[Football] World Cup - Day Eight

[fly high]

Japan have totally messed this up.

 

[atomised]

how did that stay out what a run from mitoma

 

[dazzer6666]

Classic Mitoma there…….

 

[Pevenseagull]

Japan manager looking pretty foolish.

 

[jimhigham]

Bench Mitoma at your peril…

 

[Zeberdi]

great ball in by Mitoma but they should have scored on the rebound

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Mitoma not playing is nuts. Japan are a good team but we've seen enough of him to know that he should be starting.

Japan coach seems be in his Potter phase as regards Mitoma. Really needs to be more RDZ

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Mitoma standing there on a number of occasions and not passed to yet both times he has, he run straight into the box, what gives?

Coach is a closet Palace fan.

 

[Guinness Boy]

A shame for our man, but if they go out and he’s only played a handful of minutes we’ll have a fully fit Mitoma to launch at other PL teams. De Zerbi knows how to use him

 

[Stato]

You have to wonder what Japan's coach and players were missing. Two runs when they gave him the ball that made it obvious that he could get to the line with ease. Did they keep giving him the ball? Did any of their attacking players hang back for the pull back? That was bad.

Well at least til January when Chelsea raid their feeder club

 

[The Wizard]

Martinez clearly has his favourites, Hazard, great as he once was, shouldn’t be anywhere near the starting line up… he’s been poor/injured for a long while now

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Is it just me or did the goal take a deflection? The keeper’s getting a lot of stick for jumping too early but I’m sure it’s come off the defender and added a bit of loop and spin on the ball.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Gonda you flappy fingered fuckwit!

What have you done Japan? Have you thrown away qualification and given it to the Germans?!

Come on Bobby S and the Spaniards!

I imagine that went down like an incorrectly inclined bow. He’ll have to turn up at someone’s place with a chocolate cake after that

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Germany will qualify now even if they lost to Spain.

Japan will get hammered by Spain in the final game and Germany will go through on GD.

What a shame, they did the hard bit and a draw would have been enough.

 

[portslade seagull]

Well Mitoma created two great chances there and at least one should have resulted in a goal

Someones? At the very least he'll be going round every prefectural hq with an assortment of gifts. I'm expecting a 30 minute emotional live tv apology too.

 

[Weststander]

Paves the way for Germany do a Germany and edge their way to the final. The **** you can’t shake off your shoe.
