Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Khalifa International Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Germany and Japan.
  • 5' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Germany does not make any changes. Manuel Neuer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - Ao Tanaka needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' - Germany is showing some good football. However, Germany are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Maya Yoshida suffering a number of foals already.
