Odds to win for Game (Japan V Paraguay)

Paraguay: 11/10
Tie (at end of 90 minutes): 9/4
Japan: 3/1

Either way will be a very close game indeed!

[Raph]

3 hours till Japan v Paraguay!

[Raph]

2 hours to go!

I've got a feeling Paraguay will nick it, given how well the South Americans have performed so far.

I'm really looking forward to the other game though.

I believe in Japan. They've played so well, and I think they got the easiest opponent out of their 8. They've never made it to Quarters in Japanese History, and in 1 hour and 23 minutes, history may be made for Japan. Let's go Nippon!

COME ON JAPAN!!

I've got three Japanese in my fantasy team and none from Paraguay so they'd better bloody win!

[King Gizzard]

Paraguay can piss off with all the other boring teams

:thumbs:

Good first half. Japan had some decent chances. I think if we keep it a tie, Japan might just win as Kawashima is known to be great at saving penalties. Naturally, a goal our way would be better but thinking worst cases! Come on Nippon! :hello:

Paraguay can piss off with all the other boring teams

[Raph]

0:0 end of game. Extra time now. Come on Japan, we can do it!!!!

[Raph]

Damn it i'm nervous! Japan and Paraguay are so equal it solely relies on luck I think.. But either way, Come on Japan!!

[Shaun]

first penalties :D

[Raph]

Penalties. Come on Kawashima, you're a legend as it is!

[setanta]

Well I got the draw right in the prediction game, but that was a disappointing match really.

[Shaun]

come on Japaaaan

[Shaun]

:(

[Shaun]

aww. They didn't deserve to lose like this. Then again noone ever does, really

[Raph]

[setanta]

Japan's keeper was crap there.

[red]

i hope spain wins i wanna see Ronaldo cry :)

[Raph]

Japan's keeper was crap there.

Kawashima is a legend. He's my favorite world cup player regardless.

[setanta]

Kawashima is a legend. He's my favorite world cup player regardless.

He went too early for all the penalties. Lost his nerve a bit.

[Raph]

He went too early for all the penalties. Lost his nerve a bit.

Oh no, I completely agree. But he's saved Japan enough so I'm not blaming this on him. Was a really close game. Either winner would've come out lucky!

[CaraRawr]

Gutted. D:

[Raph]

They tried their very best, and that's what counts in the End!

[CaraRawr]

Also hoping Spain win against Portugal.

[Raph]

Also hoping Spain win against Portugal.

I hope so too. Spain's way of playing would've been a better potential opponent for Japan. Still can't believe they lost out in the very, very end :bawling:

[bbfan1991]

Gutted for Japan, well done to Paraguay though:).


Come on SPAIN!:hugesmile:.

[Nemo123]

Intrigueing contest this one. Can't call it at all.

[Raph]

Come on SPAIN!:hugesmile:.

Mutual feeling on all three parts of that comment. except i might add an 'extremely' before the gutted!

[CaraRawr]

Ronaldo, omnom. :love:

[KG.]

I do love Spain, and usually would dislike Portugal, but I've been impressed with them so far in the tournament so it wouldn't be too bad if they made it through for me.

Still, I'd like to see Spain do it.

[Nemo123]

Ronaldo, omnom. :love:

What? typo? conman?

[KG.]

Oops, I forgot to put Raul Meireles into my team for Demichelis who only got me 4 points :(

[Nemo123]

Wicked bobble on that freekick

[KG.]

Villaaaaaa!!

I don't know why I didn't get him on my Fantasy Team over Rooney :(

[Nemo123]

Big boob taking Almeida off, he was doing really well

[Raph]

Spain v Japan would've been such a great game!

[King Gizzard]

Capdevilla is more of a disgrace than the Ivory Coast player. Hope he gets a long ban

[GiRTh]

Disgraceful. Do you guys still want Spain to win? Costa never touched him.

[King Gizzard]

No i've never liked spain

[GiRTh]

No i've never liked spainNot you, the others.

For my team I desperately needed Portugal to win that one. I dont think I can win the league now,.

[KG.]

You can't hold one players disgrace against the whole team.

[Raph]

Disgraceful. Do you guys still want Spain to win? Costa never touched him.

lost respect for him there. Poor Ricardo Costa. Looks like the ideal Quarter Final match would've been Portugal v Japan.. ah well!

[Locke.]

Looked like an elbow caught him from one angle. Can't be bothered watching the post match show to find out though.

Well done Spain nonetheless.

Looking good for Liverpool keeping hold of Torres, can't anyone wanting to spend over 50 mil on him the way he's playing this world cup :)

[bbfan1991]

Well done to Spain:), sending off of Ricardo Costa was disgraceful and Joan Capdevila should be embarrassed IMO.

[James]

Pretty sure he did get whacked on the face by an elbow.

[30stone]

I like Capdevila didnt see this though so cant judge.

Very very happy spain are through though, hope they dont even have to play brazil hopefully netherlands knock them out..


either way spain are looking good :)
