[Long Ball Larry]

Japanese man in here exclaimed “we won” after the second goal.

he got up about 15 minutes later, smiled at me and walked out.  I feel sorry for him.

 

[Waingro]

 

[General Malaise]

How do people with heart conditions watch this sport?

 

[CGRdrJoe]

He’s elbows and Afros, elbows and Afros

[The Gator]

GOAT

 

[Jobber]

Maybe they should have parked the bus.

 

[NewlyRetired]

my heart is pounding and I could not have any less invested in this game or the two teams playing....

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Must remember to leave work to  and watch WC. Damnit looks like another good one.

 

[Spartans Rule]

How are you not rooting for Japan here...would be an awesome story.

I know Belgium’s a favorite this year, but in the grand scheme they’re the more interesting story IMO.

It’s a tiny country that almost dissolved and still could at some point. Even if stays together, it will probably never have a generation of talent like this again. This is their one shot, ever.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Jesus

Played in the earlier game.

 

[The Gator]

Jesus

He's the one not scoring for Brazil 

 

[bryhamm]

 

[nirad3]

well that lead didn't last long

 

[Major]

Such a boring sport.  Don't understand how people can watch these low scoring matches.

Love it.

Japan....what to do. Park bus or get aggressive?

Tora! Tora! Tora!

 

[gianmarco]

Japan 14 -- Belgium 14

And about to start the 4th qtr.

 

[Jaysus]

He's the one not scoring for Brazil 

but he fits the system!

 

[Ned]

Won’t be surprised to see this end 4-2 Belgium. 

 

[NewlyRetired]

The soccer gods are cruel.  They so rarely reward underdogs who attack.

 

[B Maverick]

WOW.  That was actually the first time I've seen him actually attack a cross and head it with authority over people.  Very nice goal indeed.  Good for him.

 

[Sinn Fein]

BTW - I think the Vertonghen goal pushes Spurs to a tie at the top of the Club scoring list.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Japan have looked shaky in the last 10 crosses, so of course you take a short corner. 

 

[Sinn Fein]

:honda:

 

[Jaysus]

I am printing that one a coffee mug with the  on the other side.

 

[GROOT]

I hope there isn't a Japanese player named  Wondolowski here. I'd sub him off.

 

[Sinn Fein]

I am printing that one a coffee mug with the  on the other side.

This is what you need on a mug

 

[NewlyRetired]

game of the tournament for me, at least in the knock out stage. This is fantastic.

 

[Zow]

Holy goalie!

 

[nirad3]

This is what you need on a mug

huh, didn't know kaepernick also played futbol.... 

 

[Worm]

Wow. Fun stuff

 

[Zow]

Are any of these Japanese players on a major team?

 

[CGRdrJoe]

I need more drinks stat

 

[NewlyRetired]

Jesus Belgium, just take it wide and cross it.  They are getting constant scoring chances with the ball in the air.

 

[TobiasFunke]

This Belgium-Japan match is like when you decide to check out some random band on a secondary stage and it's the best show of the festival.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Holy goalie!
