Denmark are excellent at creating chances and woeful at taking them.

I've just watched a replay, and that sums it up. Denmark would love to have someone of the quality of the Laudrup brothers leading the line today.

Well done Aussie. Solid and compact at the back, and took their chance well.

England defender, Ben White, has left Qatat and flown home for personal reasons. The FA are not expecting him to return to the tournament.

Crazy to think that if Denmark had snagged a goal from one of their many chances, Tunisia would be going through!

I thought Denmark used the ball very very well, just lack a bit of class to finish. Oz aren’t going to score a lot of goals but their compact style seemed to frustrate Denmark.

Oz to get Argentina (likely). Plenty of neutrals will be on the Aussie wagon.

If Poland give up two more yellows then there will be a drawing of lots to decide the second spot in the group. (Changes if there are any more goals in either game though)

straya good at the kickball.

Very briefly aboard ...

Very entertaining period but just couldn't quite put one in the net.

@booboo That second goal by the Mehicans was a fucking rocket

Bovidae

After watching Denmark and Poland play they'd have a pretty good team if you added Lewandowski with the other 10 Danish players. Denmark create chances but can't finish, while Poland don't even give Lewandowski a chance to score.

Tense, nervous headaches

Japan just equalised then nearly took the lead

Spain still sucking Sevilles in the changing room

MiketheSnow

Shit he’s given it

Looked out to me

Japan 2-1 Spain

That’s a poor decision. Surely that was out.

This is crazy!

I only have half an eye and ear on the game but from the way the commentators are talking it's either Spain or Germany missing out, not both. Or am I missing something?

That's right. And if Costa Rica beat Germany BOTH of them go out.

Germany are playing to save Spain, in a way. Given their shared history of fascist dictators, it seems oddly right.

If Spain score Germany go thru.

Krauts gorrrrrrrrrrrrn

I was watching Germany-Costa Rica. Did Spain try to get an equaliser or were they happier to finish 2nd and avoid Croatia?

They kept trying.
