  • 5' - Niklas Sule has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' - Japan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 15' - Germany is showing some good football. However, Germany are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' - Germany is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
