Youve got to be fucking kidding me.

 

[Dark Rider]

Italy breaks the tie and scores the winner
Japan unlucky

 

[Mr.Swag]

Damn. I wanted Japan

 

[Ecliptor]

There's no justice in this world.

 

[sneakypete]

Nah, we don't hate Italy. Japan's showcasing and oustanding football tonight. And we're loving it. What a nice surprise!

But Italy is Italy... they'll probably win the game.

Commentators said the largest ex-pat group of Japs are in Brasil, something like 1.5 mil.

And that's that, good night Mexico.

 

[TangMeng]

NOOOOOO fuck you ref

 

[jamesinclair]

omh omg omwtwtwff

 

[criesofthepast]

Youve got to be fucking kidding me.

Sup.

~_~

 

[Ecliptor]

LOL poor Japan ;_;

 

[Mr.Swag]

When does Japan play again?

 

[elty]

Italy being Italy

 

[Dark Rider]

congrats to Italy
hard luck to Japan

I think a tie would've been more appropriate.

 

[Hieberrr]

When is the next match? I missed this one.

 

[jamesinclair]

GOTY starts in 315

Told you guys.


Spain-Tahiti
Nigeria - Uruguay

Tomorrow.

No games Friday.

 

[Tristam]

I only was able to catch the game from Balotelli's penalty onward....but holy shit, when did the Japanese get so good? They looked fucking sharp out there.

 

[sneakypete]

Great day today

 

[scottnak]

Unfortunate result... but what a fun game @.@

 

[survivor]

That was a great game, shame that Japan lost though.

 

[Hawkie]

Double figures for Spain v Tahiti?

Lineker haha "We're due a decent contest"....

 

[criesofthepast]

It seems Italy always have trouble with East-Asian teams. I think it is the speed.

Also horrible refs in games vs East-Asian teams.

 

[Randdalf]

Incidentally, how is it that no stadium has a net behind the goal? Isnt that stadium 101?

It would obstruct the view of the fans. A lot of European stadiums do have fencing though.

Honda deserves to play in a bigger league.

Honda deserves to play in a bigger league.

I believe he has refused to renew his CSKA contract so he's a free agent this summer.

Ive sat in stadiums with nets. You dont even notice it

 

[Sviatoslav]

His contract with CSKA ends in December( a relic from the days when the Russian League was on a March-December schedule).

Honda deserves to play in a bigger league.

I hate this attitude in general. In this specific case it's even more bullshit, it's not as if Honda is head and shoulders above the other players in Russia. He's not even the best attacking midfielder at CSKA.

Ah yes, thanks for the clarification.

He is usually a lot better than the rest of the national team. If Kagawa can play for Dortmond / ManU, Honda can do better than CSKA.

Spain already beat Uruguay so I don't think they will try too hard against them. Uruguay on the other hand, might have to compete with Nigeria on goal difference. I think we will see the most goals in the Uruguay vs Tahiti game.

I dont see why Spain would send out any of their A team. Would be reckless to do so.

 

[sneakypete]

C'mon Tahiti, you guys got this

 

[Wes]

Love that the crowd are getting behind Tahiti.

 

[Espresso]

Torres!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I got Tahiti winning this whole thing.

COME ON TAHITIANS!

 

[faridmon]

There is. Italy won.

He already plays in a big league...

 

[Kurtofan]

Torres lol

 

[Mr.Swag]

España bout to whoop dat ass right

 

[jamesinclair]

The stadium is full for this?

 

[Espresso]

I didn't realize that all but one player from Tahiti are not professionals. Even more impressive that they made it to Brazil.

Four of them are from the same family

Even more humiliating for New Zealand...

 

[Espresso]

Tahiti's playing quite well thus far. Roche, especially.

 

[sneakypete]

lol spain kinda look like garbage right now

 

[jett]

spain why u so boring

 

[Grover Cleveland]

lol at that Torres dive.

Spain looks like they're trying way too hard to not be disrespectful and blow this team off the pitch.

 

[Hawkie]

Not sure Torres 2013 edition would actually get into the Tahiti team

 

[$200]

The wage of every single player in the Spain team most likely far exceeds what the entire Tahiti team earns.

 

[sneakypete]

and pass, torezZz

 

[Espresso]

and pass, torezZz

You spoke too soon!

 

[Kurtofan]

looking ugly now.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

That's why teams park the bus against Spain.

But full credit to Tahiti for actually trying to push forward.

Looks like a training match.
