I bet the wife is fuming with these teams for sending you to bed early

End of the hydration break, start of the 2nd quarter. 

 

Have to break it into quarters for the America audience 

It's not just hydration, it's the average Americans attention span 

[Corky]

Gravenbeerrrrrkkkk. Jon Champion going Scouse.

[Finnegan]

Donyell Malen doesn't deserve to be on a team managed by Ronald Koeman. Poor guy.

Am I the only one who had no idea Summerville played for the Dutch? 

Assumed he was from some exotic South or central American country. 

 

First time I've been disappointed with a game as I thought it would be decent. 

[JonnyZeroFox]

Japan need to push their line 10 yards higher and start being nastier without the ball. Not reckless… just less passive. The longer they sit off, the more this becomes exactly the kind of controlled, low risk game the Dutch would prefer

Same here .

 

Obviously made a big enough impression to get into the team too .

[Sunbury Fox]

Complete non event. Watching the Dutch knock it around endlessly going nowhere in front of a massed defence is probably indicative of what it will be like watching us under Martin in L1 next season.

Boring game not helped by ITV's dull commentators and unexciting pundits, even Roy Keane .

[JonnyZeroFox]

There it is, Japan have been poor 

[OntarioFox]

[PhillippaT]

*wakes up* Wow - someone scored?   It was the Netherlands? Oh. Boo.  

[KingsX]

So much for a well organized defense.  Japanese defender broke his line and played everyone onside.

I always think players should not chew gum due to choking hazard

[Super_horns]

Was just going to post this from the BBC which probably summed up the game .

“Virgil van Dijk completed 68 passes in the first half - the most on record (from 1966) by a Netherlands player in a World Cup first half.”

Now influenced it in a more positive way .

[Trav Le Bleu]

So they won't let Somali referee Omar Artan into the country, but will allow RVN, despite his terror crimes.

I also think spitting should be a yellow card due to it being a biohazard.

I'm not even joking.

[JonnyZeroFox]

well Japan decide to attack and score 

[MPH]

Lovely goal!

What happens when you just put a shot on net. Pay attention every team, shoot! Lol
