Japan vs Colombia (Group C) Tuesday 24th June 2014

[Lord Camomile]

Right, I did a search for this one and everything, but we have got to half time without a thread for this match.

Japan with a very well taken header to equalise just before half time, if they win this and Greece win theirs then the Blue Samurai are through

Bloody annoying putting two matches on at the same time. I've recorded it, and I'm just going to watch Greece vs Ivory Coast on fast forward

they have to as they are the last 2 matches in the group, and they don't want a repeat of the dastardly Germany/Austria draw in 82 which put the Algerians out

that said - Germany and the US can play out a draw and both qualify

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bugger.

They didn't teach us any swear words when I studied a Japanese in May, so I'm just going to have to stick with, bugger.

C'moooon, Nihooon!

 

[Silva]

investing in Colombian players was the best idea the Porto board had since Mourinho

 

[Lord Camomile]

Japan enjoying some pressure, but need to make it count.

Hells, almost get caught on the break and now have to defend a corner...

Colombia are playing some good football in the Group stages, I hope they'll thrash Uruguay in the knockout stages... now they are bringing on a 43 year old goalkeeper

 

[Lord Camomile]

Colombia, with the game all but won, bring on a 43 year old goalkeeper!

Japan have suffered a bit of the Englands, a fair bit of positive play but too often chance break down before they get anywhere, and they haven't taken enough of the chance they have had.

Lovely goal

A friend of Andres Escobar.

Proper football moment (more so after that Suarez bollocks).

And now that goal.

Colombia

 

[Lea]

Colombia looking quite good so far or have they been placed in one of the easier groups?

 

[Gingerman]

And to think their best player Falcao is out injured.......

I'd honestly be tipping them to win the whole thing if Rada was fit.

 

[Silva]

I could watch this all night long.

Was great to see Mondragon (coolest name in football ever) come on. Pulled off a great save too.
