"So tenacious, these Japanese players."

Is that the Japanese equivalent of African players being "dynamic"?

 

[mack]

[N_igma]

[nicksonic]

[TrippyLondoner]

[Lord Camomile]

[Maggot]

Get In You Endo!

[Diamond]

 

[Shreddy]

Fucking hell. Again!!!!!

 

[Lo Siento.]

Damn these overrated europeans....

Left out Slovakia!

Has been a particularly rubbish crop mind - along with Italy and France (and England) being utter shite, if you think of some of the non-big-guns who've come from Europe: the Rumania of Hagi, the Bulgaria of Stoichkov, the Cz Republic of Nedved and Poborsky, the Croatia of Suker and Boban, the Denmark of the Laudrups. Ukraine were quarter finalists in 2006!

they're small, therefore tenacious. African players are big, therefore dynamic and athletic, but naive when losing. Apparently.

I'm watching the wrong game with this Cameroon/Holland malarkey aren't I?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

yes but you've probably missed the best of the action, not that there wont be anymore to come mind you.

 

[Diamond]

Imagine a front pairing of Honda and Jong-Tae Se...

 

[belboid]

oh well, good goal from Van Persie

hope you didn't turn over, holland just scored!!

 

[DRINK?]

He's got a good engine that Honda

 

[TrippyLondoner]

hope you didn't turn over, holland just scored!!

bet he did

 

[Diamond]

That would have been ridiculously good.

Apparently the Japanese federation has a 100 year plan while the base of their footballing philosophy is said to be the Brazilian style.

 

[Shreddy]

They've got a Japanese Ronaldo and Beckham

"Ronaldo and Beckham"...by way of Kagoshima Prefecture!!!

 

[girasol]

I thought I'd support Japan tonight because their supporters were wearing briliant outfits, my strategy is working so far...

 

[Diamond]

The Japanese must have the best hair in the tournament too.

 

[Augie March]

I'm supporting Japan because my missus has been randomly saying 'Japan for the win' since their first game.

 

[editor]

Japan have been pretty much awesome in the first half. Incredible fitness and resolve.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

fucking loving this world cup.

 

[belboid]

blimey, impressive free kicks from the japs

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Jan Molby is brilliant on the radio. No sentiment there – Denmark outplayed!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Fair play too holland so far btw, only big european team not to have any real troubles at all. Anyone know if robbens back from injury yet?

 

[London_Calling]
