I don't f***ing care if Japan looked good this game or they impressed neutrals. Blowing a 2 goal second half lead is dumb.
As I said before the lack of any great subs will be the main reason for the failure of Japan. Nishino has to be blamed for again bringing in Yamaguchi. This guy is terrible and a curse for the national team
How moronic was it to throw all the men upfront for that corner. Like they were gonna score on Belgium on a CORNER KICK. I want to throw my tv out of the window.
I wish he listened to you, it was clear Osako was tired, and Okazaki's pression would tire Belgium defence and create spaces for his teammates.
Yamaguchi was the main reason for the collapse of the Japanese midfield and the defeat to Ivory Coast at the last World Cup. And this time japan again collapsed after he was subbed in. Nishino has to be blamed
This gives me flashbacks of the Italy Confed Cup game in 2013. F!cking ridiculous Why Yamaguchi. Why no Okazaki - we needed legs to chase the CBs. Shibasaki didn't look terribly tired.
