As long as Flick has finally realized he must play a real proper striker and put an end to this false 9 nonsense the possibilities are limitless. Also Müller won't cut it anymore and should be assigned the role of team cheeleader, much like Podolski in 2014.

Fullkrug should start against Costa Rica

[ahmadagha]

Lemme be the one to say Japan and Costa Rica will go through 😆😆 imagine that happening 🤣

[nissarpa]

Germany may win convincingly but if they have to be confident to go through they should win by 9-0 or more. That is impossible with a false nine in the first eleven. They need a proper striker in the next game through out the game not as a sub.

Funny how Japan are being written off getting a draw against Spain. Japan are very very capable by the way. Didn’t they turn over Germany ? And Spain only drew with Germany? Okay then.

[claudemakelele]

They will go through. They made diffcult for themselves.

[helmutb.]

Germany will go more far then England...

[urbanapache]

What has Moukoko got to do to get some time? This Germany team is crying out for him.

[peacefulliberal]

Luiz saying Costa Rica will go through was insult for everyone’s intelligence.

[amankm]

What happens if Costa rica and japan wins

[alantan]

Germany should win a few goals against Costa Rico....While Spain most likely can defeat Japan...even though they need only a draw to qualify to e KO stage!!! Guess many will pick Spain n Germany to go thru....unless Japan can cause another upset against e Spanish!!!

[rishi]

I really really hoped flick got his head right..If he benches muller and suleand plays fulkurg and klostermann and sane then there is a chance

[Deshlimbu]

Japan will beat spain, and japan and spain will go through 😮

[trungnguyentai]

If Japan beat Spain, Germany could be eliminated for the 2nd in a row if win min 6 goal, draw or loss against Costa Rica

[malvarez]

these people aren’t pros. Spain can go through even if they lose if Germany can’t beat cr by at least 8-0

[bassamhajjaj]

Lol what are you all talking about, Germany has 10% chance to go through

[FCTrinese]

I will say that Germany will not go through. They must beat Costa Rica. Yes, they lost badly to Spain. They will have 10 men back because they know a point can get them through if Japan loses. Navas hasn't been the best. BUT, he is still a shot stopper.

Both Japan and Costa Rica will play for the draw.

[TunaStrata]

What a crazy group, along with arg mex saud pol group

[christosnikitakis]

That's what you call an epic failure in

[mayankdewli]

Japan only needs a draw. They will probably frustrate Spain and it will end in a boring 0-0 draw. Germany won't go through even if they win. But for Germany"s sake I hope I'm wrong.
