[The Hound]

Brilliant finish by Inui!

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

..and Inui ties it!

 

[KrejciMVP]

nice finish

 

[Bondurant]

This will be a good match with Poland v Colombia to follow.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

At least there's one Asian team that can finish

 

[PanniniClaus]

Nagatomo is such a worker...Inui with a great finish...it looked like Senegal was feeling comfortable and Japan stepped on the gas...Senegal need a push back.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Japan is a nice, composed, technical side. I like them.

 

[Eisen]

Good games today. So far at least.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Japan is a nice, composed, technical side. I like them.

They're interesting to watch, sometimes it's like a Bundesliga - Best of Japanese game.

 

[Lilou]

Senegal for me. Please god get them to the knockout stages.

 

[Stray Wasp]

It's been interesting to hear the BBC commentator talking about how the Japanese changed coach because Halilhodzic wished them to be slightly less intricate, given the success they've enjoyed at times switching the play with long passes.

Mind, Senegal have spread the ball wide effectively too at times.

 

[Eisen]

Losing Hasebe would have been quite the blow. One of the best on the pitch today.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Niang...dirty.

 

[nickp91]

Football is evolving to become more and more like a wrestling!

 

[Jersey Fresh]

How? How has he not scored? Weak.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

How do you miss that

 

[PanniniClaus]

no idea how a forward at this level does not get something on that.

 

[punk_o_holic]

So close...

I want to see Keisuke Honda. Okazaki as well.

 

[robertmac43]

The difference in geographical builds and style of football is so evident in this game. Small, technical Japan; against powerful fast Senegal

 

[Theon]

Japan taking over now.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Wake up Senegal

 

[PanniniClaus]

This is Japan's game to win which is just incredible. They are dominant

 

[The Hound]

Super Sub time!

Japan is what Israel wishes they were

There was a time when we had a squad that had some players and could play this kind of football, but Israelis also hate to train and the team never played with this kind of discipline. Good to watch. Go Japan!
