Well-known Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov - about the denouement of the struggle in group "E" of the 2022 World Cup. Recall that in this quartet, Japan and Spain took the first and second places, respectively, while Germany finished only third. In the last round, Spain lost to Japan (1:2), which “buried” the hopes of the German national team to leave the group.
"Congratulations! The Spaniards, at the risk to themselves, merged Germany (I can’t take it otherwise) and with the help of very good Japan and not bad Costa Rica created Munki’s sensation number three.
Ah, Europe...
Minus Denmark, Belgium, Germany (what a crisis, huh?!). Who else?!
The exit of Costa Rica, hanging for a couple of minutes, is ridiculous. Again...
By the way, the Germans repeated the score of their duel with the Kyrgyz Republic in the opening match of the 2006 World Cup. And the score is not easy...,” Frankov wrote in his telegram channel.
В общем зря немцы выиграли - им это не помогло, а вылететь вместе с Испанией было бы не так обидно :)))
