As exciting as that might be I would prefer a Spanish win.
Spain vs Germany

Both teams set up not to lose so that they both have a chance of getting through.

I played rugby decades before a head-injury protocol was dreamed of.ah used to play rugby and stayed on the pitch when i should not of .. it a mind set
not slagging football of to much for this game , Plenty of good challenges and tactics on show
I wonder to this day if there's stuff my brain should be able to do, and is manifestly hopeless at. Still, what you don't know, you don't miss, eh?

I played rugby in school when my parents decided is would be good for me to move to North Wales in my late teens. I was told by the PE teacher that I would be a prop forward.
In the first scrum I was in, I broke from the scrum, picked up the ball and ran and put it over the line.
The next minute the PE teacher was barking in my face, spit coming out of his mouth and all the other kids were looking at me like I was some sort of loon.
"You're not supposed to do that you Scouse tit"
"But Sir I thought the idea of this game was you're supposed to get the ball over the line?"
"Don't argue with me sunshine"
"Should I have kicked it in the goal?" I asked
"Get changed Weed"
the following week I was on the trampoline with the girls and the arty types. That was when I fell in love with PE.

fair enough for all i can say about rugby ..
must admit the most hurt i ever got at school from PE was early 90's and the lack of health and safety regarding Trampolining
tried to do a back flip and it went slight wrong got concussed and threw up all over the back seat of the mothers Cortina...

The first time I played rugby, I had just moved to a rugby school from a football school. Someone ran past me with the ball, so I tripped him up.
Oh, the horror!
I was called a football yobbo, all sorts of things. I just thought it was funny. I mean, I stopped him. Wasn't that what I was meant to do?
(i ended up captain of the first team two years later. Being five foot ten at 12 years old was a bit of an advantage.)
Never forgave my parents for sending me to a rugby school though.

similarly just at first being a beast of kid but had 2 stages of rugby first from the folks , mother pulled me out due to see a kid lifted in a helicopter at a training ground
and then me being unsuited to football at school and the school being beside the same ground

I fell over at school and fractured my skull. My mother walked me home. I collapsed when she was slapping my arse over something or other a few days later. I was taken to hospital in a Ford Zephyr taxi. You can still feel the crack, it goes up my forehead and about two inches towards the back of my head.

This is evolving into a major thread derail isn't it?
My younger brother, at the same school a few years later, was injured playing a rugby match against another school.
School nurse told him to stop being a wuss and get on with game. My dad was there and stepped in and took him to hospital. Fractured leg.
At family gatherings, the little bugger still tells the story, about how I had to hold a milk bottle for him to piss in while he was horizontal in a cast.

When I moved to my final secondary school in my fifth year it was a rugby school not a football one, though I had played a bit before in my first and second years (moved twice in secondary); they also did field hockey which I'd never played and the other lads delighted in telling me how a boy had died getting hit on the temple the previous year, which was a true story. Wasn't much cop at it but since I liked hurling/shinty from reading old Irish legends didn't mind it either as seemed similar, plus tactics quite like football movement wise.

Tried out for London Irish kids when I was about 8 or 9. I was a fat kid so they put me in the scrum front row during the first game. After receiving 2 uppercuts in a row and basically staggering around on the pitch disorientated, the coach shouted at me and I just walked off mid-game.
Then I moved schools at 12/13 after a nasty bit of bullying (still a fat kid), and in my first PE lesson with my new classmates I accidentally broke the hand of the most popular kid in school playing hockey (my stick slid up and caught him). The bullying resumed shortly thereafter.
It was around this time we realised I was probably better off avoiding team or contact sports and my dad took me golfing instead
