seems like a little bit predictable group this one, but the ball is round


what can Costa Rica do here, with the likes of Bryan Ruiz, Joel Campbell, Celso Borges, Keylor Navas

or Japan with the likes of talents like Ritsu Doan, Takumi Minamino, and veterans like Yuya Nagatomo, Maya Yoshida, Eiji Kawashima

1 PM UK Time - Germany vs Japan


6 PM UK Time - Spain vs Costa Rica

japan are really quick

Germany v Japan 1-0 32'

33' 1-0 Gundogan PK

looks like is a wee but chillier at this game

strange acoustics in this stadium, its nearly full, but the crowd noise is very quiet

not for me though?


i watch on the NOS livestream online, good enough sound quality for me

First Mexican wave!

offside

2nd half has started

Japan are certainly not playing that bad

offensive changes for Japan

Nagatomo out, Mitoma in

Maeda out, Asano in

oooh almost 2-0, gundogan, so close, wrong side of the bar

Japan playing better, but their shot quality is not up to par.

Germany bringing Hofmann for Muller, and Goretzka for Gundogan

amazing saves from the japan goalkeeper

RITSU DOAN TIME!!!!!!


he comes for Tanaka

omg, should've been 1-1, what a big chance, and solid save from Neuer

last sub for Japan

Minamino for Sakai

1-1 Japan

:cheer:


DOAN!!!!! :worship:

two subs incoming for Germany
