Honda and Kagawa is sex to watch. This is how the game should be played.

Fucking loved that. I wish it had been the earlier kick off tbh but still, great to enjoy a game like that, such a rare treat. I wish England would show the passion Japan showed and played open football like that too.

Also saw a bit of Brazil, and having not seen a lot of Neymar before aside from a few friendlies against England and some of the Olympics, I hadn't seen anything from him to warrant the hype. He showed some real class tonight, another good goal after the one on Saturday. Let's hope it continues.

The match quality of these International tournaments does seem to be improving after the the boring as shit 2010 World Cup, almost all of the games in the group stages in Euro 2012 were great to watch but dwindled in the knock-out stages and there's been some good stuff from the matches so far in this tournament just hope the trend continues to next year's World Cup

I don't remember anybody saying that Neymar was rubbish, just that he's overrated, which is true; and is entirely relative to the amount of hype and hyperbole from a lot of people who, prior to the England game, probably hadn't seen him play before.

2014 will bring his first real opportunity to start matching expectations and silence any sceptics. That's not to say that if he doesn't shine in the Champions league and lead Brazil to success he has failed; just that he (hopefully) still has a way to go before being heralded as an elite player.

Glad to see Japan putting in a classy performance but I was disappointed with the lack of shoryukens.

I think people are really just carried away with how he plays like Ronaldinho. You know Brazilians have been seeking for that next dominant Brazilian superstar after Dinho's laziness got the better of him. Pato bombed. Kaka never fully recovered his form after his injury.
