GET IN!! It's 1-1! Good thing that the response came very quickly. Now we can focus on the real job at hand.
Wow Kaneko redeems himself from that embarassing mistake! Ogashiwa ripping Italy apart. 3-1 with almost a full squad turnover!
That was horrible goalkeeping; he should have gone all out for the ball, but it's 3-2 now. What's up with poor goalkeeping in Japan? Fans don't need Japan to make things look more interesting than they should be. Two goals up, kill the game!
Can Japan go and hire Marco van Basten for one summer? I would like to see him show everyone at all age groups in MNTs how to bleeping finish. Let's make it a real boot camp worth a few weeks or even a month.
Phew! We got lucky that the poor clearance led to a call against the Italian player as a hand ball foul.
Now, since Japan IS superior in the extra times they should score and win... If Italy doesn't score the 4th now. Oh no et. Pks.
Well, a couple of players will be to blame if this match is lost, no excuses. And the coach too, btw (starting defensive changes like '30 ago) And who does it exactly? They're playing with the reserves of the reserves now basically with Ueda randomly alone forward. No Hatate. No Mitoma. No Ogashiwa lol
