Play to death Germany, avoid Brazil, the Spaniards want to fancy death? Theoretically, if Germany beats Costa Rica and Japan loses to Spain, Germany will definitely finish second in the group, and even if Japan can draw with Spain and Germany can beat Costa Rica by two goals, then Germany can still qualify second in the group.
But the question is, what if Spain plays a trick? First of all, the Spaniards have the capital to play children's ball. Spain currently has a goal difference of 7 goals, if it loses 0-1 to Japan, it is 4 points, 6 goal difference, Japan is the first in the group, Germany is now -1 goal difference, in order to catch up with Spain, you must make up for the difference in goal difference, which is not small; Secondly, Spain has an incentive to play, because if they lose to Japan, they can avoid Brazil in the quarterfinals and avoid the biggest favourites, which is enough for the Spaniards to take a risk.
The German website Sport1 raised this concern for good reason, because the Germans themselves have done it: at the 1982 World Cup in Spain, Germany and Austria played a 1-0 tacit match against Algeria, played in Gijón, Spain, known as the "Shame of Gijón", one of the most famous scandals in World Cup history. 40 years on, the Germans fear that they will be the object of fooling.
Of course, the Spanish media said they would not do it, and Marca reported that Spain would fight for victory and do everything in its power to secure a ticket to the knockout rounds. But what the outcome will be won't be known until after the game.
