Surely a formality for Belgium tonight?

Looking that way.

[Majorblue]

Looking that way.

Or maybe not.
Belgium look a class apart but they haven't put this game away.
Another Russia v Spain where the team that frustrates wins out?

[life on mars]

No mugs Japan, and they have skill, on top or thier known guile.
Nearly took a one nil lead them.

[Michael Morris]

Japan don't look a bad side. They are getting men forward at times.

Japan playing some really good stuff, not giving the ball away cheaply.

To by fair Japan have played well all over the pitch, neutralisd De Hazard and De Bruyne, are these World Cup shocks down to the City going up ,with our no nonsense footy, have we changed the world of football.

Jammy bastard

What is going on? Warnock would be delighted by three games where the less heralded side defends well and their system halts a side of more talent on paper.
