@theoldzealand I was scared for Japan too considering the height differences and the amount of set pieces they had to win, how do they compete against van dijk, van hecke, van de ven, well they did
@AlexDenton17 USA vs Paraguay
Australia vs Turkey
South Korea vs Czech
Qatar vs Switzerland
Mexico vs South Africa have been good imo.
Only Scotland game has been a bad game.
Japan good game, showed up in that second half. Would have really love it if mitoma and minamino could get in on the action and help their team. Hope Kubo is okay too..
Four goals. Late drama. No winner. 🇳🇱🇯🇵
Netherlands and Japan split the points after Kamada’s 89th-minute strike made it 2-2.
Group F just got interesting.
@30GotNext Because they came from behind, and obviously Netherlands are ranked ahead of Japan as favorites to top the group. Japan also misses key players. Mitoma, Minamino, endo, probably kubo now.
Japan 🇯🇵 2-2 🇳🇱 Netherlands, FT.
Game of the tournament so far, from a tactical and technical standpoint.
I am quite impressed by Japan, while missing 3 key players… they still looked very good!
Both of these teams can go far.
Game 10
Netherlands: Really surprised they couldn't hold a lead either time, attack seems listless at times, but this is a good team and a point sets them up well to still get first in the group
Japan: turns out the Japanese CAN jump despite what the announcer says, way way better in the second half, continue to be a World Cup chaos engine - two winnable matches coming up for Nipon
Gravenberch with 2 assists and a genuinely top performance, yet there are some who have written him off after he’s been run into the ground for a year.
