Netherlands v Japan

[Diamond]

Should be a good game.

Both teams like to play the proper game.

On paper Holland are clearly superior but Japan seem to be building a head of steam and Honda's coming good so you never know...

 

[ramjamclub]

my prediction Holland 3-Japan-0
hope I'm better than my prediction yesterday with England.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'm hoping Japan do well



















even if they do lose, which is what I'm expecting

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I'm backing the dutch too win, though this could easily be another upset...but it wont be....will it....?

 

[ramjamclub]

plenty of support

6000 Dutch fly to Durban plus over 40000 Dutch live in SA and most of them have tickets.
Hup Holland

 

[Lord Camomile]

I am envious of the Dutch orange, always looks brilliant

 

[Lord Camomile]

What the hell strip are those kids wearing?? They are gonna be confused lil' fuckers

Is the Japan anthem the Hovis theme

 

[mitochondria]

Go oranje!!

 

[ramjamclub]

Japanese trainer looks a shifty character

 

[ramjamclub]

good game

What a difference a day makes, Holland is playing football.

 

[nicksonic]

i don't think this will be straightforward.

 

[ramjamclub]

1st save made by a keeper, and it's by Holland

 

[mitochondria]

I need to roll a spliff before the 2nd half. That should make it more interesting...

 

[nicksonic]

oh dear, it's taken a turn for the turgid.

Just listened to it on Youtube.

Now have uncontrollable urge to make a wholewheat sandwich and buy a geiger counter.

 

[ramjamclub]

oh dear, it's taken a turn for the turgid.

Unfortunately I have to agree
They looked lively in the first 15 minutes then nothing for the Japanese keeper to do. He's only made one save, hardly got his gloves dirty.
Not another goalless draw I hope

And it was still better from both sides than England last night.

Unlike the Murphy's I'm fucking bitter

 

[editor]

Japan are a well solid team, with no shortage of skill, when it suits.

They're here for the draw today, though

[Silva]

Awful game so far. both teams seems pleased with going to the third match with 4 points.

 

[ramjamclub]

[butchersapron]

Wow, he hit that.

holland have no strikers though, no attacking focal point.

LOL, holland score as i post

 

[Dr. Furface]

Fucking goal Wessers!

 

[nicksonic]

Wow, he hit that.

take a bow son.

terrible 'goalkeeping' mind.

 

[ramjamclub]

this ref is pretty calm, not like the Mexican one giving yellow cards like confetti

 

[ramjamclub]

Elia in van der vaart out

 

[nicksonic]

really good chance for japan there.

 

[ramjamclub]

the result counts 1-0 well done Holland
