With Costa Rica and fellow World Cup holders, Spain still to play, Germany now face another uphill battle to escape the ‘Group of Death’ and their fans and media are already savaging the superstars.
The result sparked wild scenes of jubilation from Japan’s loyal travelling fans while Germany’s expectant fans could only watch on with their heads in their hands.
