Germany Salvages A Draw Against Spain To Keep Their Hopes Alive

Germany forward Niclas Füllkrug emerged from the bench to salvage a 1-1 draw against Spain on Sunday at the World Cup.


Spain had taken the lead earlier through Alvaro Morata who chipped in with a superb finish .

The Germans still need to win their last group match to have a chance of advancing to the knockout stage. The four-time champions were eliminated in the group stage four years ago in Russia.

Germany will next face Costa Rica, which defeated Japan 1-0 earlier Sunday. Even a win may not be enough for the Germans, who are in last place in Group E and need the other result to go their way.

Germany has one point, two behind Japan and Costa Rica. Spain has four points and holds a big goal difference thanks to its opening 7-0 rout of Costa Rica.


The match between the pre-tournament favorites was one of the most anticipated in the group stage.

Other matches 

Morocco produced yet another upset to the world cup when they beat the world second best team Belgium 2-0 on Sunday.

The North African team became the first African team to beat Belgium.

In another matches,Costa Rica beat Japan 1-0 while Canada were unceremoniously eliminated from the world cup with a 4-1 defeat to Croatia.

Brazil Sent Packing As Croatia Proceeds To Semi Finals

Image
The World Cup of shocks continued on Friday as wily Croatia dumped favourites Brazil out on penalties. Brazil are gone, out of the World Cup that they always seemed so likely to win. They were favourites in this game and likely would have been in all of the ones to come. That didn't matter to Croatia as they fought harder than before to eliminate the 5 times winners. If this were David and Goliath, and make no mistake, Brazil are a Goliath, then a penalty shootout is seemingly Croatia's rock, the great equaliser. They pushed the mighty Selecao to penalties and took over from there, with Rodrygo's miss setting the tone for his side's collapse. And that's what it will feel like: a collapse. They seemingly had this settled thanks to Neymar , who had scored a career-defining goal in extra time. Bruno Petkovic equalised in the 116th minute and, from there, it all unraveled for Brazil, both the game and the World Cup. Croatia will play Argentina in the semi finals after t...
