Japan v Costa Rica : World Cup Match Thread 10am 27/11/22

A win and Japan go forward. A draw is probably enough.

Japan look clueless against a team who are sitting back.

I've seen this movie before...

Is it me or are the pitches beginning to look a bit destroyed

Not watching but still nil nil? What are Japan doing? A win and they're through

Edit: just worked out that the above isn't true

Cynical foul. Should be a red card.

Wow

1 nil rica. German reprieve.

First shot on target.

In the WC no less

Japan deserve that. Should have gone all out for the win. Haven't a chance of getting through now.

Joe Cole is right on the cusp of putting his foot in it with every sentence:

“See, the Japanese do that….culturally….in their …erm…. neck of the woods”

The world cup in a better place with Germany in the knockout rounds instead of Japan.

They’ll probably get through with one win, the scabby gets.

"They defend well as a unit 731" would be the first glitch words out of my mouth

Germany a much better team than their performance against Japan suggested. Wouldn't be shocked if they got a result against Spain.

Seriously wtf, Costa Rica barely looked as if they knew what a football was in the first game
