There's something wrong with football when you can't rely on the Germans

A years contract extension then punt them back out on a season long loan?

If Uruguay get anything against Spain, then a return to Boston to play Germany can happen. Spain win, and the only possibility if we do reach the last 32 is Mexico. We need four of six scenarios below to go our way. Spain beat Uruguay (or draw if you're desperate to go back to Boston), but then you now need four from five below to happen. Egypt to beat Iran Iraq to avoid defeat to Senegal Ghana to beat Croatia by at least three goals Austria to beat Algeria by at least two goals Uzbekistan to avoid defeat to DR Congo

The fact that Turkey, bottom of their group, are out .... whilst having equal or better points/goal difference than some 'still in the hunt' illustrates what a shit system the 3rd place scramble is. It's bad enough having to, uncharacteristically, cheer on bigger sides against the diddy teams in the hope of our own diddy team's survival, but holy fuck!
