  • 5' - Joshua Kimmich has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 20' - It looks like no one’s ball. Germany is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
