Yep, garbage tactics by Martinez, why try and dribble into the goal when you have such a height advantage and crossers like de Bruyne?
Day 19: Brazil vs Mexico and Belgium vs Japan
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Japan play good football..
Japan nearly in there.
Cracking game.
Cracking game.
Japan taking the game to Belgium. I don't think Martinez anticipated this.
Japan really should have scored there. They just need to hold their nerve and concentrate.
Kagawa looks a level above everyone else on that pitch
Japan looks gassed, not sure they’ll last through extra time.
Fecking annoying that we never managed to make Kagawa work here, what a player he is on his day.
We still love you manDid not realise that was offensiveApologies.
Do as I say folks, not as I do!
I still have a soft spot for shinji
Kagawa has neen brilliant, and Japan have played very well.
This is the Kagawa we all hoped to see for us.
Yep
How many times has Fellaini came off the bench and won us games? You lot can't face the fact that he's an effective plan B and capable of changing a game. Nobody is calling him technically amazing or saying he's somebody we should be holding onto at all costs but he's a very good squad player to have and you're kidding yourself if you think different.Yes, this impact which includes a headed goal against a Japanese defense he's towering over physically completely negates most of the average shite he's served up this season and in general for us
I miss evil Kagawa
Great saves!
Got to score Rom. Got to score mate
The Moyes tactic working well vs Japan. Cross and it's dangerous.
Great double save
Chaldli and then Lukaku should be doing better
Keeper did okay there.
He was a victim of Fergie going.
On the contrary, I’ve got a hard one for him
So true, individually they are inferior, but as a team they play well.
Belgium are going to break Japanese hearts here.
holy crap....what keeping.
Looks like prime de Bruyne basically while KdB today looks like the kagawa we saw at United
The goal has corners you know.
Lukaku should have buried that in the corner
The skill of Lukaku then .... not easy to avoid either corner of the goal and perfectly pick out the goalie?
Once?
I really don't feel Belgium deserve this. I will be gutted for them if they don't make it.
Japan's GK is funny - makes even normal dives look godly
Lukaku really should score there. Not having a great game.
Nowhere near consistent enough. Blows hot and cold way too much for me.
Lukaku is average in the air. No direction whatsoever
Chadli's done much better than Carrasco since coming on. Like, significantly better
Everyone salivating in front of their tv at those juicy kissable lips from big man Luuk.
Romelu needs to have a chat with Firmino.
Ninjy skills from that keeper
This keeper used to play for Dundee United.
