    I’d say that was deserved by Japan. They haven’t been letting the Dutch have an easy go at it, and have never looked like they’ll just accept defeat.

    Japan deserve that. Little ambition beyond a passive low block.

    Great goal from Summerville but great work from Gakpo also.
    Was that Van nistelrooy that Summerville ran over to celebrate with?

    Also wtf is that music they are playing?

    Also Hydration break!!

    The rule about players going down injured having to go off for a minute if they need a physio is a positive. Hardly any fellas rolling around or physios running on.

    I’m watching the Mexican broadcast on Telemundo, they are not showing commercials during the hydration break. Not sure what’s happening elsewhere.

    I have only seen RTE go for ads during the water break once...the very first one....

    I think they learnt their lesson quickly...

    Fox have been more than happy to go to ads the whole time.

    What does RTE know. "They have to change something on the corners, go short or something". Repeat and they get the goal from a corner.

    Japan have been blessed with 2 deflected goals

    Am I wrong, or is it three of the four goals have had accidental last-moment minor deflections on the way in?

    Netherlands gave the incentive to Japan the minute they took Somerville off and went to 3 at the back.
    If they lose it, it’s their own fault and I say that as someone who has them in the sweepstakes!

    Nah Netherlands made tactical decisions that handed a point to Japan.

    both can be true, Japan only played when behind and both their goals came off fortunate deflections

    Uruguay are due to play tomorrow and so far the team are being prevented from flying into the US due to procedural/admin issues apparently. Farce.
