japan vietnam 3-2 at half time, unexpectedly fun. was halfway through half-assing an asian cup thread (i know very little about asian football beyond wanting to marry heung-min son) before i remembered we have this one

It’s weird, feels like Japan put out the B-side this game, and gave up two set pieces in the first half, and gave up two goals. Wild.

It’s ending 4-2, Kubo came on and helped create a final goal. Japan’s third is the pick of the bunch.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Excited for this clash of the titans, Syria vs Australia

The Syrians have sharp haircuts and strong anthem game, the Australians have the power of Subway Eat Fresh. Should be a close one

Its part that, but also part that Brazil simply doesn't produce midfielders anymore (other than defensive midfielders). It's a reaction to the way Europeans scout players. Euro teams look at physical attributes and things like speed to snatch up young players. So that is what every team in Brazil is going for, fast wingers.

Honestly not mad at the Hendo pick, he has been playing well for Ajax from what I've seen and he is probably the locker room leader. Maguire has been good for United, even won player of the month when he was fit. Actually low key one of his better seasons.Happy he finally dropped Kalvin Philips, there is a world where if Philips stayed in City he would get in the squad because Gareth wouldn't have seen him look like one of the worst signings of the year so far.

Apparently Ben White was called up but refused. Colwill not showing up is weird since he has been playing alot and been called up in the past.

The most minutes Big Kal has played for West Ham this season is 71, and he was sent off for two yellows in three minutes in that one

Gigi Galli

and then the car turned in to fire
Loftus-Cheek and Tomori are probably not going to oust any of those players and RLC is a glass cannon. Great when he's on but if you look at him wrong his leg crumbles to dust.

I know that even if they were both top players in their respective positions they'd still be ignored but there is a decent excuse this time.
