FIFA WC 26 - Other Nations LIVE Match Thread ⚽

I think this is getting better traffic than the General thread, so am posting here - but full Round of 32 kits/matchups announced - and certainly a couple choices in there.


This is the one that's most baffling to me (despite how nice the Japan away kit is)

Why is it baffling? Well, Japan's home kit is Blue/White/Blue and doesn't clash.

in fact, it's essentially what's being used/allowed for France v Sweden

In away kits are:
Canada, Paraguay, Morocco, Japan, Norway, Belgium, Portugal, and Croatia.

The other intersting choice is Ecuador going banana against Mexico, despite Navy Blue shorts not clashing with White?
Brazil vs Japan is going to be tough watching on my black and white telly.
 
Japan and Brazil now underway in their World Cup round of 32 game, with Japan kicking from right to left and Brazil kicking from left to right.
 
Kaishu Sano yellow carded in the 12th minute for Japan for a foul, becoming the first player to receive one this match.
 
Casemiro yellow carded in the 14th minute for Brazil for a foul, becoming the first Brazil player and second player overall to receive one.
 
1:0 Japan. Sano with a great run and goal. Mainz will sell him for a massive fee.

Brazil with the stupidest midfield pass essentially to the ref and Sano easily takes it and runs 25m as Brazil can't get their shape at the back.
 
Casemiro with a poorly timed charge and couldn't track for the goal and now he loses it and runs alongside during a dangerous counter. Japan having an easy day with his shortcomings.
 
Another long hit. Nestory should be licking his lips, but Popa gotta let him
Irankunda needs to stop shooting from 30 metres whenever he feels. We need to shoot but not be wasteful. I think we need to try this often against Egypt and our players run through for defections and spills.
 
Daichi Kamada yellow carded in the 45th minute for Japan for a foul, becoming the second Japan player to receive one this match.
 
Four minutes of first half stoppage time in Japan's World Cup round of 32 match against Brazil.
