If Costa Rica scores at least a point or even wins against Japan, Germany’s chances increase ahead of the game against the Spaniards on Sunday evening (8:00 pm). On the other hand, if Japan wins for the second time, the DFB’s selection will be very close to the end if they draw against Spain due to goal difference. “Beating Germany doesn’t guarantee anything against Costa Rica. We have to play differently. If not, we won’t win,” said coach Hajime Moriyasu.

The Belgian favorites are waiting for the return of star striker Romelu Lukaku. But the 29-year-old should initially sit on the bench only after a long injury. The Moroccan is still worried about the use of his full-back Noussair Mazrouei from Bayern Munich. After a 0-0 start against Croatia, the North African will be looking to provide the next surprise.
