Japan's got to get away from these dead balls around their box, free kicks and corners. They're getting killed in the air. Their keeper does not look confident back there.

Chadli looks decent. Have said on the transfer thread that his stats for West Brom season before last we’re similar to Arnie for Stoke. Him being injured is major factor in West Brom’s fall from grace.

Some of the refs from lesser countries have been poor, but this one has had a decent game (so far)

Kawashima never met a ball he wanted to catch. Fair play to him, he's made some big saves in the last few minutes.

The chased Belgium down in the first 20-30 minutes, but repeatedly gave the ball away, and were lucky not to concede. They got better as the game went on, and came out guns blazing for the 2nd half
