Manchester United great Gary Neville has slammed FIFA over a lack of "transparency" after a controversial goal from Japan saw them win 2-1 against Spain, knocking Germany out of the World Cup.
In a tournament that has thrown up numerous upsets already, the biggest of them all may well have been confirmed on Thursday. Germany beat Costa Rica 4-2 on the night, but Japan's 2-1 win over Spain saw Hansi Flick's side finish third as they failed to make it out of Group E and into the round of 16.
Spain themselves finished second - only coming ahead of the German's on goal difference - as Luis Enrique will no doubt look back on their 7-0 win over Costa Rica as the pivotal moment of their campaign so far. With both games kicking off at the exact same time, there was a fleeting moment where Costa Rica and Japan took the lead, results that would have seen the two European giants knocked out uncharacteristically early.
