[Football] Belgium v Japan

[Easy 10]

So according to the commentator, thats the first time in the World Cup since England vs Germany in 1970 that a team has come back from 2-0 down to win.

Really ?

REALLY ??

Really ?

First time in the knockout stages - that sounds about right to me

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

Sad but true.
If only the rest of the footballing countries copied them instead of them having to adopt the same dirty tricks to get on,

Apart from a little episode in a previous game where they tried to pretend the ball didn't cross the line for a goal. Although that was mainly Kawashima (the GK) who is a bit shit. Sportsmanship is still really important here, less so to the Brits these days I feel. If we somehow cheated our way to lifting that cup I don't think anyone would really care that much.

Small, but nippy.

Casual racism, classy.

The England 2 Germany 3 game mentioned above was in the QF but that was after extra time.

This is the first time a side has come from 2 goals down to win inside 90 mins, during the knock-out phase, since 1966 and the QF between Portual and North Korea. The North Koreans led 3-0 (inside 25 mins) against Portugal only to lose 5-3.

I think Peru vs Bulgaria in the 1970 group stages had Bulgaria throw away a 2-0 lead.
