The first game I have seen in a longtime where I felt bad for whoever might lose. This Japan team was underrated
@jafarlute63944 жыл бұрын
I remember watching this game live back in 2018 .. Not a dull moment in the second half .. no time wasting .. no passive defensive tactics .. 49 minutes of joy and excitement .. Amazing performance by Japan .. But the winning goal was a masterpiece .. a lesson in counter attack and team play .. Some people blame Japan for being overconfident and letting their guard down .. I'd rather give credit to Belgium for the third goal .. I don't think it's easy to score a goal like this if it was another team .. That was fantastic ..
@uglyjihad3 жыл бұрын
yeah i agree with all of this, and it wasnt japan being too overconfident, it was belgium managing to find the weakspots quickly and exploit them with fellaini and lukaku
@Wyzzkyd3 жыл бұрын
I thought the winning goal was atrocious defending from Japan, they were all over the place and opened up all sorts of holes for Belgium. Especially the guy who was right on Meunier, but leaves him to close down on de Bruyne. They were running on fumes not just physically but mentally, but in all fairness the Belgians were too strong.
@jafarlute63943 жыл бұрын
@@Wyzzkyd I agree .. Poor defending and Honda shouldn't have played the corner kick like this in the first place .. However .. I've seen so many opportunities for counter attacks being horribly wasted .. Either by selfish players or by low stamina .. Actually I think Lukaku realized that its not his lucky day ( he wasted many opportunities that night ) so he decided to leave the ball for Cahdli instead of trying his luck .. some other strikers wouldn't leave a loose ball like this for a teammate ..

Then, once Meunier has it, Lukaku shows back to the ball opening up the space at the back post for Chadli, and to top it all off, he even dummies the ball through for him. This was my favorite game of the 2018 World Cup and I think the 2018 World Cup was the best World Cup I've had the pleasure of watching (out of 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018... I watched in 1994 and 1998 but I was too young to understand everything and since I'm American I didn't have anyone to explain the sport to me). In addition to Chadl'is amazing goal, Japan's second goal was truly exceptional, too. What a crazy shot, it was such a pure strike that the ball didn't rotate a single time on the way in.

Belgium roared when our Red Devils scored that final goal but our hearts bled for the Japanese players, who equally deserved to win. We are fully aware of that fact. After the 0-2 most of thought it was over. Only the maturity and teamwork of the Red Devils assured our victory. Not many teams could come back from a 0-2 but they managed to do just that. Greatest of respect to the Japanese players also. They grabbed us by the throat at the start of the match. They fought like honorable warriors and never relented in their attacks. They kept their game up to the very last. Together, both our teams played one of the most beautiful and fair matches that were ever played during a World Cup. Too bad there had to be a winner.

No, the best comeback in the world cup was in the final of Switzerland, 1954. Germany defeat Hungary 3-2 , after 0-2.

When Japan plays a game, it’s like watching an anime. Long story and breath taking.

Definitely one of the best match I've ever watch, really no dull moment. Both team played well. The players, the referees & the gameplay of course.

How didn’t they win this World Cup what a squad they had
As a die-hard Belgian Supporter, I had nothing but respect to Japan. Seeing their lineup for that World Cup, I had such high hopes for them, and I cheered them on. Sadly, they went up against my Belgium. And sadly, that seemed like the end of an era for Japan, with Keisuke and Shinji getting old.

강한 팀을 두려워하지 않는 일본 대표팀의 정신력이 멋집니다. 물러설 곳이 없어 싸워야만 했던 2018 독일전과 16강에 올라서고 무서워서 아무것도 하지 못했던 한국 대표팀을 보면 안타깝다는 생각이 든다.
