I'm a Yank, but half my family is Japanese. They'll be jumping up and down at this point. If we hold on to win, my grandma might even get drunk tonight.

All the smaller teams showing what you can do with a good system and organized tactics coming up against better individuals without a good system. After Belgium, France is probably the next worst managed side so could see them losing too.
Fellaini to come on and score a hat trick.
Should score that, Rom.
Should score that, Rom.
What a miss Lukaku!
Had to score that big man.
What a miss
You can see the influence of Zico in Japan.
I wasn't the one who used it, but yeah I didn't know as well. Never heard it used at all, as an insult or otherwise, here in the UK. You live and learn, I guess.
Oooh close from Lukaku
Oh dear Rom. Shocking miss.
Kaku should finish that
Oh Rom.....
You great fecking oaf!
Lukaku. 
rom, rom, rom...
Ouch.
Lukaku should have scored but couldn't even get it on target.
Do Belgium have a Plan B???
That shouldve been the 1-2
Lukaku 
Will never rate

It’s not necessarily derogatory, though. Sometimes it’s just used like ‘Brits’ (e.g. ‘pictures of Jap girls in synthesis’ on Bowie’s Japanophile Scary Monsters). I wouldn’t use it, in case it was misunderstood, but it doesn’t mean the speaker means it negatively.
Lukaku should have headed that in. No excuse.
Do we have any Japanese posters on the Caf?
Lukaku thought he was at Anfield, Stamford Bridge or Emirates there.
The De Bruyne tantrum if they lose is going to be great.
Ohhhhhh Rom......
I would laugh too if my office pool fantasy league team didn't have Lukaku as captain and De Bruyne, Vertonghen on it.
Shocking miss by lukaku simply has to score that
I say solid comparison as well. a knuckle ball is a pitch in baseball where there is essentially zero spin on the ball, subjecting it to very odd and unpredictable movements. the movements are very simular to the way a football moves when you strike it square w/ no spin.
Rom should've scored.
How one team with so many wc players can be that bad in must win games?
Belgium need to put Fellaini in there
You'll see him in a minute. He's hard to miss.
Best!! Maybe the most selfish who is more interested in getting the glory
Getting the sake out if Japan win this.
Baffling that they havent changed anything. The ball just keeps getting dropped into space on the wings all the time.
Fellaini Martinez is an idiot
Martinez is an idiotBelgium playing like its them leading 4:0 the hell
It's the reason it says JPN up in the scoreboard and not that! It's not a big thing outside of America, but it's definitely a thing stemming the war.
