Great finish. Thought chance had gone with the hesitation but fair play to him. Deserved tbh, Japan have been great here. Belgium are trash as always. Can beat shit teams because of better players but the manager always fails to get them a balanced system. They might still win (probably) but Martinez wont win anything with them.

So close hazard right after now!

Belgium committed too many forward and got lazy, great pass and finish

The goal might have come a tad early for Japan can't see them holding off a desperate Belgium for almost a whole half

Hate to say it but considering the opponent...it might soon be Fellaini time

Well!

Let's see what this Belgian side is made of.

I'm developing a more or less irrational dislike for them. Honestly don't know why, I've usually liked them in the past.

Belgium were so open to the counter attack. Threw nearly everyone forward and left their defenders exposed.

Think there's a bit of underrating of Japan going on. They're playing really well.

Belgium could be doing better but it's not all about that.

Wish Belgium had some more natural full backs because I really don't like this system with their players.

Belgium so poor tonight.

Japan been really good but don't see them threatening Brazil if they make quarters.

If Japan win this they better get engraving England's name on the trophy and sewing the second star on the shirts.
