You'll have to agree an accord

He would be a Hero, Honda....[bike pun].

Kompany seems to be in serious decline now. Injuries really look to have taken their toll over the last season or so.

Different game this second half.

Japan scored and Belgium had to stop pissing about.
If they do make it through this, then it'll be interesting to see if they go back to it in the next match.

C'mon Japan!!

What? Go direct or go back to pissing about?

Belspurs and belexspurs win it for belgium

The Bel-Spurs save the day.

Bollox

Oh **** off Belgium.

This.

Great game, that.

Nacer, Nacer Chadli!

Japan shouldn't have bothered with that corner.

I predicted 3-0 to the Belgians in this match. Unless there is an outbreak of hari kari in the Japaneese ranks, I can't see that happening. I might go and paint the cat so I can watch it dry.

As I was saying, no chance of Belgium scoring 3

Japan were a revelation

You must log in or register to see media

Or as Coco would put it "you Pussy!!"
Neymar may be a good footballer but he's a pathetic individual.
If he reacts to minor pain like this , I feel sorry for his tattoo artist

Belspurs and belexspurs win it for belgium

They were bellendspurs for the first two thirds of that game.
I hope they start better v Brazil

Chadli didn't play the first two thirds

Martinez's decision to leave Nyarlathotep out of his squad and play De Bruyne deep was really vindicated last night...once he stopped pissing about trying to get every Big Name™ into the starting lineup regardless of how that drastically weakens what those players can offer and instead played a team that plays to the strengths of everyone (except Lukaku, apparently)

He's hardly the first Belgium coach to make this mistake, as Marc Wilmots was playing Verts and Toby as fullbacks to accommodate them alongside Vermaelen and Kompany, and until one of De Bruyne or Hazard retires/flounces out from international football the problem will continue.

Nacer was great yesterday.
Apart from the few super goals we got from him, did he
ever give a performance like that in a Spurs shirt ??

I think he did but not every week, one in four or one in five only.

Other than his goal I don't recall him doing anything else - which also happens to be a fair description of his time as a Spurs player.
