Round of 16: Japan vs Croatia on 5th December

[kancutlawns]

Had all the makings of a good match of two if the lesser fancied sides in the last 16. Second half was a bit crap and you feel now we’re into Extra Time, we’re set for pens unless someone produces a moment of magic.

[Carlos J]

Mon the pens. Tone Cas great on radio comms.

[Zambo]

wtf is a forced turnover? Is it anything to do with making you eat pastry?

[Sid Pervcat]

Gotta fancy Croatia if it goes to pens

[Shedboy]

I fancy Japan to nip it.

[theleader82]

Croatias goal was an excellent header

[Sid Pervcat]

Japan are shit at pens!!

[Zambo]

Croatian keeper a yard off his line for every save.

[kancutlawns]

Well that was a particularly shit penalty shoot out wasn’t it?

[kancutlawns]

I fancy Japan to nip it.

If they played the US, they would have nipped it in the bud, innit?

Yeah, I noticed that. Bit pointless the ref lecturing both goalies beforehand then doing nothing about it.

[Zambo]

Yeah a joke. I've just emailed Pierluigi asking him to sort it out. Just Googled Pierluigi Collina contact and his agent's email address popped up.

Weren't we bemoaning TKmin for his use of the word "nip"?

Shedboy originally mentioned ‘nip’. I merely repeated it as a prefix to ‘bud’ to denote an abbreviation for Budweiser. That has no racist connotations. It’s an alcoholic beverage associated with the US.
