Japan and KSA are clearly far superior opposition to the drivel England and France faced.
That’s 3 shocking pieces of defending there. Sule, Shlotterbeck and Neuer.
Lot of Japanese players also play there
You missed out one of the best….Ronaldo sacked!
The 2 Japanese goal scorers play there!Lot of Japanese players also play there
Where are the twats calling for asian teams to be culled from future world cups ? 
This World Cup man, craziness
I know but it's an (imperfect) indicator of past performance. It's hard for me to say the team with the most expensive players is not among the favorites.
They are, but still, just seems like an excuse to be honest. Still early though, let’s see how it pans out.
Wish Japan players celeberate like this in front of him

Germany started playing like they had a comfortable lead and blew it
Need balanced number of teams from different continents.
Both Iran and Australia are ranked higher than Japan/Saudi
Then why didn't they win the Asian Cup? Japan lost to Qatar.

Shocked that Japan are ranked that low
They have some pretty good players.I’m in crazy and happy mood now.
I mean this https://www.transfermarkt.com/2022-world-cup/teilnehmer/pokalwettbewerb/WM22England bought their players?
American commentary is so cheesy and crap.
Its like your in disney.

Great organised performance from Japan.
You'd be one of the few who would have had England as one of the favourites.
Shocked that Japan are ranked that low
I think its a bit of a false ranking tbh. Japan mostly play really low ranked teams in their cofederation so don't rack up the points.
When you expect Bayern but you get BVB
It's a one-off loss in the final. Japan are by far the best team in Asia
Yes Suntory’s Hibiki whisky is still highly sought after.

They aren't.
Germany missed a lot of chances before Japan scored, they were trashing Japan in the game, but didn't score, and they paid the price.
Could have happened the same to France yesterday if they kept missing chances like Mbappe did before France scored the 3rd, fortunately for the french Mbappe and Giroud buried their chances later, and killed all Australia's hope of a revival.
This is what happens when you create a lot but don't score against minnows, eventually one day you are gonna pay the price for not killing the game when you should.

Spain's attacking line-up is still so lacking...
No they aren’t. They didn’t finish top of their WC Qualifying group either.
Deserved.
Deserved for politicising the past 3 tournaments.
Just get smashed over and over again, until you maybe start focusing on playing football only.

Better than ITV and BBC at the moment. Every 5 minutes they repeat the same line about the world cup being controversial and the political tone having put people off.
Maybe if they'd STFU and focused on football during the actual match itself - that might not be the case.
yessssssss!! well deserved japan!
the level of contempt and hatred i've seen by germans against arabs this last week alone makes this result much sweeter!

Most bookies had them 2nd or 3rd before the tournament.
But they aren't because they lost. They didn't win the Asian Cup in 2015, either, so it has been quite a while since they have shown they are the best in Asia.
Europe typically brings along 13 strong teams, the chances two of them make the final and at least three make the semis are massive.
It all essentially boils down to: suspect Brazil vintage and grossly mismanaged Argentina. Other than that, it's not much different from what it has always been like, bar a minor hiccup in 2002.
So no, it isn't an era of European dominance but an uncharacteristically poor Argentina and Brazil. It happens to the best of them, like Italy.
Love it. You can't afford to not take your chances against a Japan team that looked a threat throughout. Germany aren't clinical enough and are another side lacking a striker.
