I am watching the Spain Japan match, Japan made some substitutions and are playing brilliant football, but Havertz just scored.

And that's it. So damn disappointing.
These kids on the German team have such great individual talent, but they do not play like a team. Germany better get this shit fixed before the next World Cup. Shit, before the Euros.

And here's the BBC commentary team on hearing that Germany have been eliminated:
A bit predictable...and, let's face it, Germany has a much better World Cup track record than England. Jealousy is an ugly emotion...and gloating is worse!

Just like to say, that wasnt the commentary team this evening. At half time they were saying that both Spain and Germany had a good chance of winning it, at one stage both were out so they looked completely stupid.
So now you can start rooting for the Dutch team, Chris.

I did not watch the Japan-Spain game but after watching the replay, I'm calling BS. The ball was clearly out of play on the one goal. VAR back at the FIFA offices apparently "confirmed" it. Even the commentators called it as out of play. It was way beyond the line. It should have been 1:1. Germany would have had the goal difference advantage.

I'm just going to put this here again…
See that green between the ball and the line? Nope, not an upset well well deserved.

The whole of the ball has to be clear of the line. When you see players taking a corner the same rules apply and you can often see green between the ball and the line. In the link below is video from above, the ball doesn't go out.
Video shows Japan's controversial goal vs Spain was the RIGHT call
Images from FIFA - which Sportsmail can exclusively reveal - prove the decision for the goal to stand, which came after lengthy consultation by VAR, was the right one.

That is what has happened in the English Premier League. It hasnt eliminated controversy, you just get different controversies that take an age and kill the enjoyment of the game. But you cant get rid of it.Yeah, well its making it even worse…

I mean come on, some of the goals in this tournament were called back because literally the VAR determined the scoring player was a "C-Hair" length in the offsides.
