Fantastic goal. Osako obliterates his opponent in the air, Kubo cuts back and delivers a sweet left footed cross, Konno chests down calmly and finishes between the keeper's legs.
Okazaki on for Osako btw. I'm too tired to follow the match now, heh UAE will need to score to wake me up
No reason to throw on a defender. UAE started the half with 2 good chances but since then can't even get near Japan's penalty area. Or since Konno, I should say
You guys thunk that Konno and Yamaguchi should be in the squad for Russia? Still think that perhaps there might be better alternatives, especially for Konno who seems to give away penalties unnecessarily in some matches.
