Excellent match. Japan just played with so much spirit. Germany caught napping a few times and then couldn't equalise.

I had Japan as a dark horse in this cup. I hope they do well.

I don't see them outside of the world cup, but they always seem to give it 110%, sprint up and down the field the entire match to the point where all of them are struggling with cramps by the end, but never slacking off. I love their very positive vibe/energy they give off.

​

Didn't they lose during last championship precisely because of that? I think I remember them leading in score, but unlike tactical european teams, that would play defensively and wait for breaks, the japanese played offensively to the last minute and left holes in the defense for the opponent to turn the score around? I was absolutely hearthbroken for them.

They were incredibly naive vs Belgium. But arguably they just wanted to avoid Extra Time and thought they had a better chance to win in regulation. So idk.

What a crazy result, it’s close to as crazy as Argentina’s defeat

No it’s not… #11 losing to #24. The former was #3 losing to #51.

Eh fair enough, definitely a huuuge surprise tho, I do enjoy these results

Annajbanana t1_ixi5u0n wrote

You’re right though, in the scheme of things no one would have called it. It’s getting exciting now!

dershmoo t1_ixif7yv wrote

Actually many Germans would’ve called it. Our team sucks for quite a while now. Even after the 1-0 I told my friend we are still going to lose.

Spain is going to humiliate us again.

Germany blames it on no beer.

Germans wouldn’t drink that Budweiser piss anyway lol. We have echtes deutsches Bier hier!

alan01010101 t1_ixm7puz wrote

I agree, Budweiser is straight up tasteless piss beer. And they cost $20 plus per cup at the World Cup 2018.

Awesome. Let's get drunk on $200-$400 worth of Pisswasser!

What if these “upsets” are teams deliberately tanking to get the fuck out of Quartar

I think the nations league is an attempt by uefa to seperate from fifa a bit

Made me laugh! But honestly, if fifa doesn't fix things moving forward, i could see players losing interest like with USA basketball.

The Japanese team clean up on the field and off the field. Nice.

How does no one edit these articles..”For the second World Cup in a row Germany began their campaign in disastrous fashion, frittering away a first half lead to lose 2-1 to Spain.”

Please tell me I’m not the only one that sees an issue.

I see the Bluelock program is so far a success.

They played really well, yeah.

Germany's defense sort of collapsed, seeing as they allowed a shot like every 3-5 minutes by Japan before they scored.

To be fair, the germans lost on purpose to protest against the DFB, FIFA and the Qatar Championship.

There’s something quite satisfying about this result… maybe it’s the surprise aspect, or the underdog aspect, or the aspect that the German team has historically been associated with poor sportsmanship (at least in the 90s and early 2000s when I was paying attention to the World Cup).
