Yeah, Germany is out despite winning 4:2 in the end because Spain lost against Japan. However, advancing to the next round was not earned, even the commentators here agree.

I'm rooting for the US now, though I'm not that optimistic about the next round here. Let's see.

Spain running up the score against Costa Rica broke the tie for them.

Credit to Spain for not allowing Japan to use the same tactics they used in 2018 against Poland, too. They had a 5 goal cushion but pushed until the end, even if winning would result in them playing Croatia, arguably a tougher opponent than Morocco.

Germany has solidarity to Italy.

When Italy fails to qualify for the World Cup, Germany fails to qualify for the 2nd round.

Since the World Cup has 32 national teams, there is a curse for the national teams which defeated Brazil

France 1998: eliminated in the 1st round in 2002
France 2006: eliminated in the 1st round in 2010
Germany 2014: eliminated in the 1st round in 2018
Belgium 2018: eliminated in the 1st round in 2022

Only Netherlands 2010 escaped this curse.

Following an early World Cup exit, Roberto Martinez is out as Belguim Manager.

There's going to be a decent number of clubs interested in Martinez. Maybe an Atletico Madrid, which probably should let go of Diego Simeone if they want to improve on fifth in La Liga in the  New Year?

And they were kind enough to give 3 points to their Axis brethren Japan.

The Dutch have their own curse when it comes to tournaments. They don't need another one.

Why can't Argentina win this year's FIFA World Cup?

In 2014, due to the 7 X 1, president Dilma Rousseff spread the curse to Germany, so that its national team fails to reach the 2nd round in the 2 following World Cups

No excuse for some of the misses - otherwise it's the coach who has to bring on Openda who would have put those away.

Anaway the end of the Martinez era. I hope we hire a meme like Hein Vanhaezebrouck.

I've lived in the same town Hein was born in, yeah i hope he becomes our manager lol.

If they hold off until the end of the EPL season, Jurgen Klopp could be available (assuming he isn't offered the Germany job instead.).

That hold up and timing of the pass from Son was ridiculous.

It took multiple miracles for Cameroon to qualify for the World Cup and lightning strikes again...

Cameroon decided to optimize it by simultaneously defeating Brazil and being eliminated.

Tite decided to use to B-team so that the A-team can rest until the next game on Monday. But Switzerland was very close to send Brazil to play against Portugal.

Concerning the games of group H, despite the fact South Korea can be an easier opponent, I am disapointed because I was expecting to see a South American classic Brazil vs Uruguay

Not the first time. There was Norway in 1998. But they were eliminated in the 2nd and not in the 1st round.

I don't think I want Jurgen Klopp. Maybe, but we will see. Don't think he's bad tho. But it's not my decision. I don't think the money is there to hire Klopp.

Klopp would not manage Belgium, lol. If Juve weren't such a basketcase, I'd say he might end up there, but his next job might be something more like PSG, Chelsea or maybe even one of the Spanish giants, not a national team.

The results I expect
Netherlands 3 X 1 USA
Argentina 3 X 0 Australia
England 2 X 1 Senegal
France 3 X 0 Poland
Japan 1(3) X 1(4) Croatia
Brazil 1 X 0 South Korea
Morocco 1 X 2 Spain
Portugal 0(4) X 0(5) Switzerland

I am not rooting for all results I expect. I am rooting for Argentina, Senegal, Japan, Brazil, Morocco, Portugal. I am neutral in Netherlands vs USA, and France vs Poland. I have a preference for the poorer countries. But I like the Japanese team. And I won't root for Poland because I don't like the ideology of the most recent polish governments.
