What a great game this would have been if Japan had won earlier. 

That result has definitely taken a bit of the edge of the occasion. Being able to knock Germany out tonight would have been such a motivator for the Spanish

Vamos!

So City have two defensive midfielders in this match, one is playing center half, the other as a 10.

Germany look weak in attack, packed midfield, are they just looking for a draw ?

Oof. Spain looking irresistible.

Gribbo

Spain the ones to beat by looks of this

That shade of red does it for me to.

Nice little warning from Germany though

Spain look good but lack of centre forward will cost them in the later stages.

Raum checking his Crown Jewels 😩.

Think France would still be my bet over Spain from Europe…..

Brazil somewhere in there but not sure on the South American sides yet 

Chunes

Booooo

Edit - yayyyyyy

CL_Phantom

Sure he was off

DaveMehmet

Ha ha ha offside 

killerandflash

That sort of quick decision justifies VAR for me. In a tight game at this level, it would have been wrong for the game potentially be decided by a clearly offside goal.

CL_Phantom

Just put me in charge of VAR  

ValleyGary

That marking wow

Feels like there's been a lot of goalless first halves.

Chizz

I knew I'd seen that German kit somewhere else 

ForeverAddickted

Germany have been by far the better team

ValleyGary

No natural centre forward in tournament football, where one chance can make a difference, is mental to me. Tbf Germany dont really have one either.

PWR: which of these two should Charlton try to play like?

The BBC really want us to watch this bloody SAS thing don’t they?!

agreed, exactly the point of VAR and like you say a quick easy decision is how it should be used

Struggling to keep interest with this tournament at the moment. All the play feels so slow. Bring on the knockouts when teams have to go for it.

IdleHans

I think some of the third round group games are going to be very tense and exciting. I bloody hope so anyway

Japan rather spoilt tonight's game by losing earlier. If they had won, then Germany would have needed the win tonight to stay in, and would have had to go for it
