Live comments

  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Germany is hosting Japan for another epic battle.
  • 5' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Germany that had 162 games and scored 27 goals.
  • 10' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 15' - It’s high time Hansi Flick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - 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 Kaoru Mitoma suffering a number of foals already.
  • 33' - What a strike from Ilkay Gundogan! The score is 1-0.
  • 38' - 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.

  • 46' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Takefusa Kubo by Takehiro Tomiyasu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Kai Havertz! The score is 2-0.
  • 54' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Shuichi Gonda made 223 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 57' - Time for substitution for Japan. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
