Day 4: Morocco vs Croatia | Germany vs Japan | Spain vs Costa Rica | Belgium vs Canada

Why? They both got knocked out early last time out as well. European teams are massively overrated as a result of their "dominance".

The only reason they have been "dominant" is there are only two non-European teams that can win, one of them typically being grossly mismanaged, so chances are one of the European sides is hitting their sweetspot just in time.
Crazy as I think Germany and Spain are among the best sides in the tournament and 2 of my 3 favourites! But such is tournament football that missing your chances in one game like today might we'll feck you.
 
The first touch of the Japanese player who scored the 2nd was glorious.Neuer won’t like seeing the replay of that !
 
Damn, I reckon anybody other than Neuer and the Japan player gets that.
 
Excellent 2nd half tactics from Japan
 
This game properly turned on its axis.
 
P45 for Hansi feck in the morning?
 
Sam Matterface is the cringest person on the planet i'm sure
 
Germany have created plenty but I don’t think Flick made the right call in subbing off Gundogan and Musiala when they were at the heart of all the chances served up.

Correct. That's why I said Herr Flick read the game very badly
 
Why are you aiming shots at England? :lol:

:lol: :smirk: I meant nobody expected Croatia or England to get to the semi in 2018. Considering the quality of England entering this tournament you woudn't have expected them to get to the semi or final this year either but nobody looks that good. Even teams that have played well (like France/England) have looked pretty shaky at the back!

Logically you should come up with a conclusion that we all know. :wenger:
 
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?
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 :lol:
Don’t think it’s ITV, pretty sure the same feed is used by all broadcasters and directed by a single production team.
Fair dos.
 
Welll done Japan! That’s a tremendous result and well deserved.

Some crazy results in this World Cup.
