Japan wasted their chances to make qualifying for Group E confusing and interesting, and Germany's fortunes seemed to have turned around.
Japan used part of the rotation to start against Costa Rica, Mori's tactics were slightly conservative, although the whole attack was stronger than Costa Rica, 13-4 shots, but in the 80th minute of the second half, the Japanese defense mistake, Fuller seized the few opportunities to score on target, which was Costa Rica's first goal of the tournament, which made Japan hate 0-1.
In the current real-time standings, Spain has 3 points in one round of lessons, Japan has 0 goals difference from 3 points, Costa Rica has 3 points and 0 goals difference, and Germany has only played a round with 0 points. Tomorrow morning West Germany will clash and if Spain wins, all four teams will have three points. Even if Germany loses to Spain, it will theoretically not lose the right to qualify, and the final round is the real Armageddon. (The final round matches are Japan PK Spain, Germany PK Costa Rica)
