So Spain could have the 2nd best goal differential in the entire group stage and still go home. Fantastic.

EDIT: and Germany equalizes, so Spain is back in... For now

Scheisse.

If Japan can hold and Costa Rica get another then both Germany and Spain will need to pack their shit.

Bump

I guess we settle for German tears today.

An equalizer from Spain would knock Japan from winning the group to not even advancing.

Doubt many Germans thought they'd be pulling for Spain right now.

Exactly, a three team group might be FIFA's worst idea yet (which takes some doing).

Just curious - the games are on TSN in Canada, right? Who do you have commentating on the games?

Luke Wileman and Stephen Caldwell have been doing the play-by-play and color analysis. They're a pretty good duo, a little too homerish at times,

Is Bobby McMahon still on TV in Canada?

Apparently they’re reconsidering the format.
