Cant decide whom I want to win. Spain would be better for the Olympic Football, but Japan would be a great story.

Japan should be 3 or 4 up now
Japan should be at least 3 goals up.
BBC2. You can watch it online too.

Japan are going to regret these terrible misses
Ridiculous that Jordi Alba is playing or Mata. Never mind Alba being all over the place.
cheers lads
What a nice run.
Japan look dead on their feet. It was difficult to keep that pace for the entire 90 mins. Too bad they didn't take advantage of those great chances.
Spain equally tired, but understandable down to 10 men. Still looking dangerous, more so than japan.
Spain are lucky to only lose this by 1 goal.
That Dominguez bloke has been fairly crap.
When is the GB game on/is it televised?
My goodness ... Japan just cant shoot
My God, Japan.
8pm Kick off, should be on BBC1.
Uneffingbelievable!!!!
They are doing everything in their power not to finish this game off.
I almost want Spain to score just to punish Japan's dreadful finishing.
Spainlol. Does this mean Pele will call an Asian team to win the WC before 2022?
Schweet.
This Spanish defending is dreadful. Not sure if we'll see worse defending in this tournament.
Hilarious to think that it could have ended up being 6-0.
Can't wait for the Uruguay game next. Ramirez, Suarez and Cavani will destroy UAE

Well done Japan, good win.
1-0 FT. Pleased for Japan, they played well (...shooting aside).
Yes!
BBC committed to blaming DDG's movement for the defence letting the Japanese player get to the ball before them, despite every replay showing none of the defenders looking in Dave's direction at any point during the corner.
Wait till 8pm tonight.
I'm sure Steve Claridge is retarded.
"Herpa durrrrrrrr he done come for the ball an stopped cus was too far away, was right not cummin but shouldn't havecomed inthe furst placcccce. Put defenderoffpjuihpijop"
Wow. Japan could have easily won 5-0. What great build up and comical finishing. Numbers 11 and 17 stood out for me. And the right back.
Spain looked dead on arrival. They were afraid and nervous. De Gea played beautifully.
Bring on GB!

Is the Uruguay game on BBC2?
Yep.
So, is Suarez going to get a warm welcome at Old Trafford?
Great performance from Japan, dont think Spain were expecting their front players to have a crazy workrate all game closing them down and pouncing on loose touches. Time and again this created good oppertunities for them but their finishing wasnt good and De Gea saved 2 or 3 decent/good efforts
Inigo Martinez & Dominguez look glacially slow, definitely susceptible to a pacey forward.
So if the Olympics are all about fair play and global harmony......
...what the feck is Luis Suarez doing there?

Wales spent a decade before learning not to play in a 70,000 capacity stadium. Looks like the Olympic organisers have made the same mistake.
Is the UAE team going to be affected by Ramadan at all?
