a game. it was japan to turn it to be on the end of an upset. they went into this game against costa rica, full of confidence. after that, when a for germany, he would have expected to be as close to reconcile. he lost it says vanilla. it wasn't to me. it was the cup to reconcile with the light, to stink in the town. an 81st minute went out to them. now i'm joined by somebody disappointed japanese fan lenses lug. did you deserve to lose that game? yes, but oh, i do my best. but for some more said the goalkeeper. oh, do mistake, but to i don't think so all day can i ask you, do you agree? do you think gandhi should have done better with that shot? ah, yeah, he did the best. yeah. he did the best. but you know, today's not, not his date. yeah. yes, and how do you feel going into that game with spain? can you be them? yes,

even when i read. oh, very low, but i did book the book. yeah. oh yeah. oh yeah. oh costa rica. say to great character to keep that well. i was alive and then japan's in the price as the spot and still feeling confident night this great still white. i put a jasmine ash al jazeera adds on had been alley stadium or japanese, found the so sharp to target. dana, what today, anyway, the place are you guys it's so old to play for box. unfortunately, exactly what it is, a groupie after that result, have a look at this table cost to make it out. joy, the spite of japan own 3 points. read that jeopardy. take all the spanish block plus the photo guy of the die in a win for the job. it would see all 4 teams level on 3 points going into the final

round of matches. well, let's bring into football right now to check our california. he's a costa rica, aged, a quite remarkable guy. we say today they said a few years ago that costa rica was the happiest nation on earth, according to that happy planet index. you know, the, you know, i'm talking about, i guess what happened is sky of us, we off the charts right now in costa rica. actually going into the game. obviously, not really high hopes. we're expecting a bit of an improvement, a list by that any one minute goal was amazing. we gotta come in because that's how we played on the fire for woke up by. that's always going into roles. as mentioned, just are shown by good. amazing. yeah. you last 7 years, the guy where did the result come from? didn't both to go back to the roots of our plate and mention in the 5 hundreds. we

were very defensive theme. very little shelton target. same us today why we took our kansas saying we try to be a bit more proactive and really didn't go away. this is definitely has to be called the well cup of shop, certainly. and in the group sites with that a boy or do you really realistically, csl qualifying out of this group? i mean it's been this river really gave us it might look like that we'll see about today or germany. i don't have any my think after the next round a stand in time, so stop way we saw how much to reconcile her on that sounds great. so i wouldn't, i was very, very thought ok, i did talk to worry about that. i dropped the checker football right to. i'm

a very happy costa rica 5. thank you very much for the 3rd game at the daisies croatia up against canada. peter stemming is, are mad at how lisa international stadium now. peter, i know you're a big canada fan by both sides looking for their 1st when the tournaments yeah, for a you've influenced me significantly enough for me to become a magnificent lodge. canadian fan. obviously that's not true, but it's more a country right. well that point right here. ok. canada in the opening game. exactly, exactly. so as you say, canada not off to the best of stores against belgium when they 1st get, but let's be honest. the canadians actually played a very entertaining brand of football base with me look to, to be trying to school go the least they were attacking. they were in surprising and it was fun to watch. and unfortunately,

they didn't get the result that they needed. they did out, we have to get that penalty, which the store man phones, davies missed so that didn't really help matters. and in belgium who, let's be honest. they looked slow and they looked lethargic. and they do have a team that is a little bit older than the canadian to or a younger side. belgium, the managed to stable fed wave of attack and they manage to it's a sleek, a one, the wind. so that's good for belgium, canada. now here against croatia, looking for that 1st when i remember they haven't been at the woke up since 986 when it took place in mexico. but the crow as themselves. well, they need a wind to because they will help to a no, no drawing their opening match against morocco. so there's lots of playful here. no doubt about it. and there's, there's been a bit of fighting talk ahead of the game. tell us about that. yeah far so i'm just thing very, very close to my notes here, the canadian keep a meal and boy and he's actually of serbian, the things and without pissing out

a history lesson or a political listen, you know, there is tension in the balcony, right? to be in the crow ets, and this goes back to the cold war era and in the post cold war era. so you said you could, flavio and they all broke up into these individual countries. and the canadian coach with common thing that they would be looking to beat the cro at for the 30. and now obviously the crevice didn't take kindly to that. as you can imagine, given the, the, the tensions and the rivalries within the region. but just something else is very interesting that good, that it's the creation coach. somebody else any wasn't happy with. he said that he still felt disrespected by having to play a 1300 local palm golf match in their open against the moroccans, which of course didn't know no draw. he didn't blame the draw for the early kick off, but he felt that as the run is up from the previous will, they should have been given a later time. so kind of like what we've seen with front the defending champion,

