No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

Japan lucky to not be down 2 already.

日本頑張れー😖

good game this

US commentators greatly overstating Japan's performance in this match

They're not doing too badly all things considered but they're extremely likely to be destroyed on the counter.

yeah they're playing some tidy stuff but do look vulnerable on the counter

I blame that on Meola, it's too bad he got paired with JP Dellacamera who is generally very good imo xxp

good job closing Hazard down fast

Japanese keeper looks too shaken

very few fouls in this one

lol

"Japan giving Belgium all they can handle....and maybe more!".

uhh...no.

Inui = surprise package of the tournament though.

くーそー！！！

they're definitely playing respectable

Belgium the more powerful team in general but really proud of this japan team, they’re a little more methodical and organized

lol at bbc commentators complaining that someone *didn't* dive for a penalty

they are disrupting their rhythm very well, but a few times Belgium had some headscratching moments outside the box.

thankful this isn't a bunkerball game

the US commentators did that too! after Neymarfest2018 I'm glad.

friend of mine saying Belgium looks "scared". where tf is this take coming from

courtois's heart went pit-a-pat at least once

nobody can ever top this goalie error

ok bbc earnestly against diving again now

someone had a staff meeting I see

I wonder if Neymar flops like that in the sack

Looking at prices for Japan to win in 90 minutes

Tho i think Belgium will score in the next 10 and go on to boss it

yes!

are you kidding me

Love it

shambolic defending

NOW Belgium might be a lil shook

nice shot, tough angle there

oh man Hazard

what if bees, but with an on-board computer just set right

in keeping with earlier comments about the "Japanese footballers = worker bees" analogy, i wish that the commentators would credit Haraguchi with keeping his cool under extreme pressure as opposed to "running the channels, look at how willing he is" etc. might as well say "look at his little legs go!"

nb Martin Keown may well have said "look at his little legs go" at some point, i've been trying to blank it out

looool

holy shit

omg

holy shiiiiiiitttt

はは

日本先制🇯🇵

Love it

lmao belgium disease strikes again

god what a rip

holy shit!!!!

we about to see a shit-ton of through balls now

My boys ❤️

Betis feeling pretty smug rn about picking Inui up on a free, ill-judged post-tournament signings usually cost more than that

Japan's calm and deadly accurate passing is something awesome here
