Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] Okubo has had some great touches today. Please, equalize Japan!
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] Okazaki and Tamada hmm no Morimoto? oh well What a bucketload of bullcrap this has been. And it was nearly 2-0 there. If not a draw then at least 1-0 plz
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] Oka-chan, my heart leaped into my throat! Even Okada seemed to spring into life!
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] Overall a good game by Japan, too bad Kawashimas bad mistake destroyed a potential party Abe and Tulio was great today. No Tulio was better than that. I'm dissapointed but things look good anyway. Respect to Japan.
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] As far as the ol' goal difference goes not a bad result at all. Unlucky Okazaki didn't equalise but the dutch fully deserved the 1-0. Ah but what a howler from Kawashima. Nakamura looked like a goon out there. Now we gotta hope Cameroon beat Denmark so the Danes come to Royal Bakofeng playing for "pride" or in other words "we're unhappy, down and eliminated but we don't get paid until we play this 90 minutes"
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] Good job Japan. You may have lost but you showed real potential. I can really see you guys overcoming Denmark with ease.
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] Fk Okazaki. Fck, fck, fck, fck. Too hard. And Nakamura ... please, retire lord.
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] seriously... u cant blame the ball on that goal... it was a strong shot, but as a world cup starting gk he has to have that.... good reflexes on the scene later thought.... hard fought match, good defensive play... a bit more luck and maybe a natural lefty on the oka shoot and we have a draw... anyway.... on to the next match! lets go for it against denmark.. imo, man of the match -> tulio!
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] wow. Nakamura was so poor. He was just walking with the ball in the middle of the park. And he got stripped so many times. Had no confidence, just layed the ball off to teammates to take pressure off himself. Both dutch chances in the second half came off really bad mistakes by nakamura..
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] lol and the korean media thought he was the key player for Japan...
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] I think the Denmark game is harder to be honest. We all expected the Dutch to beat us. But honestly, the Denmark game is hardest.
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] Seeing the Dutch today, I feel more like we lost a point. And yes, forget Shunsuke. The only thing he is good for is if we get a FK in a good position (but how long is it that he scored from a FK in competitive matches?). He has become slow, and more importantly, he is not the heart of our team. He can only function in a team relying completely on him in a free role.
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] That's how I feel. I'm still frustrated. I have mixed feelings about the Denmark match. ummmmh Can't wait for the Rising Sun News post-match analysis.
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] And Morimoto dammit ? He has the best skills in the penalty area.
Re: (06.19.10) FIFA World Cup: Holland vs. Japan [R] I knew Okada wouldn't fail to fail. Three horrible subs to kill all our momentum when we were playing them off the pitch.
