If anyone is going to nullify France and take Mbappe out it's Argentina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,717 Posted November 27, 2022 Well, Spain vs Germany tonight will be one to keep an eye on. Germany will be a wounded animal wanting to prove themselves but will no doubt also know that a loss will mean they are all but out of the world cup while Spain will be flying high and probably a little hungover still from their 7-0 win.. Will be interesting that's for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,443 Posted November 27, 2022 Costa Rica is ingrained in football for me after they beat Scotland 1 nil at the 1990 World Cup. We battered them for most of the 2nd half, but could not get the equaliser. Ah those were the days. Making tournaments then going out by a goal. At least Wales are keeping the spirit alive.

If Spain tonk Japan and Germany stuff Costa they'll go through with only 3 pts. Japs have really thrown it away. Just goes to show in tournament football there are so many variables and if you cannot win make sure you don't lose! Should add a heavy defeat for Germany tonight lets Japan back in again.
