[Longboard Horn 40284]

Japan leads 2-1... god dammit

[SpiralOut 1813]

What. The. Fuck.

 

[alincoln 2371]

Can we hire Japan's manager

[Captain Ron 12862]

OH SNAP!!!

[alincoln 2371]

Shades of Donovan against Slovenia

[Pato del Muerto 52484]

Shiesse 

[Zepol87 9185]

Japan on them. That was a great first touch and run with no pussy falling down because of a jersey pull

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 943]

Jesus, what was Neuer doing on that?

[Surly Bevo 24908]

So it WAS over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor

[CooterBrown 18001]

Jesus, what was Neuer doing on that?

Avoiding the ball.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Come on Japan, finish them!

[Brisketexan 105043]

That was a helluva chip shot. The krauts do be in a bit of trouble. Two disappointing cups in a row?

Show the game you morons. 

[hookemATL 11700]

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, über alles in der….

Scheisse!!!!!

[DanTheHorn 4913]

Here comes a 10 minute blitzkrieg

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 943]

These camera angles and replays are top top.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Injury time

 

 

 

 

[ztejas 43411]

Don't cry for me Argentina (and Germany)

[SpiralOut 1813]

Anyone else loving the fact that they're actually adding all the missed time to the end of the halves now?  Hopefully it stops all the time wasting bullshit.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Sad that Germany are left to beg for desperate VAR overturns. Get up and play. 

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 943]

If Germany thought they had trouble with land wars in Asia - it’s a good thing they never made it as far East as the Korean Peninsula.

Die Mannscheisse

[Zepol87 9185]

Buddy is at the game he said this Japan fans are by far the loudest he's seen. He went to the USA and Mexico games as well.

Die Mannscheisse

 

Their attack is really anemic. None of those guys scare you. Mueller was past his prime in the last WC. 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Ippon bitches!

[CooterBrown 18001]

[alincoln 2371]

Agree.  This is what you get with Havertz as your 9

[Captain Ron 12862]

Well that was unexpected.

[Longboard Horn 40284]

WHAT THE FUCK GERMANY?! Once again in the cup losing in the group stage to a team they weren't supposed to..... mother... fucker....

[SpiralOut 1813]

Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!

[Horn80 6114]

Outstanding Japan!

their XG today was 3.27. They created tons of chances but the Japan keeper made some nice saves and Germany missed a few. 

[The Original Greaser Bob 2819]

ha ha fuck you Germany.

[Horn80 6114]

Bet that cut deep in Germany.  Sweet

[DanTheHorn 4913]

Damn that is two down and England to go.

[The Original Greaser Bob 2819]

Had forgotten last cup's Schadenfreude.  This one feels better.

 

[Valmy77 13225]

Banzai!!

Looking that way. And really disappointing for this team, which really should be in the quarterfinals every time (at least).

There’s obviously some rot in der Mannschaft.

For an anemic attack It took a ton of saves plus the goal post to keep them to one.

Wasn't really Schadenfreude. Mexico is a good team and far better than Japan.

The US results against both strongly suggest otherwise

[Enchubben 5510]

Germany looked wayyy too patient, but yes Japan was a bit lucky to not give up 1-2 goals in the second half. Germany just couldn’t finish I thought Japan actually looked really good though too.
 

Perhaps the perception of Germany’s strength is a tad bit due to previous cups and this team isn’t what it used to be. I have Belgium going far, so hopefully the buck the trend of favorites getting upset early.

That didn't age well. 

How? It landed on Japan after the one to one tie when I said it. A toss up both had equal chance to win it. Japan was no longer looking like an underdog.

I mean that's kind of the issue. They aren't very clinical.
