'Catastrophic situation': ICU doctors in Germany alarmed over RSV cases’ spike, paediatric bed shortage

<p>FIFA World Cup 2022 edition is living up to expectations. With the group stage encounters set to end on Friday (December 02), the focus is now on the Round of 16. Before the next round kick-off, on Saturday (December 03), Japan stunned one and all to top their group after beating 2010 winners Spain in a riveting clash, at the&nbsp;Khalifa International Stadium, to win 2-1.</p>

<p>With this win, Japan not only confirmed a slot in Round of 16 but also ended as the toppers of Group E. In a group comprising two former champions in the form of Germany and Spain, the Japanese side have stunned one and all with their spirited display to beat both the heavyweights and enter the last 16. After beating Germany 2-1, the&nbsp;Samurai Blue lost 1-0 to Costa Rica and had to win versus Spain to progress ahead. For the second time in three matches in this edition, Japan made a comeback after being a goal down to emerge on top of a former World Cup winner.</p>

<p>Being 1-0 down in the first half, Japan struck twice but the second and final goa, from Ao Tanaka, made heads turn.&nbsp;Courtesy of many videos on social media platforms, many spotted that&nbsp;Kaoru Mitoma couldn't&nbsp;keep the ball inside the field of play before he passed it to Tanaka, who struck and gave his side a much-needed lead that proved to be decisive. <strong>Here's the video of the controversial goal:</strong></p>

WATCH: Japan's controversial goal vs Spain that led to Germany's FIFA World Cup elimination

The second match from Group E on Thursday, December 1st is between Germany and Costa Rica at Al Bayt Stadium - two teams that are battling for a spot in knockouts.

FIFA World Cup 2022: Germany face Costa Rica in must-win clash

<p>Germany and Costa Rica will square off against each other in an important group stage clash in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, on Friday (December 02). Both sides have not been at their best and can't afford any more slip-ups if they wish to proceed to the last 16. While the Germans opened their campaign with a shocking 2-0 loss at the hands of Japan, they were much better in their face-off versus Spain, ending in a 1-1 stalemate. On the other hand, Costa Rica were hammered by Spain, 7-0, before they beat the Japanese, 1-0, to open the group.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ahead of the match, Germany coach Hansi Flick spoke on his future amid Germany's slim chances and spoke at length on the upcoming clash in a news conference. He said, "I can confirm it (I will be staying on) from my side but I have a contract until 2024 and I look forward to the home Euros (in 2024) but it is a long time until then. We want to kill off the game early so as to pile pressure on the other group game. They (Costa Rica) will be defensive most likely. We need to do it and we have to have the attitude we showed against Spain."&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, "When you look at the table Costa Rica have a chance to reach the round of 16. A draw, and a win for Spain, is enough for them to advance. I expect from Costa Rica a defensive performance as they did it against Japan. We have to find solutions against that."</p>

<p>In terms of head-to-head, the Germans lead Costa Rica 1-0 courtesy of a 4-2 win over them in 2006. It is to be noted that Costa Rica have never defeated Germany on the international stage and will need to pull up its socks to trounce the Germans and create history.&nbsp;<strong>Here's everything you need to know about the clash:</strong></p>

Germany and Costa Rica will square off against each other in an important group stage clash in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, on Friday (December 02).

Germany and Costa Rica will square off against each other in an important group stage clash in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, on Friday (December 02). Both sides have not been at their best and can't afford any more slip-ups if they wish to proceed to the last 16. While the Germans opened their campaign with a shocking 2-0 loss at the hands of Japan, they were much better in their face-off versus Spain, ending in a 1-1 stalemate. On the other hand, Costa Rica were hammered by Spain, 7-0, before they beat the Japanese, 1-0, to open the group. Ahead of the match, Germany coach Hansi Flick spoke on his future amid Germany's slim chances and spoke at length on the upcoming clash in a news conference. He said, "I can confirm it (I will be staying on) from my side but I have a contract until 2024 and I look forward to the home Euros (in 2024) but it is a long time until then. We want to kill off the game early so as to pile pressure on the other group game. They (Costa Rica) will be defensive most likely. We need to do it and we have to have the attitude we showed against Spain." He added, "When you look at the table Costa Rica have a chance to reach the round of 16. A draw, and a win for Spain, is enough for them to advance. I expect from Costa Rica a defensive performance as they did it against Japan. We have to find solutions against that." In terms of head-to-head, the Germans lead Costa Rica 1-0 courtesy of a 4-2 win over them in 2006. It is to be noted that Costa Rica have never defeated Germany on the international stage and will need to pull up its socks to trounce the Germans and create history.

