Wtf is with the replays while there’s a goal scoring chance!
ITV’s coverage is so shit. We just missed that penalty appeal to watch a slow mo of a Japanese fan going mad.
Iran: I’m just here for the lolz
The atmosphere is terrific now. Vamos Nippon one of the best footballing anthems
I'm scratching my head wondering what the feck he was trying to do. Looked like he tried to chest it as if it were a backpass
I know. Fecking stupid ITV.
I mean they hammered them for most of the game and should've scored 5, missed their chances and then Japan showed great heart and belief and turned it around out of nothing. It's the beauty of football... But a lot will depend on the last few minutes here and then the Spain game on Sunday!Showing zero reasons why they should be anybodys favourite.
At this rate they could be out of the competition next match
Asano’s touch is pretty beautiful.
quite soft but it could've been given
That's not ITV's fault to be fair - it'll be the same pictures around the world.
Don’t they just receive the universal FIFA coverage?
I say it every time. Every match I see him play always seems to consist of one big mistake.
Japan have been great.
Germany are so flaccid, same as Argentina. have to wonder if the mid-season world cup is taking its toll on the players in the big leagues. Or maybe they're both just crap.

Is it ITV or the feed given to them?
Saying that I still remember ITV missing Englands first (and only goal) vs USA years back. Or some other moments
What I love about watching Japan is their fan chants! They go nuts with the drums and Vamo Nippon!
That Rudiger run was the catalyst, classic manga trope
Don’t think it’s ITV, pretty sure the same feed is used by all broadcasters and directed by a single production team.
I wonder what Hummels is thinking watching this glorious defending from Schlotterbeck and Sülinho.
I doubt they have control of it.
I remember people saying this when Eriksen collapsed and there was an outrage about the camera not cutting away, even zooming in when players were forming a ring around him.
Although there was abysmal finishing Herr Flick read the game very badly
Decent chance we'll lose one of Spain or Germany if this stays as it is.
Topical
I love McCoist
My favourite co comm. Listen to him compared to Dixon.
It will be a worldwide feed by fifa arranged broadcasters.
The crazy thing is that Germany had many chances to go 2-0
Fecking 7 mins
Can see there being a late twist here.
7 minutes feels short now.
Really happy with this second half showing after the terrible first half from Japan. They have some really technical players in that squad
7 mins.. Boo..
Props to the Japanese fans in there. Rocking.
The anime protagonist was knocked down and the villain got overconfident. Seen it all before.
Expect many memes if they lose
I think Germany looks better than Argentina, much more youth and pace, but they are a bit all over the place defensively.
what are the Japan crowd singing? sounds a lot like "Viva Ronaldo"
Better in possession but wouldn't call it a battering personally.
Since the subs there's only been 1 side looking to win it
