What a week of football this was, especially the group E had me struggling. I had a small bet on Spain in their match against Japan only to see them lose the match 2-1 with a 83% ball possession. How is that even possible to lose a match like that. Now with hindsight it seems that Spain wanted to get rid of Germany and make sure Japan can get to the next stage. But why didn't Germany just play for a draw before winning to get pressure on Spain to win the match. If Germany had lost than both Japan and Costa Rica would have advanced. With group E I only lost money so far. At least Portugal and Switzerland both advanced to the next match so I could recover my losses. As for today Argentina vs Australia should be a very one sided match. Argentina should take the win home in 90 minutes without problems. As for the Netherlands vs USA match, I do think Netherlands is going to win but I am not sure if there will be overtime or not. And tomorrow France should easily win against Poland. Good way to make some small wins before the quarter finals.
I also thought that Spain just decided to get rid of Germany this way, because after Morata's goal they almost stopped playing. In the second half I can't remember any dangerous moments in their performance.
And Germany should have conceded at the very beginning of the match, one or two goals, so that the Spaniards got nervous and scored not one but two or three goals at once. And by the way, according to this game, it would have been fair for Costa Rica and Japan to win and then they left the group without Spain and Germany, but unfortunately, the fact turned out that the Spaniards framed Germany and "pulled" the Japanese team with them.
