Loving the fact you can hear the Japanese commentary team going ape shit in the background of The BBC feed..... (well I could with my AirPods on listening online).

No more than the Japanese deserve.

Japan!!

This World Cup is showing that you need energy in your team. The sides with classy veterans but a lack of energy are struggling

ForeverAddickted

Gettin, would love to see Japan advance here

Absolutely- wonder if teams could have got away with it a bit in a summer world cup when a load of teams are knackered?

Would expect Croatia to fade.more than Japan second half so tough now they're chasing it.

Callumcafc

Japan’s first HT lead in a World Cup in 10 matches. Their first first half goal in 6.

I've really enjoyed watching Japan in this competition, they're a busy energetic team that keeps going

philcafc

Hardly deserved but a great header. Game on now.

Lincsaddick

Japan is surely the fittest and fastest team in Qatar

Lincsaddick

and we know the Croats just will not give up, ever

Unsurprisingly the best RO16 game so far

First game that's gone 1-1 rather than 2-0 helps!

To be fair I thought this would be the first entertaining one, even when the RO16 was confirmed

Brazil/Korea could be a good one as well ..

Portugal vs Switzerland definitely will - Morocco vs Spain has potential

all the sparring is over, it's now down to knockout or be knocked out, the real stuff

Looks like Brazil have the easiest quarter of the draw.

Lincsaddick

Japan's defence is very vulnerable in the air

Sshhh... Only England get easy draws.

I always thought the second ground of R16 games looked more competitive than the first group. Very small odds on penalties now, I can see this game petering out

I predict Portugal Switzerland will be a bore fest.
