Group F: Netherlands, Japan, Tunisia, Sweden

Mccoist totally missing the fact that the Dutch player keeps Maeda on side by about 5 yards, and that it clearly hits Van De Ven on the other replay too...

well Japan decide to attack and score 

Agreed! You wonder why they're so risk adverse when they look that good when they go forward

Yay  A game of football finally broke out then?

I know. Shame  

[Parafox]

And to think in 1944 they were hammering wooden splinters under the fingernails of captured soldiers.

(Not the Dutch just to be clear).

Goals flying in now !

[The_77]

Oh look, Ruud Van Nistelrooy coaching someone on how to score a goal. Must be nice.

[Legend_in_blue]

We're only a few games in but the technique on some of these finishes has been top drawer so far.  A really entertaining start.  Makes a change to watch some decent football for once.

These two teams are going very deep into the comp

YOU DON'T NEED A HYDRATION BREAK IN A CLOSED STADIUM. 

 

Just killed the momentum that the game was in.

Debatable 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Cracking game.... because of 2 equal sides and Japanese gung ho spirit 

[Legend_in_blue]

If you had a choice between watching a hydration break, and watching Ayew on the pitch, which would you choose?

 

Some might argue they are one and the same.

C'mon mate. It's been as dull as my mother in law's conversations and she died 7 years ago.

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

I'm not even joking.

Agreed. Even worse is the nose thing. I remember my wife seeing this on a match on tv and she was disgusted. She said players should have a pocket and use a hankerchief.
