Come on Rickie you can do it!

Lot of pressure on him, but this is where his great temperament will see him through. He is determined to grab this chance so late in life.

 

[lamby]

He's clearly impressed with his attitude in training etc. Fingers croossed he gets another goal!

Maya playing for Japan against Guatemala. HT 0-0.

 

[Joe!]

Japan are such a disappointing team.

 

[CBK]

Japan are such a disappointing team.

Yep, they have good players, good technique, but whenever I've seen them, they pass it around in front of the opposition for ages before usually having a wild shot from 30 yards. They don't create enough chances in the box.


Hang on, major deja vu going on here....

Japan are such a disappointing team.

Yeah I always think that. They've got a whole load of exciting players, but never play like it.

Didn't their manager a while back say they were aiming for the semis in 2014? Not bloody likely.

Just seen online that after yesterday's U21 game, Luke had a photo with a Saints fan who travelled to the game.

Anyway, today he's found and tweeted this fan asking if they'd like his England shirt.

They said he shouldn't give it away as its a debut shirt, but he says he wore two so they can have the other one.

Good gesture from the lad.

If anyone is bored, there's a legal and free stream of Ghana v Zambia. Manny starts.
