Germany are out of the World Cup thanks to a controversial Japanese goal against Spain in the other game in Group E which has left pundits and experts baffled.
Spain went ahead early on against Japan through Alvaro Morata, while Germany set about hammering Costa Rica, a game the Germans won 4-2, despite a little second-half scare. If Spain won, too, then both them and Germany would have gone through.
However, another debate-sparking moment appears to have decided the fate of Group E concerning Ao Tanaka's winning goal for Japan against Spain in the 51st minute.
