He's most likely leaving this summer so here's hoping he can earn himself a transfer to a decent club
Terrific game from Kagawa today. Not sure why they're taking him off.
oh dear me.. japan should have scored there.. inches wide
and there it is.. colombia couldnt hold out the whole game
2-1 Japan. Yuya Osako sealing his MOTM award with that goal.
Is he usually this good in Bundesliga, jonesy? Bloke looks like a quality footballer.
Ospina had to come out and dominate that situation.
Japan deserves it, played very well in the 2nd half, hope they can continue to attack
cant even really fault ospina for that.. he was never gonna get to the cross, and the header right off the far post..

he was never going to come out at near post for that ball...

Yeah Osako has been decent in the Bundesliga this season, the only shining light in Koln's miserable year. He gave us some problems when he came on in the Europa League IIRC
wow.. james with a great chance.. great deflection
Now Osaku's saving Japan in the other end of the pitch. What a performance. James would have scored there if it wasn't for his block.

I suppose he's just not that type of keeper. You see people like Neuer come out for that.
So, nakata still the best Asian player ever?

Yeah definitely Kölns best player last season, earned himself a move to Bremen (if you want to call moving to that shithole something you 'earn'). Great performance indeed
can't say colombia isnt going for it regardless...
Shocking from Bacca there
horrible cross.. he knows it..
this would have been a very different game with 11 men on the pitch for colombia
FT.. japan did what they needed to.. 3rd minute red is really too bad
Japan win! Another mini upset.
Davinson Sanchez looks brilliant physically but has zero defensive awareness. Reminds me of Djourou.
