Agree. Japan are a good side. They need to be bolder because when they were positive they looked good.

Korea were good too. These far eastern sides have made considerable progress

Re: FT: IVORY COAST 1 - 0 ECUADOR

90th minute winner for CIV. Lively game in front of an almost total Ecuadorian crowd. Diallo's winner silenced the crowd as if the volume had been muted.

So many missed opportunities by Ecuador. It's a funny old game.

Re: SWEDEN v TUNISIA - Monday June 15th, ko 3:00am

Not a bad first half but that awful female co commentator talking nonsense has made me switch it off.

Shocking goalkeeping for the Sweden goals. Oh well, time for bed.
