WTF was that thing? Did anyone else see that?

Just be happy this game isn't taking place in some run down ground with poor lighting in Chile. Watching copa libertadores when I first got HD was a scary experience. Big f*ckers like those used to fly directly into the camera and scare the hell out of me.

Honda looks like he could shift through the gears at any time. Some engine on him....

Kylo Ren

Japan are relentless in their pressure. The Ivory Coast keeper doesn't look up for it either. He's gonna crack soon.

Why is this game on so late anyway?

Kicked off at 2200 local time which is very late.

Thats like standard evening ko time in 90% of West/Central Europe. Spain regularly has 23:00 ko's.

Kylo Ren

Japan's wall should of started to sing Happy Birthday there.

Nuri Sahin

It was Mothra for those asking!

Brilliant goal! Whats honda been like in serie a does anybody know?

And what the hell was that on the pitch?!

Been so poor that Milan are contemplating moving him on in the summer.

But it was due to extenuating circumstances:

1. He was bought before Seedorf took over so the change in manager didn't help.

2. Milan played 4-2-3-1 and he didn't get his favoured position as the CAM so was forced out wide right where he is much less effective.

3. He wasn't fit when he joined because he was after playing a full season with the Russian league and it had finished for the Winter so he wasn't match sharp.

4. Milan were useless all year and he was given no chance to adapt to a different league. :P



Got him on a free but realistically if he was English he'd probably be a £30m player :pac:

LightningBlue

That should be a yellow.

Dismissed the expectation?

Needs the peppy co-commentary of Phil Neville to go with Bloom. That and someone needs to shoot the maracas and horn players.

Turtyturd

Commentator is really killing this...he's no Joey Styles.

Kylo Ren

These instruments in the crowd are getting irritating.

LightningBlue

Cracking strike by Boka.

LightningBlue

Honda is magic. Every time he gets it he's causing havoc.

Turtyturd

Gervinho really wasn't one of Wenger's best moments.

Hank Scorpio

Needs more Drogba

Turtyturd

Great clearance from Kalou.

Japan reminding me of North Korea vs Brazil in 2010

Rte showing the england highlights ffs. Why would anyone up at this time have not seen this earlier

Dozen Wicked Words

Hyundai ad makes Oscar look a bit predatory.

Tristram

Japan playing more conservatively than I expected. Seem content to let CIV have possession and try hit them on the break.

Picked this game as my bet for Highest Scoring Group Game, it's certainly open but I can't see another 5 goals

LightningBlue

Ivory Coast have blown some amount of chances.

Kylo Ren

Ah Bony. He's not in it tonight.

*Cue jinx*

Kagawa's been disappointing so far.

Bony has been awful tonight. Bring on the Drog of War.

Hank Scorpio

Shoulda been a pen for Toure, what a run

kryogen

Yellow card warranted there for Toure, no contact and only decides to take a roll when he realises he isnt going to be able to control the ball, good theatrics though

the incredible pudding

Should have been a penalty really.

Tristram

How CIV have not scored yet is be beyond me.

It's the only one on this late, no idea why though

Corholio

Hm not sure if Yoshida got anything on that, a very tiny touch if any.

Washington Irving

Probably should have been a pen. The way he went down did him no favours.

Washington Irving

Here comes Drogba. Serey off.

LightningBlue

Ah feck off Gervinho that was on a plate.
