Costa Rica had to swallow seven goals at the start.

Japan meets Costa Rica: Help for Germany?

First report from November 27, 9:43 a.m .:

Al-Rayyan – Who would have thought that the German national football team would be all about it on the second Sunday at the 2022 World Cup?

The DFB selection is challenged against Spain in the evening (8 p.m., all TV information about the game).

Before that, there will be a clash between Japan and Costa Rica.

From 11 a.m. onwards, the Germans will certainly take a very close look at what the two group opponents are delivering.

After the opening defeat against Japan, the DFB camp naturally hopes that Costa Rica will stand up to the four-time Asian champions - and ideally even take points.

If Costa Rica wins, it's even possible that a team with three points will end up in the round of 16.

Germany could even lose against Spain if they only needed a clear win against Costa Rica in the last group game.

At the same time, Spain would have to win against Japan.

Ultimately, in the event of a tie, the goal difference counts before the direct comparison.

In a draw between Japan and Costa Rica, Germany still have chances to advance, but would need at least a point against Spain.

A Japanese victory on Sunday afternoon would be the worst option for the DFB selection.

Then the German World Cup would already be sealed with a defeat tonight.

Even a draw against Spain would probably not be enough, because the Iberians won 7-0 against Costa Rica.

Germany would also need a big win on the final day to close that gap - and Spain lose to Japan.
