football toilet | Sad and embarrassing performance, thanks to the Germans, the media beat the Spanish players after the defeat in Japan

They were teetering on the brink of elimination. For about three minutes, when Costa Rica was leading Germany and losing to Japan, the Costa Ricans would advance to the round of 16 of the world championship. But in the end the Germans won 4:2, so the Spaniards could rejoice despite the shameful promotion defeat. They will face Morocco in the round of 16 on Tuesday.

The Spanish newspaper Sport called the performance of the Spanish footballers bad, despite leading from the 11th minute and dominating the ball possession statistics. “We were embarrassed. Disappointed Spain were eliminated for three minutes and only qualified thanks to Germany,” writes the Marca newspaper.

However, the media are also dealing with the highly questionable second goal by the Japanese, when according to many shots available it seems that the pass in front of goal has gone out of bounds. However, the VAR acknowledged the goal. The AS newspaper, on the other hand, had written “Danke” on its front page, indicating help from Germany.

“The team played the worst game,” writes Sport. Super Deporte writes of “booking and fear” and recalls the Spaniards’ performance in the round of 16 against hosts Russia at the 2018 World Cup, when they were also in possession of the ball most of the time, but for the opponent it meant almost zero dangers.

Now Mister Enrique’s men must fully concentrate on their round of 16 match against Morocco, which awaits them on Tuesday from 16:00.
