Japan was quick as hell.  Wonder if a couple of them can catch a football?

Japan seems hopelessly outmatched ... which is a scary thought because the Samurai Blue are a pretty damned good side.

Calling myself out--this is why you play the full 90. What a tale of two halves ... again!

Tie breaker is not head to head?

No, but they had a draw anyway

Interesting situation Spain has been in here once Germany went up on Costa Rica. Who would you rather play in the round of 16? Croatia or Morocco? Morocco has been very good but regarded as the weaker side and doesn't have the experience of Croatia who made the final last time. 

It didn't seem Spain was trying to score much the last 10 minutes of that one. 

That said, they have ridiculous talent but it's almost all under 21. They're too young and not ready for this level of knockout round world cup. 

And LOL Germany

Japan vs Croatia and Spain vs Morocco in the Gibraltar derby

Spain/Morocco should be fun.  Moor bowl?

[UpperWestside 6262]

Offer Klopp whatever he wants to return by 2025 and fix the entire system. Germany did not deserve to advance, but Flick should still be shown the door. Looks like it’s time to root for Brazil since I have some friends from there that love the sport.

[Horn80 6313]

Not good enough Germany.  Bye

[UTexasFight 9787]

Vertical or horizontal.

bad day to have black, red and yellow on your national flag

[alincoln 2390]

Could be some classic quarterfinal matchups.  Spain-Portugal, England-France, Argentina-Netherlands (or USA). 

[PittsburghTiger 6318]

entsetzlich, just horrible

[Pato del Muerto 53330]

So Germany saves Spain, and Spain…does not reciprocate.

Germany should have no problem with Costa Rica. They won't fuck up

Narrator: They did, in fact, fuck up.

[WBT 20879]

What a wild 2nd half.  At halftime I assumed Spain and Germany would hold on, maybe add a 2nd goal each and both would have advanced.  Then at one point, Japan and CR were in position to advance, and at the end Japan was winning the group but would have been out if they gave up one goal.

Delicious watching Germany fail in WC

[WBT 20879]

Japan came back from down 1-0 at halftime to win 2-1 vs both Germany and Spain...and lost to Costa Rica in between.

Germany will have at least 4 by the time this is done.

Got one thing right. 

[Hermanator 7570]

Congrats to Japan. Those dudes are experienced and are a well coached machine. How they lost to Costa Rica I don't know. 

They have their hands full with Croatia.

Hey Japan fans when you see the draw and Spain and Germany are in your group and you go on to win the group, you have the right to spill all the tears of joy you can muster.

The battle for Ceuta and Mellila? If Morocco wins they get them back

[Hermanator 7570]

That second Japan goal was pure bullshit though. Clearly no part of that ball was still touching the line. If you're going to have VAR don't have complete retard officials who can still fuck it up

That's the bracket? Shit Spain came out ahead as runner up in the group was better than winning it. Avoiding Croatia in the 16 and Brazil in the quarters. Portugal and France look like a more even run. Portugal is over the hill from their peak 6 years ago and France is bipolar.

Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahah.  Bye Germany.

Well yeah the ball was out. That much was clear to everyone except the person in charge of the replay. I have no idea how they decided that one should stand.

[WBT 20879]

It doesn't have to touch the line on the ground though.  If the back point of the ball is still above the line, it's still in.

It's the reverse of American football with the ball breaking the plane for a touchdown...the soccer ball is not out until it is no longer breaking the plane.

Nah. You're looking at the bottom. Look at the top. Ball's in.

Well it was one of those were the call stands because the camera angle was not perfectly down the line from the replay I just saw. So yea it looks that it could be out from that angle but I could see them saying inconclusive.

[Pato del Muerto 53330]

Looks like the widest part of the ball is on the edge of the line to me, at least such that you can’t for sure see green in between on that angle.  Acknowledging that shot is at a slight angle to the line.

No it is not it is looks like it is still touching the line because I don't see green between the ball and the line. The rule is the complete ball must be outside the line right.

 

 

[Macklemore 2945]

The AR had his flag up on the 2nd Japanese goal which was the call on the field and the VAR ruled it inconclusive. How does the goal stand if the VAR rules it inconclusive?

I'm not worried about shit. I was showing that the ball was in play. Settle down, Beavis.
