Hah yep.

First game I was thinking " Oh right, this is why I don't watch football." Croatia just passing the ball around in the neutral zone. Both those teams looked horrible.

Second game was great. Both teams pushing pace and lots of skill shown on both sides. Go Japan! Woo! I made a bet Japan would win 2:1 here in China. Oh the dirty looks I got!

K that was amazing, dropping my kid off at school when Japan scores their 2nd goal. Got her up early enough to hear 'Kimi gai yo' (JPN ntl anthem) at 5:55am. When they scored my daughter started going bezerk and then took a tumble since everything covered in ice this morning. Other kids looking at her like 'what the...'

What a great win for Japan!

It really can’t be overstated how big that loss is. It’s not like they have two easy games in the group after this that can get them to 6 points.

This means they pretty much have to beat Spain now and take all three points.

Germany absolutely dominated the first half. Then I fell asleep during halftime and missed most of the 2nd and I see the score line.

The World Cup of Upsets

(Except France and England)

Germany couldn't handle the stamina of Japan. And breaks in the midfield/defense occurred because of it. Japan picked their chances and did it well.

I had a job interview scheduled for 11am. Guess I'm going to miss a bit of the first half.

I mean you should never let up in the WC, but you can tone down the celly. No need for the knee slide when you’re killing a team.

I've never felt like a more Qatari, Arab, African, gay, disabled migrant worker. Let's do this.
