Not half as strange as saying their celebrations are strange.

Thats how it feels when a smaller football nation win against one of the big ones. You'll never know that feeling.
Exactly.

Hereford celebrated like they'd won the FA Cup when they downed Newcastle. Anyone think that was strange ?

You are right and wrong Mr Swansman, we celebrated like we had won the World Cup when we beat Germany in the Euros last year.

Did Mitoma play well when he came on
He did, yes.

I think it's a bit much to say *HE* changed the game, but it's certainly true that the group of substitutions made by Japan, which included our boy, turned the game round.

Bit of a strange celebration running on the pitch like they’ve won the World Cup itself but take nothing away from them, fantastic Japan
🇯🇵
I've seen that level of celebration before from Japan. When they beat South Africa in the 2015 Rugby World Cup at the Amex. Today, as then, we are ALL turning Japanese :clap:

Just had a ref on ITV saying for the WC there is a chip in the ball, so for offside it is known exactly when the ball is kicked. Then using “artificial intelligence” it is known within seconds if someone is offside or not, or at least the image is available to view.

Sounds all a bit bollocks to me, but is this correct? Particularly thinking about the players, and various bits of body that can be off/onside, how does the artificial intelligence deal with that in a few seconds?

Artificial Intelligence doesn't need to scratch its balls and twiddle its ears before making a calculation.....

Yes. I saw an article about that yesterday. Apparently the ball is full of sensors.

I assume being able to tell exactly when the ball is kicked makes it easier to sync with the video to find exactly the right moment to determine if a player is offside.

Is it overengineering the problem? Probably.
