World cup balls are notorious for being lighter & moving more in the air than league standard balls. Doesn't take a genius to connect the dots & see why so many keepers parry it away.

Fuck! Thought they were gonna get the winner there.
Great attempt from that distance.
Ah FFS.
Auch, that's very sad for Japan. Gutted for them.
Wow.
Poor bastards. Gutted for them.
We should sign that Chadli bloke
I have plenty of egg left over on my face if you'd like to borrow it
Lovely dummy from lukaku
hahaha!
That's why I guess
I love De Bruyne
That ball he played on the break was perfection.

No thanks mate, I've no room for egg if I'm going to finish this humble pie.
What was on show is Belgium's Plan A and Plan B. Plan A - is to play a soft centred dynamic midfield, plan B is to play a hard cuntish midfield with Fellaini in the middle - Plan B is what England faced the other night because they know they can only play Plan A against what they think is weaker opposition. What Japan played was not too different to the style we play at Liverpool with that level of pressing - except Japan keep the ball much better.
Even when Japan were 2-0 up there was plenty of time for Belgium to come back and Japan should have taken any small chances they had to put the game out of sight - the ref got one of the decisions badly wrong with the linesman when Kompany fell on his arse in a dangerous position and for some fucking strange reason was given a free kick when Japan should have been allowed to play. Overall this game reminded me of a Sampras vs Agassi match at Wimbledon - Agassi matching Sampras and leveling the game and then Sampras wins easy by hitting his aces with Agassi unable to return - Belgium had to many aces to lose this game.
Belgium have a score to settle with Brazil - the last time they met in 2002 - Belgium were denied some clear cut decisions by the ref, Brazil should not have won that game but they did with all the decisions going in their favour - it was unjust. This time I really don't think Brazil have much of a chance.