Spain and Germany play out a 1-1 draw. What does this result mean for Hansi Flick's side in World Cup?

<p>Germany and Spain locked horns in a Group E encounter on Sunday which ended all square after a pulsating 90 minutes. While the game was devoid of any controversy, the sidelines gave rise to another topic point after Qatari fans clapped back at the German football team and federation for its hypocrisy and woke gestures.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Qatari fans in the stands hit back at Germany by holding photos of former German international Mesut&nbsp;Özil. The photos were in a response to&nbsp;the German football team&nbsp;covering their mouths during the match against Japan in protest over the ban of ‘One love armbands’ by FIFA.&nbsp;</p>

FIFA World Cup 2022: Qatari fans clap back at Germany by recalling Mesut Özil

<p>Following their shocking 2-1 loss to Japan on Wednesday, Germany is in danger of suffering another humiliating group-stage exit at the World Cup, four years after they faced the same fate in Russia. FIFA's tenth-ranked Germany has only won two of their past nine international matches overall, and head coach Hansi Flick has acknowledged that his team is "under pressure" going into Sunday's crucial match against Spain. It would be game over for Hansi Flick's team if Germany lost today and Japan won their match against Costa Rica.</p>

<p>The fans will be looking for the players to stand up and restore some prestige for Germany after their dismal performance in the 2018 World Cup. They have a talented team at their disposal, and on their best day, they can defeat any team.</p>

<h2><strong>Spain vs Germany head to head</strong></h2>

<p>The two teams have clashed 25 times, where Spain has bagged victory 8 times and the Germans 9 times. 8 matches played between Germany and Spain ended in a draw. During these matches, Spain has netted 29 goals, while Germany has scored 28 goals.</p>

<h2><strong>Spain vs Germany match prediction</strong></h2>

<p>Spain has had some of its best performances under Enrique against teams that try to pressure them, which has allowed La Roja to showcase both the strength of their pushing and passing. Germany might purposely allow Spain to win the ball fight before using the plethora of quick attackers at Flick's disposal to plough into the space created by Spain's daring approach.</p>

<p><strong>Prediction</strong>: Spain-Germany will end up drawing; Spain 2-2 Germany</p>

450 Celtic coins worth millions of euros stolen from Germany museum in high security zone

<p>The German defence ministry on Monday (November 21) said that it has offered Poland to deploy anti-aircraft missile systems. The development has come just a week after deadly rocket strike close to Poland's border with Ukraine.</p>

<p>"We have offered to support Poland with (the) securing of its airspace with our Eurofighter (jets) and Patriot air-defence systems," Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht said in an interview with the Rheinische Post daily.</p>

<p>Last week, two people in Polish village of Przewodow were killed due to a missile. The village is just six kilometres (four miles) from Ukrainian border.</p>

<p>Warsaw and NATO have said the explosion was likely caused by a Ukrainian air-defence rocket&nbsp;launched to intercept a Russian barrage, but that Moscow was ultimately to blame because it started the conflict.</p>

<p>"I welcomed the German proposal with satisfaction," said Polish Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak on Twitter.</p>

<p>"In my telephone conversation with the German side today, I will propose that the system be stationed close to the border with Ukraine," he said.</p>

<p>German Patriot anti-aircraft units are already deployed in Slovakia, with Lambrecht saying Berlin was seeking to keep them there for longer, "until the end of 2023 and potentially even beyond".</p>

<p>"It is our utmost responsibility that NATO does not become a participant in this conflict," while strengthening its air defences, she said.</p>
