How does extra time work? I get the play stoppages and injury time, but do the refs just call it at their own discretion?
Japan is just too inocent.
This game and the Denmark/Croatia shootout.Game of the tournament so far? I definitely think so.
They wanted their own mentality back. This is by design.I honestly think they don't really understand how this sport works. No European or Latin American side would ever play like Japan do.

Well, I feel sorry for Japan, but quite simply, Belgium is the better team.
They don't have any awareness, the last play was ridiculous. Why would you send almost everyone on your team on a corner when you are basically a nation of midgets playing against Goliaths?I honestly think they don't really understand how this sport works.

If they can keep developing talent and improving though, this will pay off for them over the years. They just need to hit on a golden generation of players, and playing this way will translate to results.They're too honest. We complain about time wasting, diving, etc. but that's how teams finish games. Japan doesn't do any of those.
I still like that philosophy.They're too honest. We complain about time wasting, diving, etc. but that's how teams finish games. Japan doesn't do any of those.
This game was lost on their goalkeeper and stupidity on the last play.They're too honest. We complain about time wasting, diving, etc. but that's how teams finish games. Japan doesn't do any of those.

It truly pisses me off.
And that’s why you park the bus, folks
Sadly, but true. It wasn't the case today, but when you are a bad team your only chance to win is to park the bus. It's a smart decision. It doesn't make it up a nice game to watch but you gain in emotion.And that’s why you park the bus, folks
