I don’t know why Borjan is playing and this isn’t a game for Piette who is just going to be way to slow in transition or on the ball.

Score the pen and we’d probably only be down 2-1,3-1. This is brutal.

That is a red

Interesting to see Japan in their current state they seem absolutely peaking lately have they made some significant investments into some areas like academy/structure in recent years ?

Player wise they’ve had a lot of good quality before aswell with sakai/nagatomo/hasebe/okazaki/honda it’s pretty impressive they’ve managed to build even further on a team that had those players around

Camera man nearly tripped himself on that ball.

hopefully Nakamura is okay, he was starting to play more comfortably with Stade De Reims

Aw man that does not look good, hopefully it’s just a bad strain…

that tackle is illegal in the NFL too

Sad to see him injured in a friendly match.

Bad tackle by Johnston

I’ve added links to videos of all the goals (from Twitter). If somebody wants to upload those separately (streamable?) and submit it to r/soccer, please do so!

Including this game, Japan has scored atleast 4 goals in a match 5 times in a row. WTF

why the fuck do we have Furuhashi still in this team he was given five chances too many

Already 1-0?

That started pretty much how I expected it to.

No Eustaquio. Pain.
