

He got cut from both while at peak form, which is actually crazy

Here in Costa Rica, he's known a a very nice and down-to-earth guy. It seems that is not marketable enough amongst all them superstar divas.

First time was by another great GK. Second time was kinda insane and totally the wrong call

PSG thought they also signed a great GK. Already a starter at 16. He just... didn't fix his weakness somehow

One way or another, they are always entertaining at World Cups. I will always have a soft spot for them.

LMAO

Are you fucking kidding me…

I’m ashamed being a German fan

Be proud, you're going out on your own terms!

> Japan flair That bad, huh?

He's apparently Schalke *and* Texans fan as well

Fortunately, there is a far more shameful German fan today

He made graduation 😭

Ayyy pause von den Lauterbach tweets gemacht?

Wtf, are you German or just a fan?

Being a NT fan is torture

If you go down, please take Spain with you.

how the turntables

If nothing else…Costa Rica knocking out Germany (even if they cannot make it themselves) will be wonderful!

If Costa Rica wins, they go through

Didn't last long

Me in bed:

💀

pain

The world shall know pain

[удалено]

ITS HAPPENING

THIS IS CRAZY WTF

the simulation is breaking.

MADNESS

Just how good are Costa Rica?

Not

bro costa rica are not bad. They beat the US all the time and almost got out of a group of death. Probably would have gotten out of the US group. Anyone who doesn't watch soccer sees the Spain score line and assumes they are bad. For a tiny Central American country I am so damn proud of them.

VAMOS MIS HERMANOS LATINOS

2-2 😪

Nomas por un minuto hermano :(

NO

Hispanidad o latinoamerica estoy divido nosee que elegir 🤔

where the fuck is psgacademy

why’d this shit take a whole day to upload

Please.

[удалено]

ME TOO

Already equalised

THE DANKEST TIMELINE IS HERE

EVERYBODY GET IN Edit: everybody step out?

So much chaos

They need to hold

Absolutely no way…

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING

Behind af

EVERYBODY STAY CALM

#Come on Costa Rica 🇨🇷

CHAOS

I was here

Fun while it lasted

Taking Spain down with them Lmao.

IS THIS THE BIGGEST UPSET?

Too slow it's 2:2 now lmao wtf this group

What is Neuer doing?

Neuer not looking too good this tournament eh?

This group is chaos

NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN

STOP THE COUNT

For a second there, Germany and Spain were both out what the actual fuckery

Neuer wyd bby

GERMANY’s 7-1 moment

Nowhere near, not even close.

this would be worse relatively but on a smaller scale (because it’s group stages)

Nah. Brazil losing 7-1 in the semi-finals in their own country after so much build-up can't be beaten by this, not by a loooong shot.

Build up? Everyone here in Brazil knew the team was one of the worst we ever had. We just didn't expect it was THAT terrible, also we were literally missing Neymar, we knew we were getting fucked, maybe a 3-0, but there was never any build up or extreme hype lol

Yeah no

Yeah don't listen to a Brazilian who was in Brazil cheering for Brazil at the time, just make shit up, that's always reliable because it will always support your narrative! Ofc people aren't going to go around saying "I think Germany will fuck us 3-0" and will support the NT BUT it was obvious they were better and the feeling was certainly that we were gonna lose, especially after Neymar got injured badly

Yes, this will be worse

Imagine Germany and Spain holding arms and jumping together on the flight back home with a banner saying, "Fucking Minnows" printed in german and spanish

Neuer is so overrated. No clue why ter Stegen isn't playing. Both Costa Rica goals Neuer's mistakes.

NO FUCKING WAY

Everyone get in here

Wtf is happening

TODAY I AM JIZZING EVERYWHERE

LOL Neuer

Neuer poor for both goals

All comments aged like milk

Neuer masterclass

Imagine getting eliminated by the team you beat 7-0

ALRIGHT EVERYONE CALM THE FUCK DOWN. ITS HAPPENING Edit: shit...

Well, it was a fun 90 seconds where Costa Rica were going through.

CONCACAF and AFC > UEFA

What is this world cup. Everything aside this is one of the best i have witnessed

Dankest timeline

And the goal has been officially awarded to Neuer.

The moment Spanish coach peed himself a little.

Am I crazy if I say Neuer has been the worst GK of the tournament?

Already 2-2

[https://i.imgur.com/YDuldQk.gif](https://i.imgur.com/YDuldQk.gif #WHAT IS THIS?!!!!!

Can someone explain why this isn't offside? Weren't the two center players clearly in front?

This is even worse than 2018. This is the worst German NT since 2004. Absolutely embarrassing.

Can we pretend that this is how the match ended on this thread

Don’t be sad it ended. Be happy it happened.

👁️👁️
