Oh god. Stevan Gerrard is on my screen. Time to turn off for tonight before I break something expensive.
Iran vs Greece should be fascinating game.
South Korea have played better than Japan.And people claim African sides are toothless. The Asian teams are even worse.
and spainGreece have more points than Australia.
fecking hell
as long as one team provides attacking threat it's ok, Nigera offered nothing at all but when Kagawa came on there was actually some really good play from Japan at times.I enjoy good defending by the defenders.
Not a full defensive team that has nothing much to offer in attack.

South Korea were wank too mate, their only goal never should have happened. Iran were even worse.South Korea have played better than Japan.
They deserved that goal as they were better than Russia up to that point, it was a close game. Do you have something against Asians or something.South Korea were wank too mate, their only goal never should have happened. Iran were even worse.
Australia are the only "Asian" team I've been impressed by so far.
aaaand England
wow. turns out that greece must be pretty good then.and spain
Yeah, he has been awful for Milan as well. Russia really seems to spoil careers, it's almost like in 50's boxing: "they never come back" (if they move to russia).And Honda was an absolute car crash tonight. Full scale master cylinder flooding, brake boiled, gasket failure, suspension snapped, take it back to the dealership implosion.
Meh... Greece made it hard for Japan. Once they started parking the bus, this game had 0-0 written all over it. Japan lack individual strength in front of goal, so it was inevitable, really. I think every other top team would have followed Japan's approach. The difference is that they would have managed to tap in one of those crosses, or maybe score from a long-shot. The red card was actually the worst thing that could have happened to the game. Before that, Greece was at least occasionally trying to attack.@Mad Winger What say you!
Wish Japan still had the fast-moving Honda before the knee injury...Yeah, he has been awful for Milan as well. Russia really seems to spoil careers, it's almost like in 50's boxing: "they never come back" (if they move to russia).
If that happens, Bayern will buy Sokratis from Dortmund.Imagine if Greece pulled off a "2004" in this world cup LOL.
christ imagine that.It would be funny if Greece beat Ivory Coast 1-0 just to see the reaction in this forum.

Teams like Greece may win the Euros but they don't win the World Cup (with all respect to them).Imagine if Greece pulled off a "2004" in this world cup LOL.

They got second in our qualifying group, level on points, despite us scoring 18 goals more then them (they scored 12 goals in 10 games ffs, only beating Liechtenstein 1-0 ). It was so frustrating as we won 8 and drew 1 game (including destroying them when we played) and yet they were still somehow level on points. They know how to grind out results that's for sure, but they are clueless going forward. Just awful to watch.Was quite an interesting game if not entertaining. How do Greece keep managing to get to these tournaments? Awful team, park the bus always. Japan lacked quality though really poor so far from them. Still some hope.
Actually, the draw made little difference to Japan's chances. Had they won 1-0: Greece would be out, which means Cote D'Ivoire are almost certainly going to finish on 6pts, which mean Japan needs to beat Colombia.Meh... Greece made it hard for Japan.

Japan needs a miracle now.
So have I. I've been left looking like an utter fool.Ive been talking up Japan for the past year. Now, all my friends are looking at me like I know feck all.
It'd be interesting but it wouldn't happen. Gervinho's goal, dribbling, penetrating?It would be funny if Greece beat Ivory Coast 1-0 just to see the reaction in this forum.

I can't apologize on behalf of the NT but I really feel bad. All the Japanese fans are feeling like fools expecting they could do better.Ive been talking up Japan for the past year. Now, all my friends are looking at me like I know feck all.
For me, coaches and a number of players alike have been a letdown. It was as bad as watching bloody England play out there, Greeks parking the bus or not. Japan knew they had to throw the kitchen sink in, but no one did anything to force something open. The more this goes, the more I will be glad to see the back of Zaccheroni at the end of this.I can't apologize on behalf of the NT but I really feel bad.

Zacc had announced, or the JFA had announced, weeks ago that this is the last tournament he will coach for Japan.For me, coaches and a number of players alike have been a letdown.

There's a new generation of Japanese players coming through in a few years, but they will need higher quality coaches (with guts) to lead them where they should go. Between you and me, would you prefer a Dutch, a German or someone else as next Japan manager?
