TEAM NEWS

Denmark forward Nicklas Bendtner still hasn't fully recovered from a groin injury but has started the two previous games and looks set to play again. Defender Simon Kjaer is suspended, so Per Kroldrup is favourite to step in.

Japan coach Takeshi Okada is expected to name the same starting line-up for the third consecutive match.

Suspended: Kjaer (Denmark). One booking from suspension: Sorensen (Denmark); Abe (Japan).

GO BLUE SAMURAI!

I really dislike Bendtner, he's Arsenal's version of Daniel Sturridge.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Japan so close there.

[Slim]

GET THE FUCK IN!

Excellent freekick.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

WHAT A FUCKING GOAL!!!! thats the best of the world cup so far

[Dameerto]

Blimey, that Honda takes corners really well, Im sure we are all in Accord? (Ok so it was a freekick but I cant get a car reference into that)

David Villa's was still better, but nice to know someone has finally scored from a freekick, damn jabalani.

Honda with another freekick, Prelude to another goal maybe?

[Slim]

ooooooooooooor not.

2-0 Japan, another freekick!

[Dameerto]

There's me thinking Honda was going to drive it into the net - Endo puts his foot down though.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

And another one!!!

2-0

[Beefymcfc]

2 good freekicks, notice how they've kept them down.

[fangsanalsatan]

Two goals from direct freekicks and Nakamura isn't even playing.

re best goals: Quagliarella, bitches.

Best GOAL, not best fannying around diving, cheating and acting hurt.

[fangsanalsatan]

Come on, the goal was sublime. Scored by a girl, but sublime nonetheless.

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Very good game so far. I really enjoy Japan's style of play.

[Slim]

It's very quick, the pundits here were singing Denmark's praise before the game and said their technical skill would win out.

Making out at half time like it was all so obvious what would happen.

[Slim]

Fantastic play from Japan, just fucking gorgeous.

[Mike J]

honda looks to be a good player imo.
