This blog is now closed, thanks for joining us. These were the updates on the Costa Rica vs Germany World Cup 2022 match on Thursday, December 1.
- Costa Rica XI: Navas, Vargas, Fuller (Bennette, 74′), Duarte, Oviedo (Wilson, 90+’), Waston, Borges, Tejeda (Contreras, 90+’), Aguilera (Salas, 46′), Venegas (Matarrita, 74′), Campbell.
- Germany XI: Neuer, Raum (Gotze, 67′), Rudiger, Sule (Ginter, 90+’), Kimmich, Goretzka (Klostermann, 46′) Mueller (Havertz, 66′), Musiala, Gundogan (Fullkrug, 55′), Sane, Gnabry.
- It’s all to play for in Group E as anyone could still qualify, but since the bottom two are facing each other, only one will be able to advance.
- Following their shock win over Japan, Costa Rica could do with a point if the other result is favourable, but will need all three to be sure.
- Germany are yet to win at this World Cup, but that will need to change if they are to give themselves a chance of advancing to the last 16. Even then, they will need Spain to prevent Japan from winning.
