I want Japan to win.

 

Partly because they have one of our most beloved ever players.

 

Mostly to stop the spaffing over Belgium.

 

BBC pundits calling Belgium the Harlem Globetrotters earlier.

 

 

 

 

Think what he said was haarlem globetrotters. They've all been for a drink in Amsterdam.

[Shane]

Japan need some more runners behind Belgiums defence. 

 

Both Kagawa and Osako want the ball to feet.

[Kitchandro]

Another big name team looking poor. Belgium don’t really have any tactics do they.

[Dr Marco]

COME ON JAPAN!

OKAZAKI GET IN !

[StanSP]

did anyone hear Keown earlier saying someone should have got in at the front post from a scuffed Kompany shot that went directly out of play right in front of him  

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Come on ?? 

[Finnegan]

Oh Osako you donkey, that was the moment. 

[Vacamion]

 

"I'm wearing my BBC trousers"

 

"He twists and turns, doesn't he. Like an eel"

 

Martin Known is Alan Partridge, isn't he?

I just heard him say "It's so hot here I'm sweating - I don't usually sweat" 

 

Twat

[Finnegan]

Would have loved Inui here. Good signing for Betis tbf.

Half time.

 

Globetrotters 0 - Raffle Winners 0

 

Come on Japan, let's have a crap house win on penalties.

Look who is their manager, going to take individual brilliance to get through this one... 

[Nalis]

Danny Murphy and Martin Keown are a bit like the commentating versions of Slimani and Musa. When one was in action, the other appears so both better. When the roles reverse you then realise they are as equally inept as each other.

[Guest MattP]

Shinji to score second half right in front of the Okazaki banner behind the goal.

[Izzy]

I know Klinsman's German, but he's a bit of a legend. Seems like a top bloke to me..

[fazzyfox]

From the depths of the fazzyfox beer fridge comes this appropriate beauty saved from a christmas "beers of the world" gift pack. I'm well authentic, hope no one's guzzling Belgian beer tonight. We're doing well, just need to nick a goal and then park the Rickshaw. If anyone can dig in and show workrate it's these guys. C'mon Shinji's mates!

Takes a braver man than me to have a few Belgian strength beers on a Monday night.

Ffs, out of reps by 7.50pm 

Hello gin my old friend, I've come to talk to you again.

That is a quite brilliant summary. I have no reps left but I wish I had.

I thought it was a bit rich asking Klinsmann about cheating, because, for all his talent, he was a diving cheat when he played.

[Max Wall]

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Tuna]

Brilliant, go Japan!

[Vacamion]

 

WHAT A THROUGHBALL.

[foxes_rule1978]
