We got no long shot threats and noone who can dribble past defenders in tight spaces. Still, had that Perišić chance and Petković not making the pass. Also, goal was conceded after a corner which was given from Juranović's ridiculous clearence when it was clearly keeper's ball. Full on panic mode for him during the entire tournament. Dalić will switch strikers, maybe put Vlašić on and then do nothing until 75th minute. Edited December 5, 2022 by GunmaN1905 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpain16 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Japan is all about the system. Rather average and limited players but deserving to be ahead. We're terrible, especially Brozović and Modrić. If you can't win against a team as limited as Japan, you deserve nothing. Simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunmaN1905 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 At this point, it's kind of irrelevant. Sure, another QF and a match against Brazil would be a big achievement, but the match would be on Friday and this clown just refuses to sub anyone, midfield is completely spent. Will be a walkover for Brazil, regardless of who they play. Rather have Japanese celebrate a huge win, than have this clown luck his way into another knockout round.