kicking off later at night. okay, well peter, i will see you down there and shortly. look for me. all right, canada coach john herdman says he's got he's confident he's got a really good game plan against croatia. what do you think is going to happen? well i agree with the coach when he said that they deserve more definitely against belgium and they got 54 percent possession of 22 chances for 9 of the red devils. they missed penalty. they just, those are definitely something more a didn't know that they, they, they prove that they know how to fight. it's going to be a similar game with a powerful midfield, if not, not going to be cut into broken. but yes, look more rich. but stella and earlier to the costa rica, they chose the at the end of the day, it's a matter of face. yeah. anything can happen. we've seen that. we'll see what

happens. well, so as he talks on there with pay to the crisis coach glasgow dollars, not particularly happy with the candidate manager, john had been off the english with bites of well. so he said provocative statement about the car is decided to lead up to this guy for ball this earlier we spoke to creation football, right? you're very gauge. yeah, it's been definitely not build up to the game. you wouldn't expect mine games between croatia, canada, but i guess those are the international tournaments, major tournaments like this. they can always part from united. yeah, i mean from depression perspective, the canadian comments was surprising. but on the other hand, i'm really happy and surprised even that ration did not react in a way that they wanted to return. who say, man of, they actually said that they want to speak of the pitch. and they are the students in a way, john and his intentions with the comments made on that they actually might be able

to told the press that it's his right to do so. and if that motivate the team, then great, but frasier got them and they're going to speak on the bench. and i believe that's what they'll do this evening. it's arguably the most anticipated clash of the group, sage spain, taking on germany for time winters, germany lucky to avoid another defeat at the bait stadium. tonight, they came up short against japan in their opening game. germany finished the bottom of their group in russia 4 years ago and went out of the heroes in the last 161 the 2 nearly that's by and laughed to tournaments were not good for us. we want to avoid a repeat of. therefore, the absolute focused on concentration is this is the 1st final course at the world cup. you ok, ok, money is not a here because she was that germany a very similar despite in terms of dominating the play and controlling it. that means that it will be a very noisy challenge for us. they have the same objective,

which is to keep the bold pressure on and playing the opponent half. i think it will be an open game, but now the costa rica japan results is not gonna have an effect on the germ nice jeremy german teams frame of mind heading into this match. not much because i see both the germany and the spain. we're going to go to the game looking for a win and, but i think it's a little bit a boost of energy for, for germany because said they see themselves in a position that if they manage to get there when they can even end up in tub leaving the group, so that's something i think they were not expecting. so it's, i don't think it will tend to plan of flick, or always re give these costa rica surprise. but for a little bit more energy to germany, maybe it will have a little effect at the gym at the performance of the spanish team and the way that they'd be located. and just to feed around the spanish squad ahead of the game

against germany. spain definitely surprised a lot of people what, how well that they've been doing and many people's favors now with the competition is that surprising people but hybrid stay because they've said they're really, really young baby this while cups coming a little bit to say well, they don't consider a spain like a possible contender, because sir, they haven't won anything yet. they are really young as a team under construction. they have a lack of efficiency in both areas. you can say, spend 17 nil. yeah. but it's against want costa rica. they, they need to prove it. so now i was just going to ask you what, what, what's there in spite what, what, how, how is the media be following this guy? well, i mean, is everyone, no, absolutely. are the well cuts really started or were playing germany tonight? or of course they are much more excited than before, and probably more people are in favor of ros enrica, that it has got quite a lot of criticism. but it's a really young timothy was mentioning the 30 youngest in the, in this world cup it. but on the same time they don't have the pressure because

that by chrome they don't, it are pushing them. okay. you need to win. so i think this is the approach of the media there. what really we spoke to sports journalists, martin diblasio langer in barcelona. when the group was, sir, was made, people thought ok, this is not a, an impossible group, but it's, there's germany and jeremy's whole was going to be difficult. but after the 1st her to, to results germany losing to japan and spain, beating 7, neil costa rica. people understand that this is a historic opportunity for the spanish national team. there were a lot of criticism to recently k when he or of veiled his court because there were play years like yeah go ask, but we're not called that. he called that since you're from grandmother, you hope you didn't play too much. so did. there were a lot of criticism, but now the situation has changed and people understand that spain can even draw

with germany and doubt mean germans her out of the world got so. so there is of course, excitement in the into fans and her. and everybody expects a good result. now nobody's thinking guar beek, germany, they could be beat bad germany. now people are very optimistic on the venue for the game is the extraordinary and unique our bait stadium. adie. richardson has been taking a look at what makes the arena so special. a stadium reflecting the nomadic culture of the region is providing a home for footballs biggest tournaments. 35 kilometers north of the capitol, doha, this is al bate stadium with it's designed to represent a better win 10th. the traditional high lift catalyst passed has now become a place to welcome fans from around the world. ah,

