The commentators just annoyed me! "Do you applaud them or call them stupid for keeping on trying?" What kind of question is that.. It's amazing they've kept pressing until the end!

I look forward to your emergency call-up to the Curaçao squad!

Happy for him to be scoring freely, but would much rather he be doing it in an Arsenal shirt 😬

Ummmmmmmmmm😅

Anhedonia2

Well that didn't go how I wanted 😒

Japan better not let me down later!

WhatThe

I blame the ref for giving away all those penalties.

Adrian_Scope

Well, at least it wasn’t 8.

Bluebell21

There is that.

WhatThe

I never imagined having to choose between football and washing up! The football won. At least I won't have to watch any more 😂

WhatThe

This has been fun 😊

I'll wish you all the best of luck 🏆️ and remember, it's not the winning but the taking part that counts!

I think so too :)

Really excited for this, when I’ve watched Japan games they really go for it :)

Me too @yellowpineapple84.

These two are much more evenly matched.

I am definitely not going to even try predicting this one..... 😀😊

Bluebell21

Unlucky for Japan.

I wish Netherlands would stop kicking the ball backwards.

Scooby222

The Dutch appear to be playing Walking Football.

kreacher

not much excitement in the first half, Japan had a couple of chances, maybe both teams are just saving the goals until the second half

Bluebell21

Let’s hope so.

That’s putting it kindly!

That half was pedestrian in the extreme.
