Thought he just swung a leg at it at first, but it was actually a very composed sidefoot. Has looked very good for CSKA, with his marketing potential to go with his talent, the price they paid looks an absolute steal (yet another one Liverpool missed out on having been interested)

Giving a fairly defensive Japan side something to defend is not necessarily a good thing for the game...

Bob the Seducer

Almost missed the goal due to watching the match with the sound off

Honda's been motoring well all game to be fair to him. If anyone was going to score or create something, it was going to be him.

Honda is very highly rated in Russia and the Japanese feel he could be their next star which they havent really had since Hidetoshi Nakata. If he grabs a few more goals im sure there will be a few teams from the big leagues sniffing around.

Pepe LeFrits

Honda's put Japan in the driving seat.

Ah, there was 19 fouls in that half and the Japan keeping stayed down for a bit after taking a fall. I'm going to assume that all had something to do with there being some injury time.

Honda 0 to 1 in 38 minutes

Finally thought of a good joke

is nakata retired?

a real class act, would have been savage with someone like arsenal / wenger

I got it, and even had a little laugh.

RichTea

Only started watching this around the half hour mark. Cameroon have looked a lot better than Samurai Blue but just can't seem to get a decent shot away.

D2D

So much for this game improving

DeVore

Honda. More reliable than Toyota.

Dont be at yourself

Did anybody notice that the Japanese player Keisuke Honda shares his name with a Japanese car maker?

Kiwi_knock

So 30 mins left, either it is going to filled with entertaining football or more likely jokes about Honda

steelcityblues

Mowbray and Lawrenson = awkward commentary pairing!

Japan 1 Cameroon 0 - 69mins

Japan in the driving seat thanks to Honda as wheels come off Cameroon's World Cup ambitions.

Dropping Alexandre Song for the guys Cameroon have in midfield was a shocking call

Could ye not be more civic? I thought it was good.

SarahBM

I wasnt expecting the goals to fly in, but this is ridiculous.

Iv unpacked all my stuff (just moved home from Dublin) and Ive done all the ironing and checked my email, fed the cat put on a washing and hung it out, and still nothing has happened.
as for the goal. good goal but really dodgy defending.

15 mins left.

Could this be a prelude to a surprise Japanese run?

Gillington

Cameroon are poor,tactics are all wrong

Pepe LeFrits

What's the Jazz with Honda? He's hardly a Legend.

Paul Tergat

Honda now looks exhaust-ed

this thread really needs renaming to reflect half of the posts in it!

CR 7

Japan seem to be getting ansxious now, Cameroon getting insight of goal.

Frisbee

What a strike! Very unlucky

Paul Tergat

Wow what a hit, off the bar. Maybe some action in the last 5 mins

s_carnage

Ooohh so close there for Cameroon.

Peyton Manning

The end of this match is actually quite good, and not because its the end of the suffering. Both teams have hit the post in the last 5 mins.

Pepe LeFrits

That was a turbo-charged shot from M'Bia alright.

the_monkey

dire stuff

the_monkey

CRAP..... JAPAN ARE LIKE LIVERPOOL UNDER HOULIER ...

Paul Tergat

Cameroon should have shown that sort of urgency for the whole game. Another ****e game tbh.

Roll on Spain and Brazil and the 2nd round of group fixtures
