I'm really hoping that Honda manoeuvres his way around the Greek defence a lot better than he did in the first half.

It really reminded me of Peter Mannion reading the comments on his blog on The Thick of ItI swear down
"You've always got such a pained expression. Do you take it up the chutney?" Really? I mean, for God's sake..."
Then he would have to have masochistic tendencies, because he appearantly still sees his future there. He likely would have had the opportunity to return to the club, where he spend his most successful years and could play in the system which suits him the most. Given how open and positively Dortmund´s officials and also some of the lead players (Hummels for example) spoke about a possible return of the Japanese I think they reached out to him (and United aswell) and he simply declined.
That would've been hilarious
Lineker reading that tweet
What tweet? I missed it?
He was reading a tween by Sturridge and he kinds struggled with the language in it
This one
It was a tweet from Sturridge with 'swear down' included- Linekar read it with a flat, expressionless delivery which made it sound funny.
"I swear down"
Both Honda and Endo are good free kick takers.
Keown is quite excited about Endo
It's usually a defence reserved only for kids of about 13 years old
This is starting to sound like a remake of that "Selfie" song.
He's not even lying.
F'uck off, Greece.
Now we talkin', Kagawa coming on.
Quick! Wake the Kagawa fanboys up!
Shinji time. 
Shine Time!!
This is true Greece, hold out here for an extremely dull 0-0, then somehow win 1-0 against Ivory Coast in the last game, likely off a corner, their only shot on target all game, then somehow qualify for the next round.
Someone tell Mad Winger he can start watching now.
Shinji lost possession of the ball 16 times against Ivory Coast.
Seems like you watched the Euros. I kinda like Greece that way. They know the're awful, they don't try to hide it.
Yeah, and people wonder why he didn't start tonight.Shinji lost possession of the ball 16 times against Ivory Coast.
Second good save from the GK
Japan if you can't beat a 10 man Greek team then your as bad as they are. Pull yourselves together and get the goals in.
Greeks are true warriors. Hardest team to break down.
This Japan team are toothless.
Swear down
To be fair, just from my impression, that's still not as many times as Messi against Bosnia
The game against Ivory Coast really wasn't his fault, every japanese player was playing below average that day. If he gets the support he can always be the difference maker.Karagounis is the guy who runs over to the ref every fecking decision isn't he? What a horrible little cretin. Expending all his energy too.
I got my entire savings on a Japan victory.
I will kill a swan if they don't win this.
I will kill a swan if they don't win this.
Greece are tedious as feck to watch but damn they're hard to break down.
Must be frustrating for all the Japan fans so far.
Breaking 10 men down is easier said than done TBH
Where has the attacking, cohesive football from Japan disappeared to?
The ref has been awful this half. Greece have had everything, then they take 2 minutes to take every break in play. Brutal match.
Leave it! And true but still, 16 times is a lot.To be fair, just from my impression, that's still not as many times as Messi against Bosnia
