[Football] Belgium v Japan

[Saunders]

They were never going to win if it went to extra time imo, so I don’t blame them for trying to score from the corner. They were dead on their feet from all the running.

Agree all the pressing took its toll and they nearly scored just before the corner going for it.

 

[Gabbafella]

Is Belgium v Brazil really that much of a game? On paper yes, but Brazil have been boring as shit to watch so far. I hope I'm wrong but I can see a snooze fest

The bookies must be having a field day during this world cup.

Not on that game for Bet365 and Paddy Power - they have had to pay out twice.

Japan need to get out and study the book of shutting up shop and wasting time.

 

[del strangefish]

Japan never feigned injury, held people in the box or appealed for VAR.
They will also learn how to ruin the game soon.

 

[Gabbafella]

Small, but nippy.

Well that's a hilarious racist comment, well done.

Totally agree, 5 in the box from the stoppage time corner, no one blocking Coutois to stop the throw for the counter attack.
You won't find that in CH's playbook

Sizest surely?

Brazil are going to destroy Belgium.

I'm not so sure.

Or any winning team's.

Kamikaze dimness, you couldn't make it up.

why is that K?

 

[KZNSeagull]

why is that K?

They both payout as a winner when a team goes 2 up. So they paid out for Japan, then again for Belgium.

Fair play to Robbie Martinez, takes a lot of grief but got it spot on after they went behind. Charlie is some player, going to go for big money from West Brom.

And to think Japan could have had us.

Instead of Harry Kane, it's hara-kiri.

 

[Dick Head]

Did Japan make up for the way they played against Poland?

 

[Weststander]

Fair play to Robbie Martinez, takes a lot of grief but got it spot on after they went behind. Charlie is some player, going to go for big money from West Brom.

He's been handed the most gifted international squad on the planet at the moment. Before a WC ball was kicked, it was said by all football experts that they have an embarrassment of riches playing for big clubs across Europe.

He's lucky to have the job.

Err....did you see the Poland game ?

Japan deserved to go out after that.

Ah. Understood,

 

[Kosh]

I’d like us to sign a Japanese player, good ball skills and very cool under pressure. Being too small is the only downside

Kagawa is about the best player i’ve seen on the ball at this WC. A visual joy of advanced play making with lashings of Pirlo like assurance, and this in spite of his lack of so called height.

I saw honour is his downfall.

I’d take him over any tall player, any day of the week, even on a miserable Sunday in a static caravan in Skegness.

That aside, I have a wholly rational dislike of this Belgium team, and what’s more I can even put my finger on why... that, alas, shall remain hidden betwixt the controversial lines... I cackle however, as rather beautifully I sense Brazil will deal out the death tarot card when they pay the piper to call the tune in a few days time.

Deep Purple

Made in Japan.

Was hoping we would go for Chadli but assume price now gone up
