If Spain wins against Japan, they will advance as group winner. For Japan, though, a draw may not be sufficient if the outcomes are not in their favor. Spain is considerably superior to Germany right now. Plus Japan's conflicting results in their opening two group matches make them somewhat of an unknown quantity heading into Thursday's clash. But to stay in the game, Japan will need to perform at their highest level. The hardworking side will use a similar approach to the one they used to great effect against Germany. This will be a under 2.75 match.

如果西班牙战胜日本，他们将以小组第一的身份出线。不过，对日本来说，如果结果对他们不利，一场平局可能还不够。西班牙现在比德国强得多。再加上日本队在小组赛前两场比赛中相互矛盾的结果，使得他们在周四的比赛中多少有些不为人知。但要想留在比赛中，日本需要拿出最高水平的表现。勤奋的一方将使用类似的方法，他们曾经对德国产生了巨大的影响。这将是一场低于2.75的比赛。
