Offside but Germany really need to be careful on the counter. The Japanese attack are so fast and technically good too
Oh man, that was great by Japan.
So many teams at this WC seem to not know the offside rule?
Terrible, not even an attempt to stay onside.
Loss of motivation under Low, complacency, Low sticking to aging old favourites of his etc. They'll be good. Would've been the same issue with France if half of them didn't get injured. Injuries might have given them the hunger they need.
And that's saying something because Rudiger is extremely fast
Name checks out
Just kept sprinting for some reason
Rudiger is very, very fast. He was quickest player in the Premier league last year.
He ran like Forrest Gump.
Got to love Japan. Usually a pretty fun team to watch.
Yeah but Maeda had him on toast for pace
Just get it to Ito on the counter
Ito and Kubo on the wings are fecking fast as shit.
Yeah imagine what he could do to actually slow defenders.
Technically not bad too
This ground seems very quiet all of a sudden

Yeah, they usually play with great intensity and speed, while also being technically sound. Unfortunately, they will often get found out physically or tactically. Remember them losing their lead against Belgium in the last World Cup trough sheer naivety, bringing forward too many players on a corner and then being destroyed on the counter.
3 goals in 14 for Celtic. Fair to say it's not all that impressive
I dont follow the scottish league. What kind of style do Celtic play?
And I was speaking from a pace perspective. Given how far he ran offside, decision making doesnt seem his strong suit.
I think he's naturally a winger though right?
How come Hatate hasn't been called up by Japan? He's been good for Celtic no?
I know, which is why Maeda speed is so impressive.
He’s deployed as a winger rather than a striker for Celtic. Isn’t renowned for his goalscoring. More his work-rate.
Also Kai Havertz with short hair is a hot man. No homo
Japan is fighting with mad energy so far.
Are they playing at the Etihad? Atmosphere is abysmally dead.
He’s been a bit inconsistent for Celtic this season imo. Still a decent player.
Seems not many German fans if any at all
Havertz just bulldozing into him 
Musiala is so good
Now I understand why people wanted Mitoma to start. There's nothing happening on Japan's left side.
Intense but only few moments of high quality
Is that the Qatar 2022 official logo?
Joshua Kimmich is such a classy player. Like a modern day Philipp Lahm
Germany will probably win the game as Japan is just too tactically naive.
That penalty would've been given if it was Martínez at United
Was that piece of commentary meant to be a joke about Germans being arrogant ?
