Lots of games today.

Brazil couldn't get past South Africa, 0-0

Nigeria arrives in Brazil about 8 hours before game is scheduled to begin due to usual FA fuckery, but still show Japan we is boss man top ranking star. Game ends 5-4 to my Eagles.

No one's really caught the eye so far, but then again, I'm only vaguely interested in the competition.

Is England ever at these games ?

no. great britain sometimes, like when they hosted.

Arsenal new boy Asano scored for Japan - trying to find a vid of the goal but no luck so far. Japan lost 5-4 to Nigeria. Serge scored for Germany too as they drew 2-2 with Mexico.

It is in the Asano thread.

Almost a copy of his goal the other day, and similar to the two Iwobi has recently scored.

Gnabry looks the most dangerous German player by a fair margin.

Which team is Gnabey playing for this year?

Asano starting for Japan against Colombia, match coming up soon. Might tune in for a bit if I have the time and see how he looks

Been watching since around the 40 minute mark, Asano has been pretty bright. Nearly scored by hitting the bar on a shot from just outside the box.

Japan down 2-0 though, and can't compete with the physicality of the Colombian side at all. They just scored an atrocious own-goal as well, absurdly comic stuff

And just as I type that, he scores with a sharp finish from close range

I really hope we have a work permit for him this season. We can aim to develop him here first. He has the right tools as a good striker.

Brazil so bad.

Another goal by Gnabry... this is what, 4 goals for him?

5 goals in 3 for Gnabry.

Argentina have been knocked out of the group stages.

What the fuck is Fiji on 

Someone got the title wrong
