Certainly feels more like how many not if for Belgium here but the longer it goes 0-0 the more the nerves will rattle
I’ve started reading klunk’s posts in the voice of Alan Hansen.
not an insult btw. I love a bit of Alan. 🙂
So half time and Japan had a great couple of chances to get balls in the box, anyone backing Japan yet?
Could have been a bit embarrassing for Courtois.
Japan are having a proper go! Could we have another upset on the cards?
And on the subject of commentaries I’m really enjoying Dion Dublin’s on Five Live. He’s hilarious! 😃
He’s the polar opposite of misery-guts Lawrenson
Could we have another upset on the cards?
How many cards do Japan need?
Lovin' Gary asking Jürgen if players look back on these Neymar style videos and feel embarrassed
Well Chris Sutton was being fairly blunt earlier but had Belgium down as bottlers 😉
Cmon Japan! (Have £5 on them to win this match)
BOOM!!!!
That how to finish.
It's coming home I tell thee
In other news
Germany Spain Portugal Argentina....Belgium???
That’s hilarious ^^ 😜🔥
Japan 2-0 up and that’s awesome.
They’re skinning the Belgium defence with those long diagonal balls to get in behind them! How many times now?
I know it happened a while ago now (24 hours is long time on the internet ) but I love this
what a spawny goal
Good come back another cracker of a game.
Arse
arse indeed
I mean, I like beer and I like sushi, so I don't really mind....... but COME ON JAPAN!!
Pants
Yet another great game!
Mugged!
Guess who's glad they cashed-out at 2-1 🙂
Oh FFS
Sad but fair result.
Release Godzilla!
Wowzers!
What a bloody game?!! Real shame for Japan.
Harsh.
What a game.
Ah, the naivety to be throwing a corner into the middle for a giant like Courtois to gather.
But what a great goal, what a dummy by Lukaku when his instinct must be to take the chance on himself.
Great Game, far too much of an attacking formation for Belgium, thought they were Barcelona playing at the Camp Nou, Witzel looks off the pace and the wing backs are weak defensively especially Carasco (sp?) Brave Effort from Japan.
,
Missed the first half & part of the second completely and was gobsmacked to see the score at 2-0 when I switched the tv on ..
End to end stuff .. Japan were never outclassed and deserve real credit for the way they played .
The game turned when Chadli & Fellani came on ..and the goal to finish Japan off was perfect in its execution ..
10/10.
Big game tonight, so hoping we can put in a great performance and put Colombia away in 90mins. Unfortunately though we are England, so expecting drama and lots of shouting at the telly!
Its England and theres actually a (probably misguided) sense of optimism, so its pretty obvious whats about to happen
Its going to extra time after they equalise in the 94th minute, then we'll lose on penalties when Raheem Sterling blasts one into row Z
I expect to be watching from behind the sofa while doing a lot of swearing. Curse you Gareth Southgate for replacing my jaded cynicism about the national team with some waistcoat-wearing hope
It's the hope etc...
Contemplating whether or not to go for a ride instead. My wife has already instructed me not to get too sweary because apparently it frightens the children. 🙂
Sad to see Japan out, after an heroic effort early on they seemed to succumb to the paced efforts of the Belgians.
Enjoyable none the less.
Tonights game will be “interesting” but I predict we’ll be ooot.
Cracking game, probably the best half of football I've seen so far this WC! Real shame to see Japan go out, they played so well! I am actually optimistic about tonight as Columbia have not been particularly impressive so far.
metro trolling the engand team ?
japanese changing rooms after the match
🙂
Hey you know what ?
Andy Murray didn't play Wimbledon in 1966 !!
It's coming home
Felt for the Japanese last night, but the Belgium team were too strong, especially when Bobby put on Mr Hair n Elbows.
Wonder if that fluke goal is now their luck used up? Still think Brazil will have them in the quarter final, & whoever wins the France Brazil semi will win the trophy.
Not sure who's going to win the first game today - hoping it goes to extra time & pens, so that if we do somehow win tonight their nicely tired.
No matter what happens tonight, I think I've seen enough in this team to warrant hope going forward & that Gareth Southgate has done a fantastic job & shouldn't be sacked, especially considering he didn't want it at first. When he was appointed it seemed like the easy safe decision.
It's football madness here today in Northern Sweden. leaving work at 3pm and will be getting lagom #tankedup with the Swedish #ladsladslads .. I hope they win so much, then we can meet them in the quarters after we crush Colombia. Only fly in the ointment is the mother in law is on her way to visit us. Can't have it all.
As an Arsenal fan I am hoping that Captain Flappy (Ospina) has a bad day at the office. He often does. The way the draw has opened up I'm so so hopeful of us going through. Therefore we wont of course but hey ho!
