Japan vs Sweden

Good luck Caramba.

Thanks. I'm all for fielding 5 defenders (it worked well against Ukraine in the playoffs). Not sure about starting Elanga.

I expect overs in both of these games but the odds are prohibitively low.   Not sure which game to watch, maybe I'll start off with the Japan game.

Ok, went for overs in Japan game at 1.9 and a small over 3.5 in Netherlands game at 2.06.

Just take all your winnings from the last game, let it ride on Sweden to win. hth..

I think Japan will do them. I don't rate Sweden's manager.

FFS too many random women analysts in the men's game. My mute button is getting a real workout this World Cup.

Forgot all about Potter..

Japan often seem to look really good early on and then start getting progressively less impressive as they go along. I think Sweden will get a result here. Whether it will be the win they need, I'm not sure, but Japan not all that imho.

1-0 Netherlands already.

Backed Gyökeres to score 2 or more at 10/1 for a bit of interest, just because he's an Arsenal player and no other reason.

The insufferable Chris Sutton on Co-Comms

0-2

good morning, i have no view , some strange results :D

should be a yellow

Good evening.

good eveening, i want to bet USA 1x2 but feel like it'll be another fav turned over

Guaranteed top playing guaranteed bottom is swerve job winner, 2nd string teams, anything could happen

this is a fairly even match so far

Japan way better technically.

Funny... I'm on Sweden and I'm happy how things are going up to now...

Feeling each other out so far..

Suzuki Swift for a goalkeeper.

I'm seeing 0-0 ht...

Yeah, looks NAILED ON.

Winner plays Brazil.. Loser plays France.. Not really much to kill yourself for.

ref wants him off the pitch, not happening.

Ok, this game is crap. Might switch over to Dutch game.

Ok this game is craap. I'm switching over to Dutch game. ffs I got censored for writing "craap" the correct way.

sweden need a win, or they're out, I think.

Sweden need to get thrashed to be worried about elimination..

4-0 to be worse than Scotland..

they only have one point so far, unless I'm mistaken, 2 points will not be enough.

Sweden on 4pts with this draw, a draw sees them through

Sweden beat Tunisia 5-1.

Sooner sweden go out the better not here to play at all joke of a game

apologies, I'm wrong, they have 3 points.

Unforgiveable mistake Des

Sweden need to bring Ljungberg on for some width

indeed/

In all seriousness, Abba is actually right, there was no intensity to Sweden's play whatosever, they are clearly happy with this draw, only Japan going ahead will make them spring into life, Japan are the only team that look like they have some intent with their attack.

pish

both appear to be conserving energy, which is not a bad idea. Even Japan are struggling to maintain intensity in this heat.

keep writing that word. Moderators have to review every post when that word is written. Maybe if they keep having to do this they will come to their senses and stop censoring or at the very least let the post go through but with **** instead of the bad word.

this is a crapforum with how they censor stuff.

Potter's still done well though, to get them through the play offs against two tricky sides in Ukraine and Poland, and then through the groups with limited time, is probably over-achieving, they'd probably be further advanced by now as a team if they'd have had not employed that Danish guy in the first place, surprised they even hired him, would be like England hiring a Jock.

Sweden can go for it, get Brazil but risk not advancing at all, or be happy with the draw, most likely get France but possibly get Norway.

Scotland clinging on to 8th place, they might as well fly home now, they're out.

who's on unders in Aussies v Paraguay? too short really but I've taken 5's for 0-0.

feel sorry for the fans ,some may have borrowed thousands to go and support Scotland

You have a bit sadistic to back unders imo

good save, but offside

The thing is Sweden really could score if they want to, but it just wont happen unless Japan score, last thing Sweden want is a goal in the minute from Japan with barely any time to reply.

Nippon are going for that goal for what it's worth to them

in the LAST minute with no time to reply

Tunisia were over evens to score 1 goal and I thought no, no that wont happen, course they score

Japan 1-0

told you they were showing intent from the start, Sweden need a goal now

Nice. 1-0.

WHAT A GOAL ELANGA

oops

1-1. and 2-1 Dutch.

World Class finish

Japan score sweden suddenly start playing not sure how that went in

Suzuki not so Swift off the line after all.

3-1 Dutch and over 3.5 lands. Need one more in Japan game.

isak what a waste of money Liverpool made big mistake

although a point takes Australia and Paraguay through, whoever finishes 2nd in that group could play Iran or Egypt, even Belgium who are average, big incentive, whereas finishing 3rd would mean facing a group winner

I'm not staying up for it, but fair chance they play out a draw

No more goals here lads. 1-1FT.

Any chance of finding smaller folks to referee these games ?

Well that was that, well done Svenska and Potter, could play Norway next in an all Scandinavian fixture.

Betting says so Des , draws suit some , Cracking ball played in by Japan there even better placement of the Ball into crowd by the attacker

The whistle looked liked it was blowing the referee he was that small

good call des

looks like some teams don't care who they play in the next round, they just want to qualify.
