Spain beating Germany and Japan beating Costa Rica in the next round of Group E doesn't look impossible! The Germans would be out with one game still to play.
Germany will have to hope for a miracle and that Costa Rica massively improve against Japan, that game is earlier on. Japan win, then Germany will have to beat Spain to stay in.

Japan wouldnt even need to beat Costa Rica in that scenario
I went to a one of Canada's world cup qualifiers vs. Panama. It was late Autumn in Edmonton (-5 degC with snow piled up around the pitch) so not ideal conditions for the Panamanians, and I don't know how good Panama are, but Canada were actually a lot better than I expected. Energetic and neat and tidy, with some good threats in attack. I don't know if they're quite good enough to make it out of the group, but both Belgium and Croatia are ageing sides on a downward trajectory. I think a youthful Canada could cause them some problems and certainly aren't going to be whipping boys like we just saw with Costa Rica.
Urgh, this is going to keep being brought up by journalists who don't understand how the semi-automation works, isn't it?
The whole basis of this article is wrong... the point of semi-automating these decisions is that the official does not have to pick the defender, it's done automatically for them.

People have popped out for a half time pint and realised theyve got to go to Lebanon to get it. Still quicker than queuing at The Valley though
Always a little bit better when its not the same old Nations - Feel they're a bit of a dark horse, especially with Croatia / Morocco drawing earlier.
Yeh will certainly be supporting Canada when watching the game. Can only watch evening games and looking forward to this one.
The Belgium are great thing is repetitive and annoying. They've won nothing.
They heavily rely on de bruyne.

Canada started very brightly, that wasnt against the run of play
