PBP Thread: Match #16, Colombia vs Japan, 19 June 2018 [R]

What is he doing there?????

 

Wow. Tough luck for Colombia

 

arguing cause he cant believe there's good referees at this WC

 

Okazaki doesn't score much either. Although he brings other qualities. I prefer Yuya Osako, although he also doesn't score much.

Shinji Kagawa was exactly the player I was counting on to make a difference, or Honda off the bench.

 

That was a pretty garbage penalty, actually.

 

Tuned in a little late. Was the red card the result of the glaring handball?

 

not tough luck. Dumb player

 

The ball is round. Game on!

 

these are my best Japanese picks, too

Also, there was the Colombian defense you were talking about.

 

Guys?

 

yes - but it was the result of a CB's error.

 

Bolivia in '94 had a terrible start. I don't remember the exact details as I was 11.

 

under this unknown coach Japan is a team that lets you play your game. Colombia have their chances to come back

 

i can see a 10 player columbia scoring a couple tbh

 

They didn't show a replay of what the centerback did. Must have been something nasty because I haven't seen many red cards issued to players who purposefully touched a ball.

 

Good save. Not very hard, but the easy stuff sometimes slips by.

 

He extended his arm to block the shot.
The CB let a long ball bounce and the forward got behind him to start the whole commotion.

 

yep, they have the quality to do it, especially against Japan who let them play. Against a team like Poland or Switzerland it might have been hard, but against the Japanese it's quite easy

 

Total crap. Japan very fortunate there.

 

the guy stopped the goal from being scored with his hand. Pretty silly.

 

Phew thanks for "ignore" ^^

 

James out? I didn't read that anywhere in the buildup.... A total surprise. To me.at least.
