    Netherlands are playing at a snail's pace.

    I wonder how tempted the top brass at ITV were to run adverts when they have these "hydration breaks"?
    Not sure. It would present a v unfavourable comparison with the BBC coverage

    Disappointing so far. The dutch are having a lot of possession but doing very little with it. Japan look much more lively when they get the ball, but are rarely able to threaten. Hopefully things improve second half.

    The Dutch are so slow in their build up play, reminds me of England.

    Is it just my perception or have there been far fewer offsides in this WC in comparison to English games?

    The constant noise in the stadium seems to be coming from the Japanese fans too.

    That's the 3rd quarter over with. Time for a quick hotdog. Then all ready for the final quarter plus overtime. First down and 10. Go team.

    Will they punt on fourth downs or go for it?

    Memphis Depay. Sneaking impossibly into tournament squads for a decade now despite being Memphis Depay. Inspirational

    Are you lot back home getting the same video feed as us emigrants?

    I can’t be the only getting the hump at all the “supporters” seemingly more preoccupied with filming themselves at the game and showing how “passionate” they are rather than actually watching the bloody game. Feels like 70% or the people they cut to in the crowd have their phone in front of their face. 

    I can understand the urge to show off that you’re there, so by all means share a photo of you inside the stadium but surely, and especially after paying record ticket prices to get in, you’re there to watch the game not watch yourself on a screen while you pretend to watch the game. 

    I’m getting too old for this shit/game’s gone etc.

    Very poor goalkeeping, glad Japan equalised though, they deserved it (contrary to the bollocks Ally McCoist was spouting 10 minutes ago about Japan being terrible and Netherlands great).

    Expect these two to be 1st and 2nd in the group, so could end up making the difference to who plays who.

    Japan scoring a headed set piece goal against the Netherlands is a surprise.

    Japan a good side. No shame in conceding a header to Van Dijk and a worldie. 

    Think they’ll be a right pain for anyone this tournament.
