Id rather Belgium go through as they have a good shout at beating Brazil in the next round.
Good call. Belgium Vs Brazil could be an absolute classic. We need those teams to soften each other up.

I think Belgium have what it takes to lift the trophy but I'd love to see Japan progress.
They obviously don't have much height in the box so playing through Belgium's defence is going to be hard work for them.

How did Fellani's hair manage to get a game but the man in question didn't?

You think? I'm actually quite liking the way Japan are trying to play.

I'm actually enjoying it. Japan's defence has been pretty solid so far, they're certainly making Belgium work for it.
This could be a major upset. Belgium clearly better than Japan in every position (except keeper? 
), but Japan look good on the break. Their forwards are surprisingly strong with their backs to goal, and Inui is quite the player...

Japan are well organised and have good passing ability when they get the ball. Can only respect their method.
Day 1 aside, the knock out games have been pretty dull.

How many changes did France make?

I definitely think the way they'll score is on the counter, they're pretty rapid when they want to be.
Defensively they're a bit like us I feel, some lucky lunges and people throwing themselves in the way.
Same with Croatia last night.

No way. Japan can’t go toe to toe physically, they don’t have the individual skill to overcome Belgium. They’ve got a plan and they’re executing it perfectly at the moment.
