Here's a live stream of the game so you can all watch. This may not include any commentary, for those who don't mind.
On ESPN3 in the US btw. Nishikawa; H. Sakai, Yoshida, Morishige, G.Sakai; Hasebe, Oshima; Honda, Kagawa, Kiyotake; Okazaki
The bench: Hayashi, Higashiguchi, Ueda (replaced the injured Shoji), Ota, Maruyama, Haraguchi, Usami, Kobayashi, Endo, Yamaguchi, Asano, Muto.
Just seen the UAE goal... wtf Nishikawa. Not sure if it was the image but that did't look so much angled...
That was....not impressive. Might need to sacrifice a midfielder for an attacker who can break down defenders off the dribble. Kagawa -> Usami?
How the heck can Kagawa be so poor at scoring when he play for Japan? That was the typical kagawesque missed goal, something we seen a lot of times in the past ONLY when he wears Samurai Blue jersey. And, Nishikawa was awful in the only chance that UAE had to equalize.
You could get Simeone to coach this team and the defence would still be awful. Lacking mentality and lacking in quality
I hope your WC will be a economic meltdown, you stupid ********s. Another penalty denial and total non-sense calls. Still Japan could do more.
Time wasting, now a disallowed goal, plus all the whistle blowing, this game has been hard to watch from the start
