I will say, Japan don't press Spain properly. It's very half arsed and they care more about keeping shape, but in doing that you allow Spain to play their game. Yes they've been good, but itll be interesting to see what they're like against a team that will put them under high pressure on the ball.

Is that a surprise? Against a team as good on the ball as Spain your pressing is either top notch or you'll just end up exposing yourself for nothing.

Yeah, that's shite goalkeeping. Still a nice strike though.

That goal backs this up. First time in the match they've put Spain under actual pressure and they score.
