    I'm going with another Nicolas Bendtner shot from very close range after a jumble in the box and a mistake by a Japanese defender.

    1-0 Denmark

    Hoping for a really good match though

    Japan tifo coming through.

    I'm interested in seeing how Yokohama:D BOMBER deals with Bendtner.


    Fourth official reminds me of Ron Pearlman in a way.

    Ekoku already talking about the ref, calling him "fussy".

    Cameroon does not. The Netherlands are already through. Whichever team wins this match will go through. A draw will see Japan go through on goal difference.

    In order to top the group Japan or Denmark will need to win and Netherlands will need to lose to Cameroon. Both sides will need to make up the GD advantage the Dutch have (currently +3 and +4 respectively).

    Essentially this match decides second place, Japan with the slight advantage coming in.

    Well, I guess the drinking game is the number of times Ekoku talks about his OBVIOUS dislike for this ref:rolleyes:

    Alright could this world cup get any crazier? I think I've seen everything now. Just saw a player coloring his socks pink with a marker pen. Anyone want to guess who it was?

    :eek:

    The way the Danes have possessed though, and deep in the offense, the tying goal looms

    If Japan wins, only 4 European teams will qualify from groups A-F, and those 4 play each other in the round of 16, which means only 2 of them will be in the quarters!

    Max of 4 Euro teams in the quarters, and that's only if Brazil gets upset.
