Kip Smithers Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Kudos to Lukaku for that. Japan played exceptionally well. Great game. Two technically gifted sides playing attractive football. Kagawa was sooo good today. Reminded us why Utd bought him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with 60 mins gone the underdogs are in a good position and you think it could be interesting. Only to choke it all away with 1 sec left.
