Administrator Stan Posted November 29, 2022 Administrator Share Posted November 29, 2022 Kick-off 19.00 (GMT) VS Venue - Khalifa International Stadium, Al Rayyan - Spain can qualify with a draw, if Germany beat Costa Rica, or a loss if Costa Rica/Germany draw, or Germany don't beat Costa Rica by more than 7 goals - Japan just need to draw if Germany don't beat Costa Rica by more than 1 goal, or if Germany/Costa Rica draw, but they must avoid defeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASF Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Good thing it's a holiday here today, so that I can see Japan play. Expect them to put up a decent fight, but Spain will be too much. 0-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Japanese fans asking the same questions as everyone else. Why is the Japanese manager leaving a lot of his most talented players on the bench? Minamino, Tomiyasu, and Mitoma not starting is just weird. Hope they can pull off a miracle though.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 1, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted December 1, 2022 Japan is trying to rush this game when they really need to be holding onto the ball instead of turning it over everytime they make some progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 This game is absolutely dead. Nothing from Japan, too much respect shown to Spain, no atmosphere besides the odd drum being banged, it's got a real dreary feel to it. Out with a whimper. Come on Japan for fuck sake, at least put some pressure on Spain when they have the ball, it's just ridiculous otherwise. You can close them down, it is allowed.

Two times now he's given cards when they really aren't necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a totally mixed bag at these tournaments. Some let things go for a half and tighten up 2nd half whilst some get a bit excited and want to whip them out at any opportunity. Not even a dirty game and Japan have 3 Yellows, nothing you'd really feel was worth picking up for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
