Honestly thought they'd cause more errors from Spain with their pressing but Spain been relatively comfortable.

Was reading the other day that Japanese media think their manager is a tactical dinosaur and doesn't let the team do enough creatively relative to their talent.

That 1st half would seem to bear those reports out.

Tbf, the way Spain are playing, dont think it matters how Japan sets up or what tactics they employ, Spain are just too good all over the pitch for them.

Verdad, España es increíble.

Awful goalkeeping, shit pass then Lonerganesque biscuit fingers/wrists.

It's the one position they've never really settled since Casillas got old.

Oh man.

NO WAY

Surely that won't stand but oh man what if this is given

 

[Jack Regan]

Good decision.

 

[Alan]

Drat, definitely went out.

 

[WsWolf]

Good decision.

It was but how the hell did he see it? Imo he's got to have guessed which is not what they should be doing.
