•
The Bundesliga beat Germany!
The league’s Japanese contingent felled Hansi Flicke’s men yesterday in another huge upset, while Spain crush Costa Rica. Dotun, Andy and Nicky Bandini provide the European perspective on it all in our first World Cup edition of On The Continent!
What’s wrong with Germany’s mentality? Can Spain’s kids carry them all the way? And why are France better with Olivier Giroud than Karim Benzema?
