Hugh Jass Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Going back to Japan and that last ten minutes the real irony is that they effectively qualified through showing better sportsmanship than Senegal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink_triangle Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 1 hour ago, Hugh Jass said: Last ten minutes of that Japan game were utterly ridiculous. Japan knew they were going through on disciplinary record so they spent the whole final 10 passing the ball between their back four to avoid any booking or anything. I suspect that rule might be canned by the next WC. A stupid rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams will want to win, but I doubt players will be making the sorts of efforts they would in a 'normal' game which might get them injured. Precisely this. I'd be disappointed if we finish top because of yellow cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Pretty much as expected so far, two massively changed teams with little cohesion in a match neither side has a huge incentive to win. Can’t draw any conclusions beyond that really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 One of my favourite sights this WC has been Harry Maguire picking up the ball in defence and marauding upfield with it. Chaos usually follows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep the only ones that really had a chance were Rashford, Rose and Delph. All of those have actually played their way out of contention for me. (Rose has been a bit better going forward than Young but has looked sloppy defensively) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetime Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Arrogance by England fans on a perceived easier draw to the semis, reason they will go out before that if players also believe that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends what your ambitions are. I’m not sure Belgium and England combined have won more than a handful of World Cup knockout games in the last 20 years, don’t think you can turn down a second round match against japan.
