2018 Football World Cup
-
Japan was compact and organised at the back which meant Belgium struggled to create many chances in the 1st half. Lukaku and Witsel had half-chances but nothing much else. I didn't think that De Bruyne was that prominent in the 1st half either, and Lukaku looked frustrated with his lack of service.

Great to see and sets a great example.
I work for a Japanese company and see this type of article doesn't surprise me but it still makes me happy.

I liked the story that when they played Colombia fans, the Japanese fans started gathering up all their rubbish from the stands at the end of the game - the Colombian fans asked them what they were doing and when they were told, they did the same thing. Warm fuzzies

fuck, now I feel bad for the Japanese. No diving, not antics, no theatrics and no time-wasting when they were in front. Hate this world cup!
However they were at least beaten by a side who also played to win by scoring goals in open play, who didn't spend the last half diving like say Brazil would. Japan scored more easily than against other sides because the Belgians played way more up field than most.

Boring as fuck 1st half in the Colombia v England match.
Penalties at this rate 😭
-
@rocky-rockbottom really? You sound like these idiots in the ITV studio. One eyed and can only see one lot niggling. It's quite clearly cutting both ways, they're watching an English player drop his shoulder into a Colombian player who drops his shoulder and moaning about intimidation... When the Colombian is tiny. Fuck the fuck off
-
I hate the way the players crowd the ref screaming like petulant children. Such a bad look.
-
Agreed.
There's dirty, thick fluffybunnies on both sides

Jesus you can't blame Neymar for his sookie antics when you listen to these ITV commentators whinging for a red card on a Colombian player that slightly brushed an English player with his head.
You either deal harshly with that shit or the game descends.
Having not red carded the Columbian, he was forced to only yellow a similar English offence that could easily have led to a full on fight.
Columbia are filthy.
