Why? Why can''t they be beaten by a "lesser" side as well?

StringerBell

This **** with the refs delaying so many corners and frees to warn people not to be fouling is ridiculous.

Just let them foul and punish them

adox

This games going away from Belgium very quickly. Japan more the most likely of the two to score again at the moment.

This is fcking n brilliant,the Japs are fantastic

Sure you didn't mean anything by it, but Japs is a derogatory term for the Japanese, that they particularly dislike.

Trigger

Terrible by big Rom, needs to get that on target

ERG89

Bad miss there.
Martinez & the attitude of the Belgians is a dangerous mix.

StringerBell

The gamechanger incoming

blueser

How the fcuk did Lukaku miss that? Dreadful header.

Martinez being found out

adox

It’s blzzare seeing De Bruyne playing so deep.

Belgium are all over the place.

Trigger

Belgium look very tired...

Martinez hasn't got a clue, playing him so far back. A waste of materials.

Lukker-

It's insane playing De Bruyne in a pivot

Lukker-

The 343 has no balance, Carrasco isn't a wing back. Holes all over the place.

adox

A fluke I think.

Trigger

WTH :pac:

He was just sending that back in 100%

marklazarcovic

What a shocking call by the linesman,kompany bailed out big time

Trigger

****in delighted for him!

blueser

Belgium will win this now.

Sprinter Sacre

Cmon to f*ck Belgium about time

Lukker-

Great cross and that's why you bring on Fellaini. Japan aren't the biggest so I'd be swinging in balls to Lukaku and Fellaini left and right.

adox

Lukaku to score the winner now you’d think.

Japan have been as impressive as Belgium have been sh1t.

Corholio

Japan need to regroup and keep it tight for a while now. Hope they can grab a third.

Can't wait to see how Martinez tweaks his tactics to turn this around...........

That’s gotta sting!

Who would have thought that bringing on a big lump with excellent heading ability, would cause trouble to those little Japanese fellas?



Makes you wonder why he was not on from the start?

adox

Belgium really over complicating it here. Get the ball wide. Cross it in to the box.

They will win the game that way.

The Japanese goalie looks like one of those mad bastard soldiers you see depicted in WW2 movies.

Hitchens

Japan are quite nippy

It is a good job you didn't say only for the numbers they all look the same.....

:rolleyes:

FourFourRED

You have to score them Lukaku mate

Sprinter Sacre

So so bad

Turtyturd

Poor attempt from Lukaku.

Lukker-

Lukaku should have done better, missed a few good oppurtunies

crushproof

Lukaku had the whole goal there! Open header!!

RTE commentary is so bad. Why do they always berate the favorites, especially, when they are losing, and over criticize every little thing they do and then over exaggerate the performance of the underdogs. You can hear them willing Japan on to score here?

Sprinter Sacre

De Bruyne is knackered from the heat. He can barely run. He'd want to do something here as he has no hope of surviving in Qatar in 4 years.

So you think it would be better if the teams who struggle against the weaker sides would do better against England than those that have shown they can beat the bigger teams?

Brazil win this WC with ease.

Plus they see a feud between Hazard and DeBryne

ERG89

Japan need to win this in 90 mins. They look fairly tired.

crushproof

Looking at another extra time here. Poor show by Belgium, can see Japan grabbing it. They seem have more in their engine.

The Talking Bread

Superb free kick

Yes, class is permanent...or at least longer lasting than a weaker team just giving their all in this once game.

The Talking Bread

That was excellent goal. That dummy by Lukaku..........

ctrl-alt-delete

Excellent counter attack.

FourFourRED

That looked very likely. Japan looked very fatigued after 70 mins.

Sprinter Sacre

Chadli and Fellaini the game changers absolute LOL

adox

Brilliant winner to be fair. Didn’t see them pulling this around.

Hope they stuff the Brazilians.

Lukker-

About the best thing Lukaku did all night was leave that ball for Chadli. Superb counter though

It was a beautiful dummy though.
