    Koeman subbed Nathan Ake on for Gravenberch, now Japan have equalized

    The first Liverpool player with two assists in one match is what surprised me. The other seems to just be filler.

    The Fox broadcasters were criticizing Japan for constantly whipping ball in for headers despite being smaller and then they score on a corner kick lol

    I can't believe Japan scored from a corner against the Dutch. Collector's item that.

    Over Van Dijk too. Keeper should be stopping that though.

    The Dutch shut up shop way too early. It's not like they were playing a team where they couldn't get the ball and forced in to parking the bus

    Yeah, the first part is a great stat. The second part should just have been left out as it's pointless.

    How can there only be 3 minutes (taking into account the automatic 3 minutes for the drink break) added on for a half with 4 goals and 5 substitute breaks?

    Seven UEFA teams have now played and they have only managed to beat Haiti and Curacao between them all :ninja:

    Defending a 1 goal lead is not working well in this tournament.

    I really don't get it with Verbruggen. I don't think Brighton fans are even the high on him.

    It must take a minute or so to restart after a goal these days. Should probably have been 10 minutes added on, including the hydration break.

    The most shocking one has been Switzerland drawing Qatar. No excuses for that to happen.

    This is why I stopped gambling (albeit my run was three long days).

    Decent game, a shame so many are on at bad times for UK.

    I work from home a lot so the euros/Qatar world cup was great for daytime games

    Japan above the Netherlands on fewer cards. Someone is going to get knocked out of this tournament on cards. Is that also part of the criteria to choose the 8 third places teams that go through? That would be a painful way for someone to leave the tournament.

    European teams have been disapointing so far this tournament, glad that England have their opening game against one of them :)
