World Cup Group E preview: Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan

European giants Germany and Spain will go head-to-head in the Group E of the 2022 World Cup in what promises to be one of the most entertaining draws throughout the whole tournament.

Germany, who were crowned world champions in 2014, will look to avenge their shock group stage exit in Russia four years ago, although being drawn alongside Spain has made that task much tougher. And that is without taking into consideration their other two opponents, with tournament regulars Japan and 2014 quarter-finalists Costa Rica looking to upset the odds.

Mirror Football tells you all you need to know about Group E’s participants, including how they qualified, the ones to watch for each side and when the fixtures take place.
