FIFA World Cup 2022: What Argentina and Germany need to do to qualify for Round of 16

This time, in Qatar, the two former champions find themselves still waiting to qualify for the Round of 16, with just one round of matches left to play. While Argentina, thanks to a 2-0 win vs Mexico, managed to get their campaign back on track, despite a big stutter in their opening game, four time champions Germany are struggling big time. Dieter Flick's team are currently in the last spot in Group E, behind Spain, Japan and Costa Rica.

The Germans were expected to comfortably be in the top two of this group, but are yet to win a match after two outings. Incidentally, in Russia 2018, Germany, who were the defending champions, had finished last in their group. Germany so far in Qatar 2022:Germany were defeated 2-1 by Japan in what was one of the bigger upsets of the World Cup.

They were then held 1-1 by 2010 champions, Spain. That has left them with just 1 point after 2 games and with a dismal goal difference of -1. Next up for Germany:Germany play their last game vs Costa Rica on Saturday morning (12:30 AM IST).

And this will of course be a do or die match for the 4 time champions and the joint second most successful team in the history of the tournament. The other teams in Group E:This group has Spain currently as the toppers, with 4 points after 2 games - 1 win and 1 draw. In second place is Japan, with 3 points in 2 games - 1 win and 1 loss.

In third place is Costa Rica, who also have 3 points - 1 win and 1 loss and are behind Japan on goal difference. Spain hammered as many as 7 goals past the Costa Ricans, which has left them with a goal difference of -6. The last round of matches in this group will see Japan take on Spain, while Germany will play Costa Rica.
