ExiledAjax Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) So Spain are just flat-track bullies right? Also, surely Germany are mainly out because a) they lost to Japan, and b) they gained only +2 GD v Costa Rica compared to Spain's +7. The Japanese winner tonight is coincidental when held against those two things. Edited December 1, 2022 by ExiledAjax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
