House of God scenarios:
The home picture after the second round - Spain at the top with 4 points and a positive goal difference of seven, Japan second with 3 points and an equal goal difference, Costa Rica in third place with 3 points and a negative goal difference of six and Germany in last place with only one point and a negative goal difference of one.
In the final round, Spain will play against Japan and the German national team will meet Costa Rica in a replay of the opening game of the 2006 World Cup, when the Germans won 2:4 and will be happy for a similar result on the fifth.
A German win combined with Japan losing points would advance them to the round of 16, where any possible loss of points and/or a Japanese win would put the Germans below the Japanese.
A victory of Germany over Costa Rica with a difference of two goals or more, combined with a draw by Japan, will advance the Menschaft to the next level.
An imaginary scenario would be if Spain lost to Japan, then Germany would have to win by seven goals and beat Costa Rica in order to qualify for the next round.
