I dunno, Belgium was pressuring the whole game. I think Japan was right to keep trying to score. And Japan's goalie was great.Great game, but wow what a Japanese collapse.
You would think japan would learn that if you’re going to strike early, unexpectedly, you better be prepared for what comes later.
Damn good posting. Easily my favorite match thus far (which I never expected) in the most exciting WC of my lifetime.It’s far from over.
Pretty sure South Korea is out, fella.Son is now 6-6 in Final 16 from start bracket.
Disagree. When you're up 2-0, giving up 3 goals in 25 minutes is unacceptable. I get that it was fun, and I get that it was exciting. But it wasn't very effective.I dunno, Belgium was pressuring the whole game. I think Japan was right to keep trying to score. And Japan's goalie was great.
This game coulda had 7 goals easy.
Coach going to harikari?As mentioned earlier, Japan rightfully should have parked the bus to move on. But, how wonderful that they didn't, and we got to see the match this became.
@rwilliams1947: With Fellaini, Martinez introduced an elephant gun to a samurai sword fight. Effective, but not pretty.Brilliant!
Honestly, I can't imagine Belgium playing any other way - they will feel like they can win the WC. I think they can beat Brazil.Here's hoping Belgium play positively against Brazil. If Neymar can cut out the crap, that game could be great...

Allied POWs vs German National Team. Colombes Stadium. 1941.Best soccer game ever?
Well if they killed themselves before then the plane wouldn’t be necessary.So do these guys have to commit seppuku before they get on the plane or is that an out-dated practice?
You couldn't post this in 4 hours?####### PSG - forgot about them.
Chadli is still Spurs in spirit...
Stop it. If the USA were Japan in that match I'd have been so damn excited and enthralled.I don't really miss the USAMNT. At all.
Can we decline to take a spot in 2022?
The vision and balls to play that dummy in the 94th minute...hfsLukaku played about as well as he could without scoring. He was great off the ball and created tons of space for his teammates.
Yeah..How many #9s let that ball go?The vision and balls to play that dummy in the 94th minute...hfs
Jozy toes the ball into the upper deck on his first touch.Yeah..How many #9s let that ball go?![]()
For a throw-in...Jozy toes the ball into the upper deck on his first touch.
If Giorgio Chinaglia was alive and saw that dummy he'd die on the spot and then roll over in his grave.Jozy toes the ball into the upper deck on his first touch.
I forgot he had died.If Giorgio Chinaglia was alive and saw that dummy he'd die on the spot and then roll over in his grave.
We need and deserve a Ray Hudson call of that goal. Peak Raygasm!The vision and balls to play that dummy in the 94th minute...hfs
A heat-seeking missile with the eyes of a chameleon!We need and deserve a Ray Hudson call of that goal. Peak Raygasm!
