Rest Players

[Deleted]

Failed to see evidence of Belgium gaining from resting players.

Until Fellaini came on they were toast.

Can’t believe it took them 60 minutes to realise how abysmal Japan are in the air defensively.

How naive were they also for going hung ho to win and leaving themselves so open to the winner.

We would have murdered them from set pieces.

Belgium looked very leggy for a well rested team.

Reminded me like watching a Man Utd cup game where they suddenly turn it on when realising they might be out.

Gutted for Japan they really went for it.

I thought Japan were tactically excellent, their pressing game completely nullified Belgium's playmakers and I was impressed with some of their passing in the attacking 3rd. Shame that Belgium, like Man Utd, can always call upon that cheating fcuk Fellaini to dig them out of trouble by letting them play long. Having said that, the counter for the winning goal was outstanding.
