Now if Japan defeats Brazil (I think they never did it in history), I will live on a boat and stop watching football. This WC is shutting up my mouth so badly. Haha.
From Belgium youth training of always playing 3 in the back - they are now leaving too much space wide.
Don't forget that Japan did the job on Colombia as well. Yes, they were fortunate to benefit from the early red, but they still managed to beat a good Conmebol team.
Agree with Tony Meola, KDB should have been playing further up. Also the central defenders seem too close to each other.
And that my friends is why Martinez should not be anywhere near this National side. Belgium require 3 goals to advance and withdraw Carrasco and Mertens.
I did some quick research. The last time a team advanced in a knockout stage game after a two goal deficit was 1982 the semi-final between Germany and France. France was up 3-1 in extra time but Germany came back to level it 3-3 and won in penalty shootout.
