The Costa Rica national team match against the Germany in the 3rd week of the 2022 World Cup group E phase, Thursday, December 01, 2022 will be held at the Al Bayt Stadium (Al Khor) Stadium. The match will be exciting because Germany must win big over Costa Rica, and rely on the results of other teams in group E to advance to the knockout phase.
Germany only has 1 point on the board of Group E after only getting a draw against Spain, and losing to Japan. The DFB-Elf still have a chance to qualify for the round of 16, but the chance is very small, because it depends on the outcome of the Japan vs Spain match.
In theory, if Germany beat Costa Rica by more than 8 goals in this game, regardless of the results of other groups, the German team can qualify. But 8-0, can it be done? It is possible, if you reflect on Spain’s 7-0 win over Costa Rica in the first round.
Costa Rica is one of the teams with the most in Group E. However, they are now in 3rd place in the standings with 3 points, above Germany (1 point). The victory over Japan was surprising enough to boost the players’ morale to face Germany, after Los Ticos lost 7-0 to Spain.
Judging from the group points, Luis Fernando Suárez’s troops can still compete for 1 ticket to the knockout stage. But his opponent, Germany was injured and trying to get back up. A small mistake could make Costa Rica humiliated again with a wide score by Germany.
Costa Rica was the last team to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. The promotion process for the team can be said to be tortuous because at the beginning of the World Cup qualifying round, Costa Rica lost consecutively to main competitors such as the United States and Canada.
Luckily Los Ticos won the qualification while participating in the intercontinental play-off. A small win over team New Zealand sent Costa Rica through to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Armed with experience and a big name, four-time World Cup winners (1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014) should be able to get rid of Costa Rica, even with a big goal difference. Germany just has to focus more on the game than on anything else unrelated to the match.
