Japan probably rather pleased to hear the half time whistle because the Ivory Coast were putting them under concerted pressure in those final few minutes.

Sitting deeper and deeper the closer it got to half time, Japan will be relieved to still be leading.

Exactly, if only we had the defensive organisation of Japan.
Japan are going in the right direction, be interesting if they continue to develop good players and maybe unearth a few world class players in the coming years.

Suzuki honda, his full name.
Is it bad that I'm quite happy Wilfried keeps on missing?
Don't want him impressing anyone too much!

Can't believe I have managed to last the whole day with these games.
Watching the earlier games at my brothers helped .
Home now quite tired but think I will survive, if I watch in my bed I will probably fall asleep

I am very impressed by Honda. My Dad will be so happy when I tell him he scored, he has him on Football Manager and is always going on about him.
I love how players aim a crafty kick, but make sure to put their hands up at the same time, like butter wouldn't melt
Have to say that Japan currently look as likely to score when they go forward as the Ivory Coast do.
Perhaps that will change with Drogba about to come on.

I expected Ivory Coast to be better, they are Africa's only chance of getting a team in the second road
