Thus, after France, Spain (practically already qualified too) also lost the third group match.
I didn't watch the game but I guess the second-row players did, those players who probably won't play again in this World Cup, those who have been granted a moment of glory.
Curious to see what Brazil will do now.
As in the last World Cup Germany was eliminated before the round of 16.

But they didnt expect Japan to win against Spain and they didnt count on that and probobly came really shocking to them. For spain this is better because they are going on Morroco that is easier
I think the first mistake you are making is underestimating a country in this world cup, since the beginning of this world cup we have seen some strong countries being defeated by countries that's don't really perform well before, i don't think anybody believes Japan and Morroco are going to perform well in this world cup, the two countries are even topping their table, and also who believes Saudi Arabia will win Argentina? Even as Saudi lost all their matches after winning Argentina but nobody believes they will win.I believe in this world cup no country should be underestimated, Spain shouldn't think Morroco will be a easy country to win for them, because their performance have not really been bad and they will do everything possible to win their match against Spain in round 16.
Germany with an expected win i even expected that after the losing that they were gonna turn it around. But they didnt expect Japan to win against Spain and they didnt count on that and probobly came really shocking to them. For spain this is better because they are going on Morroco that is easier
Actually, Germany did a big turn around after the big loss but, it was useless as that wasn't even meant to guarantee Thier victory into the group E,... It was just fucked up!
Spain also made my breath cut as the LOST to Japan? How's that? Yeah, but afterall - it happened right to my face, but the most shocking part is that Espanyol was in full control of the game , with a good gameplay, pushing in those coordinated japanese players - into their coast but, it was too tight and they barely had a space to drift through with the ball. Let's see how their performance will be against Morocco.

Germany had a very good comeback against Costa Rica tonight, but they were eliminated from the tournament when they did not get the news they expected from the match between Japan and Spain. Gary Lineker's memorable words about the Germans have not come true in the last two world cups. He had already limited it to history (https://twitter.com/garylineker/status/1012001314094682112). 
In my opinion, the early elimination of the Germans from the tournament will be added to the most important statistical data of this tournament. It was also an unforgettable event that Japan became the group leader when they were in the same group as Spain and Germany. I think this world cup has very enjoyable moments.

just waiting for 4 more countries, but I don't expect Portugal to meet Brazil, I hope both of them can meet in the final or quarter-finals.

Bad luck for Belgium. They are kicked out of the Qatar world cup in 2022.They got a lot of chances but they didn’t success any opportunity. Lukaku missed 2-3 easy chances.They played very poor football in this world cup.Today match were Belgium 0-0 Croatia. Croatia played their natural games.Hopefully, Belgium will be back more stronger in next World cup. Congratulation Croatia for Qualify in next round.
I confess, I was also surprised with this event!I believe, Belgium went through a considerable restructuring, and that's why the team got weaker.
In the 2018 world cup, Belgium had an excellent team, and they even managed to eliminate Brazil in that World Cup

Germany must have been very surprised by the results. The players tried their best to win against Costa Rica by scoring 4 goals. They certainly hope to enter the next qualification. However, they had to swallow disappointment because unexpectedly, Spain also had to submit to Japan. This is really unexpected, right? Even though Japan is not a reliable team, they can beat the two giant teams Germany and also Spain. I saw the looks of disbelief at the Spanish players at the end of the match. Luckily they are still in for the next qualification.

Germany have been one of the biggest disappointments in the World Cup together with Belgium. They got the needed kind of a win against Costa Rica maybe but Japan's determination was still an obstacle for them to reach next stage of the World Cup. It is all Germany's fault because they should have secured a good advantage in the group before this matchday already.
Especially their loss against Japan played a key role in the current look of the group. Because this important win encouraged Japan to do even better. They played more courageous than Germany in this stage and it was a well-deserved ticket for next stage.

