Group A: Brazil, Italy, Mexico, Japan
Group B: Spain, Uruguay, Tahiti, Nigeria
Disappointed by Japan in the opener, didn't have their usual pace or stamina. Neymar opened the scoring on a terrific volley; my 6 year old in the Japan shirt was calling for hand ball on Fred but I don't think you'd ever call that back. Brazil had most of the possession and the better chances, Japan's shots were from distance and right at the keeper. Brazil's second goal should've been stopped by Kawashima, who's made too many mistakes in recent months. Uchida did a good job keeping up with Neymar on the wing. Honda tried hard but couldn't beat the pressure, it didn't help that David Luiz kept shoving him without drawing a foul. Endo looked old and tired and couldn't complete any of his longer pass attempts, the team improved when he was replaced. Brazil were clearly the better team, despite the perception that they're not that good these days, which bodes badly for Japan fans like me
Hard to imagine Japan getting enough points from Italy and Mexico to advance, which means this afternoon's game in Rio could decide the non-Brazil team to come out of Group A.
Spain - Uruguay this afternoon should be fun to watch.

Gutted to see Japan go out after such a spirited effort. Watched it with the whole family, scared the toddler shrieking for Okazaki's equalizer, Kagawa hitting the crossbar, and Yoshida scoring while offside. Can't believe Yoshida's mistake that led to the own goal and the call for handball that gave Balotelli the PK. Overall that was easily the best I've seen them play against top opposition.
We were thinking of taking the kids to Brazil next year to watch Japan in the World Cup, looks like that might be worth the trouble.

Yeah, not sure why they changed CBs from the 2010 World Cup team when they had Tullio (with the samurai hair) and Nakazawa (with the J-Fro). Yoshida's a bigger guy but he's so maddeningly inconsistent. If the central defense was just half-decent (and if they had a striker, nice work aiming the open header right at Buffon, Maeda), they'd be competitive even at the highest level.

Just ran right through Italy-Japan. What a game, you weren't wrong.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 21 June 2013 19:46 (eleven years ago)
Okazaki's deflection should've counted, the defender nearer the camera had kept him onside.
The announcer keeps calling Nagatomo "Nagamoto", which is driving my wife crazy.
Japan's had the better chances but remain dedicated to shooting straight at the keeper.
― Plasmon, Saturday, 22 June 2013 19:28 (eleven years ago)
I wondered if anyone'd be watching that one.
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 22 June 2013 19:31 (eleven years ago)
Hah, we get up at 4 in the morning to watch the Nihon Daihyo on Justin TV, not going to miss a Saturday afternoon game on HDTV.

I'm not going to pretend I know what that is. Enlighten me.
(you're missing nothing in the other game btw)
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 22 June 2013 19:44 (eleven years ago)
Nihon Daihyo = Japan national soccer team. We watch all their matches, the 6 year old watches interviews and knows the names and numbers of the entire squad
― Plasmon, Saturday, 22 June 2013 19:57 (eleven years ago)
Story of the game so far from Japan is that Endo has been terrible again (he played well against Italy) and Hosogai is no substitute for Hasebe (suspended) at DM so there's no link up play downfield.
Also it looks super hot and humid and no one seems terribly energetic.
― Plasmon, Saturday, 22 June 2013 20:02 (eleven years ago)
You were really excellent against Italy. I kinda feel the team needs a streak of nastiness in it though, either a really evil centre back or a deadeyed striker. They seem slightly too nice.
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 22 June 2013 20:03 (eleven years ago)
Well of course they're nice, they're Japanese. The only modern nation nicer than Canada IME. Their 2010 CBs were tougher but somehow they're not on the new coach's call up list. They've never had a world class striker.
Well deserved goal by Chicharito Ina beautiful cross, Mexico have controlled the entire 2nd half.
― Plasmon, Saturday, 22 June 2013 20:15 (eleven years ago)

― Le Bateau Ivre, Saturday, 22 June 2013 20:42 (eleven years ago)
Of course I switched off a minute before half time :o(
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 22 June 2013 20:46 (eleven years ago)
I missed the first half, heard everyone bitching about the match. But seen a miraculous assist by Balo, great free kick goal by Neymar and ruthless finish by Fred. I'm not complaining.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Saturday, 22 June 2013 20:47 (eleven years ago)
Fred 4-2
― Le Bateau Ivre, Saturday, 22 June 2013 20:49 (eleven years ago)
Japan switched to 3-4-3, still couldn't pass the ball through midfield. Okazaki was the only one who looked like he wanted to shoot. Playing most of the starters in a WC qualifier plus friendly against Bulgaria within a week or 2 of the trip to Brazil was probably a mistake.
Zannen!

Yeah ok, I'll give you that one Ludo :)
Just wish he could be more of a presence in Vitesse's squad. He's kept the bench warm a lot, in line behind Bony and Reis. Would like him to start more often, as I think he can bring a lot more than he is doing now.

Italy - Uruguay for 3rd place in front of a half empty stadium. Italy leads 1-0 at the half, Cavani levels it, Buffon makes an incredible double save on Forlan to preserve the tie during a spell of Urugauyan pressure, Diamanti scores an amazing free kick only to have Cavani equalize again on an even better free kick from even farther out. Beautifully open play, chances back and forth now, 10 minutes to go.
