[Football] Japan 2 - 0 USA (Mitoma goal)

[US Seagull]

Didn't see the game (because I forgot it was on so early), but apparently the second goal came from our own Kaoru Mitoma.

So, a silver-lining for me.

Tweet of the goal, which may or may not be available outside the US. I'll see if I can find a better video later:

Awful defending. But an exciting player who is excellent at running at players.

Fantastic goal, I hope DZB can make the most of him.

Bit concerned about this ‘’he’s pulled blah blah in an awkward position’’

I think our new manager will absolutely love the way Mitoma plays,and I think he'll start a game much sooner than he would of if that glory hunter was still manager,the slight delay using the USA dive in defender to place the ball in the net was excellent, doesn't really matter how bad the defending was letting him waltz into the box,that last bit was quality.

I watched the whole game. America are shit but that was a great finish. I love those ones that curl around the keeper’s reach and slot into the bottom corner.

And also use the defender as a screen to impede the GK's vision.

So do we all.

Apart from the bitterness, I don't think that'll make the slightest difference either way.
