Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Germany and Japan has kicked off!
  • 5' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - Ilkay Gundogan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 39 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 15' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' - 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 Daizen Maeda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kaoru Mitoma made 326 appearances and scored 44 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