When it comes to Belgium I don't have much hope about them. They already have no other choice than winning against Croatia now. Even a draw is enough for Croatia to advance and I think they will get it. Because there are still unsolved in-team problems for Belgium and I expect it to affect them in this match also negatively.
Belgium has performed poorly so far in this tournament and their performance so far against Croatia was not much better. They need to win this match. A draw will be useless for them, since they went down to Morocco in the previous match. Now winning against Croatia is going to be a tough task, because the Croatian defense is very experienced and in the first two matches they conceded just one goal. I have a feeling that this world cup is going to end very badly for the UEFA teams. Denmark is already out. Belgium can be the next one. When it comes to Belgium I don't have much hope about them.

I would say the performance of European teams is not satisfactory. They are not playing well. England and Spain started the World Cup brilliantly. But they could not maintain continuity. Today, Spain is trailing 2-1 against Asian team Japan. On the other hand, Germany's match with Costa Rica is in a 2-2 draw. Renowned teams like Denmark, Belgium and Germany failed to qualify for the round of 16. I think the European teams took the African and Asian teams lightly. That is why they are in such a poor condition.

Yes, correct guess. Belgium could not get out of the group due to a draw with Croatia. There are still very good teams in UEFA teams. Spain is the most stable for now. They became one of the important candidates for the championship. Today is a critical day for Germany. To get out of the group, Spain needs to beat Japan. Of course, Germany must also pass Costa Rica.
Germany are having a very comfortable match just as many people were expecting. As long as Japan don't draw with Spain, even a draw will be enough for Germans to qualify for next round. It is even a big surprise how Germany couldn't score more than one goal in the first half. Because Costa Rica have played so desperately until now. They had only one goal attempt and they were completely dominated in ball possession also - 30% to 70%. I don't think much thing will change in the second half unless Germany become complacent.
Japan were really close to scoring a goal in the 8th minute with Junya Ito but he missed an important chance. This was like the turning point of the match because Spain scored the first goal only three minutes later. Maybe things would have been much more different than this if Japan scored it. Now they have no choice except equalizing the score to maintain their chance for next round.

even though if you look at the many opportunities in the second half that could be goals if Lukaku really took advantage of that moment but unfortunately he was like barren, Belgium continued to attack during the second half but didn't produce any results, it was really very unfortunate to see Belgium fail to qualify from Group FBelgium won 1-0 against Canada in the first match. But their performance was not satisfactory. They made several mistakes throughout the match. Their weaknesses are easily perceived. But they did not solve their weaknesses. As a result they did not win the next two matches. There are several star players in the squad. The bonding between the players was not good. Their main striker Lukaku missed several easy chances. They failed to qualify due to their own mistakes. They should have performed more carefully after the first match.
It's not Belgium's bad luck. This is their failure. The Belgium squad was not weak. Despite having star players like Eden Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne and Courtois in the squad, Belgium's performance was very poor. Although Belgium won against Canada, Canada's players performed better than Belgium. Belgium was very lucky to win a match. Belgium's squad was strong, but tactical errors prevented them from performing as expected. Anyway, congratulations to the Morocco and Croatia teams. They managed to qualify for the round of 16.
We should say hard luck to their fans. Although people look at the star studded squad of Belgium but fail to see that they are all old.
Moreover most of the called up players are just based on names. Some of them are not having enough playing time in there respective clubs. Players like the Hazard brothers and Lukaku aren't worthy of a start in the team.
Belgium were already aware that this was coming for them. Because some players are still obstinate about keeping a professional attitude when it comes to doing their job. This is like the most important tournament for a national team. You just can't carry your personal issues to the field in a big tournament like this. These problems resulted in a terribe outcome for Belgium of course.
There were some times they tried to do better but they just couldn't maintain this ambition throughout a match. Aside from that, Belgium actually play much better when it comes to EUROs. They reached the quarter finals in the last one for example. Probably they will be the same in EURO 2024 as well.

It is understandable for teams to have unexpected wins, but most of the time it is the big team that has an unexpected loss. People do not understand the difference between one team winning and one team losing. When one team plays amazingly well, they can win, but if they play normally and how they usually do, yet the other team who is a lot better ends up playing horribly then thats the difference.
I believe that Saudi Arabia didn't play specially amazingly, they played normally, but Argentina couldn't crack how to beat the offside tactic and that's why they lost. That's something you can't really have at this stage and that caused trouble for them. Which is why I say Saudi Arabia didn't win, Argentina lost.
