Complacent defending. What was that loopy kick up in the air by the centre half? Sometimes its better to stick your boot through it than making silly kicks like that.

Yep. I suppose late in the game causes fatigue, but.....
If Costa Rica hold on, Germany will have to win now.
They don't need to beat Spain, they could still go through even losing today if this remains 1-0. If Spain beat the Japanese and the Germans beat Costa Rica then 2nd place will all be on 3 points and down to goal difference. If that were the case, I expect Germany to qualify.
One of the funniest games I have ever seen.
Costa Rica ventured forward once (albeit off a mistake) and scored.
Very wasteful the Japanese. They never play like that against us.
Does anyone know what the chant was?
Sounded something like:
Oh, let him go.
Let him go.
Let him go.
Let him go.
Was an enjoyable 90 mins.

Yep, the results of the 1st match day in the group understandably fed complacency. This group, like ours, wide open now.
I guess he could have given the bench a Yellow, but it showed the quality of the Ref and the command he had. No doubt the Brazilian Ref would have shown the bench a Yellow, in fact he did.
Belgium, as they were v Canada, pedestrian & deservedly beaten by Morocco.
German equaliser has opened up their group.

I wonder how many of the Moroccan players grew up in France, playing in the French system for their junior and youth days. Or at least for part of their formative years. The historical links with France mean a huge multi-generation Moroccan diaspora lives in France. And you see the cross over in sport a fair bit.
Spain would be on 5 and win the group.
Japan and Germany would be tied on 4 points and you'd think Germany would beat them by more than 1 goal which would result in them having a better goal difference than Japan. Japan simply couldn't lose that game if they wanted to qualify.
14 of their 26 players born overseas according to this article.
Home is where you make it: FIFA World Cup full of players not representing their country of birth
FIFA’s laws in relation to being eligible for a country you weren’t born in have been a topic of hot debate for Australian football fans, with a large number of players selected for the Socceroos who weren’t born in the country.