i don't know if that's exactly what everyone's going for them and are you that competent? yep. no, very well the 1st game, but it's a tough game, but a word content. we don't have a problem with john, buddy, i'll send you off at ron bay gabby, and they're going to do it. and you guys have, as i said, traveled over here. how was your welcome experience gone so far? which matches to be gone to? we've been to england, us friends, australia, mexico, argentina. great on look for. i'm in the countries. beautiful. people are friendly . i mean it's very, very nice. it's beautiful. it's operate on 3 weeks of we are very, very happy. it's been great. well, thank you so much guys, really appreciate your time again. love a little of the spine. a lot of people very interested in the results of that big match between the european heavy whites taking place in a couple hours. all right. like see, we'll talk to you soon. thank you so much for now. about to last night now and you

know, bessie was up to the rescue once again as argentina got that well captured, paid back on track with her absolutely vital with of, of mexico at the lasalle stadium a little bit. i so. 1 millions of argentinians are breathing a sigh of relief. and when, as i raised lucy, newman found hope is now re ignited of going on to the next stage, the tournament, and beyond. a huge sigh of relief from millions of argentines during the 1st half of the game against mexico, you could hear a pin drop as the crowd prayed for a goal that didn't come. alexandra and daniela stood nervously at half time. my know now got married on is going to help

a lot from heaven. madonna, from earth. messy and here. all of us argent times with us. you know it's a passion and yet we are. jan times are very passionate and football is what unites is all. there is nothing that unites is more than argentina's national team and you want to know what i'm hearing when their team finally scored 2 goals. the tension in fear of being eliminated, at least for now, evaporated. ah, a survive. what many put him in the end of argentina? i have been going on a lot of hard times with him right now. a argentina's football superstar leonel missy got 9000000 likes in just the 1st hour

after thanking fans on his instagram account, having beaten mexico to nil. the post game celebration reverted to song some chance about beating argentina's football rival, brazil. both teams still have a long way to go, but here they're already dreaming of winning the world cup against their historic adversary. oh, you see in human al jazeera window site is ok, let's bring in jim again to talk argentine. and this is why mfc is so special because he comes to the aid of his team when they need it. yeah, he's that kind of player that has the ability to put the game upside down just like that. it was really a tough game forge and you know, for messy mexico really play to, to get a troll. they somehow deals a cage wrong. missed that for my new players so much for my son,

and not only scored the goal here for the in. so for on the same goal and she was absolute impression that urgency was needing to time. you know that he's 19 players doing having them within the woke up and he's so much a leader inside and outside the beach. well let's look ahead to poland because argentina are going to have to be in great form for poland in their last group match. definitely so little messy. he needed to put the spirits up after that shocking defeat again. so the area now, i think he has the role to put the spirits down a little bit because they haven't shipped anything. i mean the 40 a yesterday in the locker room, you can understand it because they suffer so much. they were struggling, but they haven't won anything yet. so now that they need to focus, actually they already did. they didn't have much rest. they have already trained in the university of are, they will be coming the day off until that crucial game again, say poland. and they need to go to that game thinking about the way. and if it's

true that the draw might take them to the next stage, but they need to focus and try to get a win. how much is the world still going to compare massey no matter what he does to marry donna? i mean, it's always, it's going to be his charlo. it's true that now we are just, you know, they say he's not of the nice of bearing the sky taking care of argentina and all the squats. but he will always have that comparison. and i think it's quite kind of an unfair because she always been judge like why should be them though his career in or john tina, if he didn't sing the anthem? well, of origin, tina, and all that seeing he what he has done lately on the beach and winning the co palm . erica has eventually gave him some crating urgent, but i think they have been quite unfair with him. well mfc seems to be extra motivated here is it, has it is his final world car. i'm not sure about this what he said,

but who will seen them bucking can of the us. but he is. i think he feels that's for the 1st time that team is a has a real chance to win the world cup. i don't think he even believe that in 2014, when they made it to the, to the final, he feels the leader. he's more much more mature. he already got silverware in the copper medica. see he's, he's been quite relieved and she's super extra motivated that game against poland. it's going to have to be a spicy because it's going to be a missile on those. yeah, i like that word spicy. well, also group a polar stop. saudi arabia from causing another ox upset at cats on 2022. pollard i went ahead of the software robot lever. don't set up the key for the open in saudi arabia. how to jump to level before the break, where they were awarded a penalty. bob paul, the keeper, vortex, has the rose to the occasion with a double. sorry. saudi arabia's heart respectively with the 2nd hall,
