A draw won‘t get them both through sadly. A draw and Germany need to win by 2 goals (or 1 goal if they score 1 more than Japan manage) and they’re through.

Germany have to hammer Costa Rica ,well +2.

Spain go through with a draw, japan need other results to go in their favour(tall ask i know).

If Japan draw 1-1 and Germany win 2-1, Japan win on head to head. However, if Germany were to win 3-2, they’d go through on goals scored. Similarly, if Japan finished goalless then a 2-1 would do for Germany.
Best bet is a Japan 1 goal win and Germany not then winning by 8 or more.…..

Just looking how it could pan out if all 4 win their groups, (and their last 16 game), England v France and Spain v Brazil as two of the four quarter finals. That does mean there are a couple of relatively softer routes elsewhere though to the semifinals.

There is no head to head, it is GD, GF, Fair Play points then lots.

Head to head is a UEFA thing (since 1996 qualifiers), FIFA never use it.

Southgate is basically Pulis on waistcoat.

I disagree and think they look weak. Portugal all day.

Portugal certainly weren't great. Brazil looked better defensively than them, created similar amount aswel. No team has really stood out as a definite favrioute so far.

Grey gareth will probably crumble and pick Foden tomorrow and then when he inevitably doesn’t win the game single-handedly and score a hat trick he’ll have his excuse not to pick him again and the press will support him

They use head to head but only as 3rd tie breaker.

Too soon... Steady on old chap; we're still a bit raw on Lizzie's passing back here in Blighty.

At Murphys bar in Orlando (City Supporters club) which @Mad Eyed Screamer knows they opened for Lizzie’s funeral at 5:30 in the morning and had a book of condolence for her. Even on holiday I’m not going to do that but apparently plenty did, fair fucks to the expatriate community of Florida.
