1-1 against Spain. The World Cup hope dies last!
Niclas Füllkrug scores our goal. Does that mean that the striker will also start in the decisive game against Costa Rica (Thursday, 8 p.m.)?
ZDF expert Sandro Wagner therefore makes a tough DFB forecast!

He explains: “We won’t see an international match without Niclas Füllkrug any time soon!”
Füllkrug counters: “Greetings, Sandro. I still know him, my fellow striker, who knows about football and that’s why I’m happy about it.”
The scorer on the game: “Of course we took more risks, we had to and wanted to. Then we rightly scored the goal, which was deserved given the way the game went. We could have secured the depth better at the back. Now we’re trailing by a point against a very good team. We talked about the balance sheets beforehand and today we at least got a draw.”
What are the other players saying?
Ilkay Gundogan (32) explains at Magenta: “It was neat. One can live with that. Of course it was very close that we took the lead in the first half. The VAR threw a spanner in the works for us. We knew that the Spaniards might be a bit superior to us. We had a clear idea of how we wanted to defend and did well for long stretches. In the end we had chances to score. So we can live with the point today.”
National coach Hansi Flick (57): “Like me, the team fought unconditionally. But we have only taken one step. It’s gigantic what the team has achieved. I’m really proud too! We have warriors on the court who play with heart. If we take this momentum with us and get a little more self-confidence, a lot can be possible.”

Captain Manuel Neuer (36): “Everything was difficult against the Spaniards who were in a good mood. But we accepted this fight and allowed little. Big compliments to the defense and the whole association. After the 0-1 draw, we didn’t bury our heads in the sand and kept believing in ourselves. The important thing is: We are still alive! I believe we are there now. (…) We don’t have to calculate because we have our game, our task. And we’re going to throw everything in there. We must fulfill these three points and our duty.”
Thomas Mueller (33): “The 1:1 feels good in itself. You also have to suffer against Spain. It was an energetic performance, playfully not always the fine blade. But we are still in a position where we can reach the round of 16.”
Thilo Kehrer (26): “We played very courageously, athletically with a lot of intensity. We could have played one or two chances more calmly. We’re a very, very good team when it comes to pressing, but we can be even calmer when we win the ball. Then the goal chances are even clearer. We put in a good performance, but we still have room for improvement.”
Leon Goretzka (27): “There were 11 players on the pitch today ready to tear themselves apart. I think the most important realization has to be that this is the only way it can work.”
