How is football the winner there. Japan deserves that more than Belgium IMO
Day 19: Brazil vs Mexico and Belgium vs Japan
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Bollocks.
Conceding a counter in the 94th minute after an own corner, wow.
Best game of the tournament. Japan really went for it and deserved more.
Wow, very nice game
Great game, so unlucky Japan.
Poor Japan 
From great free kick to stupid corner kick, and there it comes.
Honda giveth, Honda taketh.
Honda giveth, Honda taketh.
Japan were so unlucky, absolutely should be treated as heroes on their way back home.
I won't change my prediction though, I don't rate this Belgium team at all and they are going to get a hiding off Brazil in the next round

Great 2nd half that was.
So all in all, Fellaini goal, Lukaku assist.
United progress to the quarter finals.

Japan too inexperienced in last minutes, going that far forward and risking such a counter in the last minute.
Heartbreaking but I'm sure they're proud of their team.

Japan should of really kept the ball in the corner then, so naive to whip it in there.
How many times will Alan Shearer say 'sensational' and 'magnificent'?
Hope Brazil destroy Belgium.
south korea out
japan out
it's all up to england

De Bruyne came alive for that aswell. Great acceleration and then picked out the right pass with the runner on the right.
Brazil vs Belgium gonna be lit.
Belgium v Brazil is a better match up in fairness
superb from Rom, dragged him all over the place
Man that was heartbreaking. Is Martinez a now considered a genius? Makes a couple of subs they both score.
Fantastic game. Been a great WC so far.
Ah the Japanese didn't deserve that. They at least deserved to go into overtime - and I still think they deserved the win as well.
No Belgium deserved the win, better team
Best world cup ever!
Feck off.
They committed too much for that corner.
Bah
Gutted for Japan, they deserved better.

Ok, dont say i didnt warn you.
Fantastic fightback from Belgium. Great subs by Martinez. Along with Spain-Portugal and France-Argentina one of the great games of the tournament.
yep already said he was pretty poor at them.
Feck this! Feck this!
Japan deserved to win Devastated
Japan deserved to win
DevastatedThat counter attack was fecking awesome. That's what football's all about really.
Pavard has already got that nailed
Belgium have to ditch the 3-5-2 to win the game I think. Go back to 4-2-3-1 and play vergonthen or Vermaelaen at left back.
And the conspiracy theorists thought it would be a easy game for Belgium 
Feel for Japan, but realistically Brazil would have destroyed them so a plucky defeat is as good a way to exit as any.
To be fair coming back from 0-2 is a brilliant job in itself.
I feel so bad for Japan.
Japan must now retire from football forever
Martinez the twat
Absolutely gutted for Japan. They played very well and caused a lot of trouble for Belgium and did not deserve to lose like this.
De Bryune’s face makes his shirt look green.
