Colombia vs Japan match thread

[kingfox]

Hard group to call is Group H...

 

Colombia were a good watch in the last World Cup, they trounced Japan 4-1 in the Group Stage back then.

 

As for a Japan wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't start though. 

[Nalis]

Comfortable 2-0 Colombia win

[The Doctor]

Shinji out injured apparently. No Shinji no party

[Bert]

First game of the tournament I'll not be able to watch as it's a week of working lates for me. Should see a Colombia win here.

I think I am more excited to see the Columbian women in the crowd  

[Nick]

Okazaki on the bench ?

[Detroit Blues]

James Rodriguez out, huge blow for Colombia. It may not cost them against Japan, but they are going to miss him if he cannot play against Senegal or Poland.

[kingfox]

Ooo this has escalated quickly.

[Suzie the Fox]

I think that was a Peno  

[BirminghamFox]

What a start!

[ScouseFox]

well this is fun 

[Bugg]

Carlos Sanchez is such a shithouse

[Ian Nacho]

What was he thinking

 

[Stinkenzo]

I love the commentators term "kicker waits for the keeper to dive" when he takes the penalty

 

Does that shit seriously happen? You must have no more than like 0.2 seconds to take all that in and then decide where you're going to place it. I don't believe any player runs up to take a penalty not knowing what hes going to do with it

[Nick]

Go on Japan!

[TiffToff88]

Surprisingly entertaining game so far!

I think the very best can. That's why some players just casually put it to the opposite side the keeper dives, because they have the ability to read where the keeper is going to dive a split second before they hit it. I would trip over my own feet if I tried that.

Cuadrado taken off (!)  Pekerman the Tinkerman ...
