Support NeoGAF

[The perfect Dark]

So you support Germany but are not actually a German? Or German living abroad?

I am german. I'm from Dortmund

 

[Buzzati]

2-1 Japan

 

[Maintenance]

You're going to be a zombie on the pitch.

Still better than Rooney.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

C'mon Japan. Give me Yaya tears.

Wut?

It's not Italian at all. It's a more organised Brazilian style, with Dutch sprinkles.

Wut?

The Japanese J league started out by looking outwards to Brazil (which is true) and now Zacherroni is trying to stamp his influence on the team. Nothing outrageous about what he said.

You need to drop the act that Americans are clueless or ESPN is the worst thing in the world.

 

[Ser Goje]

So you support Germany but are not actually a German? Or German living abroad?

I support Germany and Bayern, and I'm not German.

What's wrong with that?

 

[K.Jack]

I'm going Japan, 2-1

Expect technical excellence.

Too bad you're so far out then, Germany actually got a decent match time in the European timezone. Hope you can stay awake

I support Germany and Bayern, and I'm not German.

What's wrong with that?

Not saying it's wrong, just curious. You don't see many people rooting for a different national team btw, so it's interesting to learn the why. Tell me more.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Gonna support glorious Nippon. It gave me animu and manga.

 

[Firemind]

Dat Keisuke Honda.

 

[PandaPedinte]

a game starting at 10pm local time is crazy to me

It's normal here for games during the midweek.

NIPPON OLE! NIPPON OLE! NIPPON OLEEEEE OLEEEEEE!

England lol, absolutely fucking useless as always. Rooney should be dropped asap, he's a waste of space whenever he comes up against good teams.

Also how is Ian Wright on telly? The cunt can barely string a sentence together.

 

[Star Falcon]

Struggling to keep my eyes open hopefully some early goals in this one! Should I take a 2 am coffee boost?

 

[Roland1979]

I expect Japan to play better technically and Ivory Coast better physically.
I think the Japanese have a slight edge. Some of these African countries have ridiculously powerful strikers though. Probably another entertaining match, and they're both accustomed to playing a game in warmer climates.

 

[Mesousa]

Is Bony starting ahead of Drogba?

 

[caesar]

After the match Hart to Pirlo : 'Wow, what a free kick.'

 

[fluffydelusions]

Go for it

I will...football is the best thing ever + we have a great team

edit: wait, I am in the european timezone. I'm in Germany right now, lol.

 

[rubbishmonkey]

i think we (England) can win the other 2 matches if they perform in the same way as today.

Unfortantly I think Ivory Coast have more talented players than Japan and see them winning, although I shall be rooting for the samurai blue

Useless, my arse.

We were decent, just not quite good enough at forcing chances through pressure, or defending our left wing

 

[Phatmac]

Going for glorious Nippon. 2-1 Japan.

 

[Pennywise]

I support Germany and Bayern, and I'm not German.

What's wrong with that?

Supporting Bayern is wrong.

 

[Probity]

I am german. I'm from Dortmund

I've never had the chance to hit up Dortmund, I was meaning to while I was still in Germany, but I never got the chance. I really want to see a home game.

From Munich myself, live in the US right now.

Edit: Above is wrong. Mia San Mia.

 

[Lonely1]

Neither teams has a defense, so I go for 4-3 Ivory Coast.

 

[Firemind]

Useless, my arse.

So, basically useless. :lol

 

[LuuKyK]

The japanese are so creative! Some crazy outfits/hats out there in the crowd. lol @ that Freeza though.

Rooting for Nippon!

 

[cremino]

Good victory!! England played well in the 2 half but was too imprecise...I hope Paletta will be on the bench next time . Thiago Motta and Parolo were fine but we needed players with more pace like Abate, Cerci or Insigne and more dangerous on counterattacks.. Pirlo, Siririgu, Darmian, Balo, Candreva and Marchisio played well.

Forza ITALIAAAAA!!!

 

[Mesousa]

Neither teams has a defense, so I go for 4-3 Ivory Coast.

So you gonna act like Kolo isnt the real deal Holyfield?

 

[SliceSabre]

Let's go Japan!

My wife is from munich. I never went to the Oktoberfest but this year will be the first time ^^
Westfalenstadion is the best btw

 

[Submarino Conversível]

 

[Daemul]

Still better than Rooney.

 

[LNBL]

Omg is that Freeza?

 

[immortal-joe]

Rooting for Nippon!

Pls tell me there's a pic I can find of this

 

[gashikunFLCL]

I heard on TV that Japan has the support of the crowd because of the confederations cup.

Let's go Japan!

 

[Maintenance]

Here we go, it rained a lot on the city of the match.

"The Japanese team is inspired by the Brazilian and Italian way of playing football."

- Alexi Lalas


Wut?

Those are the two countries they historically love in football.

They play more like Spain though.

 

[Star Falcon]

Go for it

Alive again, let's do it!

I'd love Japan to win this but I think Ivory Coast will edge it in this heat. 2-0 Ivory Coast.

 

[Linius]

So you gonna act like Kolo isnt the real deal Holyfield?

GOAT

 

[GBG]

Does anyone know do the kits get decided in the World Cup? Spain and Holland both wore their away kits last night and tonight England wore all white whereas Italy wore all blue. I don't get it.

 

[Oersted]

That Ivory costume

 

[Mesousa]

GOAT

Brings a tear to my eyes.

 

[Linius]

I will...football is the best thing ever + we have a great team

edit: wait, I am in the european timezone. I'm in Germany right now, lol.

The game is at 6pm mate.

 

[Zabojnik]

That was a great win for Costa Rica today and I'm happy, but it can only go down from here. lol

Whenever something like this happens to our team, things deflate quickly.

I don't know man, it was a legit victory. Costa Rica played really well and I expect them to continue to do so.

Good victory!! England played well in the 2 half but was too imprecise...I hope Paletta will be on the bench next time . Thiago Motta and Parolo were fine but we needed players with more pace like Abate, Cerci or Insigne and more dangerous on counterattacks.. Pirlo, Siririgu, Darmian, Balo, Candreva and Marchisio played well.

Forza ITALIAAAAA!!!

Damn, I totally forgot about Cerci. Gotta say, Italy have a very good bench this time around.

 

[Dark Schala]

Woooooooow

 

[kamorra]

Paletta was the worst, Pirlo the best player. Sterling was impressive even in defeat.

 

[LNBL]

Does anyone know do the kits get decided in the World Cup? Spain and Holland both wore their away kits last night and tonight England wore all white whereas Italy wore all blue. I don't get it.

Spain actually had to create a new kit (The white one). Because the home kit they were supposed to play in was too similar to the blue away kit of ours.

JAPAN! JAPAN! JAPAN!
