No. Greece are more Greece than ever. Japan can't handle the Greekness.
Why does Nagatomo keep crossing the bal? Like the Japanese players are going to win a header against the greek defence..
He was, however he never had the conviction in his sprinting or tenacity as he has shown a couple times in this game.
This referee is playing right into their hands
Honda is 6'1.
Japan are bloody blunt and even lacked their usual attacking style this tourney.
And how the hell did Greece reach here ? They are shit and boring shit.

bring on Saito
He is awfull
Having a man sent off just suits the Greek gameplan all the more. They're like the fecking Hydra.
Greece are such a dull team, the colour grey personified. At least England have actually tried to play some decent stuff at times despite losing both games.
Standard behaviour from the Japanese. If it were any other nation that might seem strange.
He's their best player though, and has been better than Kagawa.
Come on Japan. Just one goal. Please. Greece really don't deserve a point out of this game.
Greece to draw this and then beat Ivory Coast.
I disagree.. Shinji is not that bad after coming on. Although i never rated Honda much.
Greece set for an undeserved 88th minute winner?
I really hate greeks. Japan looks like Spain most of the time I see them but they have absolutely no physical presence in this team.
What a shit team Greece is. Cheating, time wasting, not playing football... a joy to watch.
This is worse than Nigeria - Iran
I have some sort of masochist admiration for Greece's football since they won Euro 2004. Also sympathize with their coach, who won the 5th title in Porto's record-breaking 5-consecutive leagues between 94-99.
Salpingidis ... another guy that wouldn't look out of place in a retirement home.
Shinji did nothing for them last game, and Honda generally delivers for them. I'd rather him than Shinji at the moment. The team has just been terrible.
If no one scores can we at least some use of goal line technology to confuse Pearce?
No ... just ... no.
Japan have been such a let down so far this WC.
Shinji has spread slow motion zombie passing to the Japanese national team
It wouldn't matter if Greece played with 9 men it's still the same. They are the Stoke of International football, so negative. It's like Mourinho managing a Sunday league team. They use every trick in the book to time waste, such poor quality. I think I would stop playing and watching football if I had to watch them for 1 year.
At least Greece tries to counter attack once in a while.
lovely dummy by Honda
Take a risk! Make an aggressive run!
Terrible game.
Maybe we can hope for it to spread around the world so United will look better? Praise the World Cup!
Please Japan. I'm begging you now.
I haven't seen such useless crossing since Moyes' assault on Fulham
