Nice match, a bit low key and chippy at the same time, if that's possible.

Japan are a resilient side, taking a lot of physical pressure and continuing to run at speed. The Netherlands, some nice passing, some good combinations. The Dutch seem a little too prone to swinging their arms and legs in ways that are sure to impact another player.

I tell you though, warm afternoon, relaxing on the couch, the murmuring blare of the vuvuzelas... it's hard not to doze....
