Why on earth did the replay pause? The guy is so onside he's Hawaii!

Gabriel Martinelli scores in the sixth minute of second half stoppage time for Brazil to give them a 2-1 lead. Bruno Guimaraes with the assist.

Japan have 60 Seconds and they're throwing on 2 players and going all forward.

[grazorblade]

what an incredible half from Brazil

 

[JS96]

Brazil win. Yes it's Brazil but all that investment, analysis and preparation for it to come down to another set of defensive lapses by Japan.

 

[jas88]

Japan looked good for that opening half once they sat off they gave the game away. Looked much more comfortable in possession.

Australia left as the last light of Asia

Brazil got the job done 2-1 over Japan in their World Cup round of 32 game to secure progression to the round of 16, with the result meaning that Japan continue to have never won a knockout game at the World Cup.

Brazil able to counter press for the full 90 minutes, seriously impressive physically

2:1 Brazil in the final minute of added time.

Feel for Japan, wanted them to win and do well.

 

[JS96]

So how did that goal happen? Same lapse of concentration like against Belgium in 2018. Instead of putting the ball in a safe area they've dribbled in front of the box, lost it and hit marked up wrongly.

Sugawara has to be goal side there and he's fresh off the bench so it isn't mental fatigue.

Just another chapter in their terrible tournament ROI. Good team but they've invested so much for very few trophies.

That ending really made me appreciate the socceroos willingness to boot the ball up the fucking field to noone to relieve pressure and reset our shape.

What the fuck was that lmaooo. You're so close to extra time! HOOF IT.

 

[JS96]

So since 2006 for Japan it's been 2 bottom placings, 2 woeful shootouts and 2 final minute eliminations. Cursed at the final hurdle. The fans surely knew it was coming yet again.

In 2018 they had a corner in the final seconds against Belgium and decided to kick it into the box. Belgium caught it and went 100m to score. While you'd think just try and win it then and there, roll it to your man and the ref blows after a throw in.

What makes that even worse is I remember that entire game they pretty much lost every single aerial duel but they still decided to go for that corner.
