Hi Podfans, Max here. Barry is here too. Hello.

Football Weekly is supported by Sainsbury's. Sainsbury's is teaming up with comic relief this Christmas to help nourish the nation and tackle food poverty.

They're encouraging customers to become super secret centers by donating to comic relief in store and online.

And what's more, Sainsbury's are matching your donations to comic relief up to the value of £1.5 million.

That's great for a generous.

I know it should be a secret, but what would you get me if it was a secret center?

Well, I think I'd kill two birds with one stone, Max. I'd buy you a copy of Inverting the Pyramid.

I'd wrap that up, give it to you, but you know, inverting the Pyramid by our friend, Jonathan Wilson, then I would keep the receipt and I would put that in a card and it would send it to him.

And I suspect he would get more joy out of the fact that he's going to make a couple of pounds out of me than you would from having to find a space for that on your shelf to gather dust while it sits there unread.

I did get to pay $171. So anyway, as I was saying, be a super secret center with Sainsbury's by rounding up your bill or gifting key food items.

In doing so, you can help provide meals and support for those who need it most now and in the future.

Donate install or online for full terms and charity details. Go to sainsbury's.co.uk forward slash nourish hyphen the hyphen nation.

Happy Christmas. Say happy Christmas, Barry.

Happy Christmas, Barry.

Hello and welcome to Guardian Football Weekly. One Earth is happening. Where do we start with that evening of modra entertainment?

As Juan Pablo Vargas bundled the ball home in the 70th minute, both Spain and Germany were going out of the world cup to Japan and Costa Rica, Costa Rica who'd lost their opening game 7-0 and only had one shot on target.

In their second game, in the end, Germany turned it around to save Spain, but Lewis and Recazeman didn't return the favour. Did they even want to?

It looked like they were trying, perhaps not helpful leather. Japan turned it around in three second half minutes, the tightest of bar checks.

Let's all talk spheres, discs and planes, but what an achievement to get through this group. Germany out in the group stage for the second world cup in a row.

All of that happened after Belgium had crashed out to the tiring Croatia, poor Ramella Lukaku. He couldn't even get one to go in off his backside.

Meanwhile, an historic day for Morocco. We'll do all that, enjoy Haramaguay in the Garnet and Parliament and keep running with the World Cup period drama.
