If the Japanese - as is likely - manage to beat Costa Rica in the lunchtime game in the evening they will be on TV with Spanish flags and scarves!
With their own victory and if the Germans do not beat the Spaniards, they will automatically be in the knockout stages. Not needing points in their most difficult game in the group, the one against Spain in the final matchday. Against the Germans, they made the big surprise, overturning the score with goals from Doan and Asano who entered the match as a substitute. Costa Rica were thrashed 7-0 by the Spanish and their hopes of qualification now belong to the realm of science fiction.
Keylor Navas, after the nightmarish match of the premiere, will try to keep the fast attacking line of the Japanese away from his nets. Up to a point he can succeed, but it will be difficult for his team to avoid defeat.
Of course, the extent to which a team that finished matches with 18% possession and 17-0 final attempts can be transformed is a question. The Japanese also conceded 25 finals to the Germans, but Godo was unbeaten, even if he is to blame for the penalty he conceded to the Germans which put Japan behind.
