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

James in, hope he scores a couple

 

??? I think you've got the wrong person

 

I don't think I've ever seen Quintero on tv where his tongue isn't out.

 

Japan much better in the second half. Colombia may have run themselves to the ground in the first half.

 

James should score

 

Its amazing that Falcao just keeps getting away with that shit. Should have had 3 red cards due to flops alone in this game. Can we have one WC where the refs pay extra attention to this shit instead of the usual, elbows, bad tackles.

 

he was tired, and needed a rest (not joking, this is what the commentators have said)

 

Falcao is pissing me off, has pretty much dived every time he’s gotten the ball

 

this a great game. Japan really starting to work over Colombia's 10 men.

Is James Rodriguez a star? Where does he play during the year?

 

Should be red

 

not to be biased or anything but if Japan can't beat a Colombian team playing with 10 man for 85 minutes they don't deserve to make it out of the group

 

Since last WC?

 

Attaboy ref.

 

Talking about the “quality”....

 

Japan pressuring now

 

Japan have quality, too. They just don't know how to use it

 

Japan have the ball but have no idea what to do with it

 

Give Japan credit...They keep pressing Colombia since HT

 

yeh

 

This is such a generic, nothing statement.

What exactly have Colombia done when they've had the ball?

 

Maybe they never expect that kind of “gift”

 

He went to Real off the strength of his performances at WC2014, disappointed there, was loaned to Bayern, where he's been "aight".

 

Very close

 

Finally 2:1
