Following two dismal World Cup performances in a row, there is a sense that Spain is building again under Luis Enrique. In turn, he has introduced a more straightforward sportsbook odds style. Enrique’s side steadily improved in the Nations League, drawing Portugal and the Czech Republic. Before beating Switzerland and the Czechs to take control of their group. The main issue for the 2010 winners is the lack of a top-class striker. But the potential of the new generation led by Pedri and Gavi is clear.
Costa Rica got a priceless third-minute goal in their playoff against New Zealand from the former Arsenal forward Joel Campbell. That goal was enough to secure their place in Qatar. After missing out to the US on goal difference during qualifying. A traditionally stingy defense has helped Costa Rica win nine of 10 matches since last November. But it will have its hands full trying to contain Germany and Spain in Group E.

The transition between generations is being cleverly managed. Now they are producing the kind of slick football that largely went missing at Euro 2020. Germany’s destruction of Italy suggested things are coming together.
Of course, the last World Cup was a major embarrassment for Germany. Their loss to South Korea resulted in a first round exit for the first time in 80 years. Namely, Joachim Low, who had struggled to rejuvenate his squad, probably should have left then. But Low hung around for a disappointing Euros. Since Hansi Flick replaced him, Germany has excelled.
The surprise 3-0 defeat by Tunisia in Tuesday’s Kirin Cup final was a worrying sign for Japan. Following a run of eight wins from their previous ten matches. But Hajime Moriyasu’s side showed what they are capable of in an impressive 4-1 win over Ghana and the narrow loss to Brazil.
