Danny Rose starting for GB. smh Pearce.

Re-working my fantasy team, somehow I've ended up with £8m and one defender slot free.

 

[GorillaJu]

This Japan team is incredible. They're 1 man up but it looks like its 13 vs. 10. They're everywhere and the one-touch passing is silky smooth.

They almost deserve to concede. Why? They should be 2-3 goals up by now.

 

[Slizz]

Floaty ball physics in PES. Shit seems like its a beachball instead of a football.


Mexico Korea game is pretty fuckin boring. How come Mexico looks like ass?

 

[Sloosha]

Come on Koo. Got to do better then that.

 

[KidA Seven]

Great pass from KBK.


Spain's defense looking shaky.

Really impressed with them. Looks like Kagawa's going to be one of many more high quality imports.

Japan playing really well.

 

[Meier]

Gio Dos Santos just looks poor these days. And a little tubby.

 

[Salvadora]

Commentators just said Japan has never beaten Spain in a tournament.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Is this the beginning of the end for Spain's top dog status?

 

[Fintan]

Very impressed with Japan. Only thing lacking is their finishing on those chances. Their passing is great, though.

 

[Broder Salsa]

No. But lets all pray it is.

Floaty ball physics in PES. Shit seems like its a beachball instead of a football.

One of the many things that the PS2 PESs got spot on, and both FIFA and PES have failed horribly with this generation. It may not have been completely realistic, but it faithfully represented the feeling of smashing, curling, tapping, volleying or heading a ball

 

[Hixx]

Jiiiiiiiiiiiii

get a haircut lad.

 

[Sloosha]

Ji Ji Ji Ji baby baby baby.

 

[GorillaJu]

Man I want this Kiyotaki lad. Think he looks brilliant.

Ji Ji Ji Ji baby baby baby.

Don't... don't do this... :'(

That sound has followed me through every walk of my life since it came out. I can't escape.

 

[BlindCommunication]

Bad blow for Japan, Sakai out.

PES2013 has a pretty good representation of a solid contact blast, but thats about it. Your first touch in that game is horrendous, ball will float 3meters off your chest or foot...

 

[Meier]

Huh, so Spain-Japan has no commentary on the NBC site. I guess it just allows you to watch the events that they're not actively broadcasting.

Edit: Looks like that was because I'd originally picked it as a simulcast in the other window. Reloaded and now I get the audio commentary track.

 

[Timurid]

does Japan still have that white guy on their team?

 

[Zabojnik]

If his football career doesn't take off, Daisuke Suzuki should look into japanese soap operas.

tactics, playing guys out of position, and having an out of form striker in the starting line-up all because of dumbass Tena.

 

[GorillaJu]

There are a number of white-looking half-Japanese players on the national team. Not sure about the olympic team though.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Man, Japan are up in Spain's ass constantly.

 

[Sloosha]

Oh god, that was close. I'll take the draw.

 

[Hixx]

Is Ji pissed? Horrendous play, Mexico hit the post...

 

[Timurid]

Do those players still get abuse from Japanese fans?

 

[Sloosha]

Wish LCY had made the cut.

 

[Zevenberge]

Spain almost made the equaliser. Japan has to keep up a few more minutes.

 

[GorillaJu]

Do those players still get abuse from Japanese fans?

Not sure. I've never heard a bad word spoken about any of them, but I don't hang out with assholes.

 

[Zabojnik]

Mata is on another level ...

I'm in, just need to stop forgetting to make my team!

 

[Timurid]

Not sure. I've never heard a bad word spoken about any of them, but I don't hang out with assholes.

I remember reading some article about a white player who was receiving abuse during a friendly from home fans.

So I know of that Brasilian (who doesn't play anymore?)

Then the huge Dutch-Japanese, born in Japan (Mike Havenaar)

And the half German, half Japanese who was born in NYC, lol (Gotoku Sakai)

Anyone else unusual looking?

That was guy i was reading about Mike Havenaar.

There is Lee, who is half-Korean. Scored the winning goal for Japan against Australia in the Asian Cup

 

[Meier]

You guys weren't kidding about Japan's passing. Precision.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I'm in, just need to stop forgetting to make my team!

You're in when I say you're in

 

[Hindle]

This Japan side could be a force in the future. Im impressed so far.

 

[GorillaJu]

You guys weren't kidding about Japan's passing. Precision.

It's calmed down quite a bit, too. The midfield three were pinging it around at a super high tempo, all one touch.

 

[Timurid]

Is Miyaichi on the bench?

 

[Brinbe]

De God

 

[Slizz]

Good save from De Gea. Japan player shoulda gotten cheeky and lifted it.

 

[Zevenberge]

Another "100% chance" wasted.

 

[GorillaJu]

Is Miyaichi on the bench?

He is with Arsenal on their pre-season tour.

 

[Labadal]

Dem misses!

 

[BlindCommunication]

Nagai can't score today, his finishing is terrible. Granted, he does take advantage of Spain central defense pretty easily. Romeu was as slow as a snail there.

 

[K1LLER7]

japan: the new spain
