What time does the Brazil v Japan game start tonight?

Not sure who I want to win which is strange for me because I usually go for Brazil no matter how good they are but Japan have a really good team of skill and pace so I’m expecting a good game with a few goals.

I’ll just go for the best team on the night!

Japan all day long. Love watching them play.

This Brazil team is not the Brazil team of olden days but I bet they win.

I dropped some shopping of at my 90 year old mother in laws today and the first thing she said to me was she hoped Japan get beat.

She has no interest in football, but when it looked at the TV she was watching an afternoon re-run of Tenko!

Nice! Telemundo foregoes the revenue and stays with the stadium. Okay, a quick border ad, no problema.

And the Japanese crowd goes on the counterattack! Gooooool!

Love those goals that roll in from distance.

Casemiro totally exposed

Shocking defending by Gabriel

Take away Vinny JR and Brazil are a top 6 Prem team

Brazil does not look like they have the speed or guile to break them down. They may need a mistake to get going.

Casemiro needs subbing Crosby Carlo

Although Japan have limited possession, they are very clever with it.

Brazil look to be relying on individual brilliance.

Japan has some impressive ways of supporting the players coming back into the middle from the forward lines.

They always have an outlet to run into space left by man coverage.

Japan are such a tidy team, tidy shape, not wasteful, purpose and choice in everything they do.
Happy to surrender some possesion, because when they turn it over they act instantly as a team.
This level of organisation and understanding is a joy to watch.

Get in Japan not get to Japan

How Joao Pedro is not in this squad makes no sense
Dale Self

Good point. And I notice Tomiyasu healed up, would have taken him.

Can Endrick be the spark?
Liam Mogan

Lee Dixon talks wham most of the time but he's right about Brazil being awful out of possession
Dale Self
25 Posted 29/06/2026 at 19:14:02
That was exciting.
Mark Ryan
26 Posted 29/06/2026 at 19:14:41
Lee Dixon. More boring than Father Austin Purcell from Father Ted. What's you favourite humming noise Ted ? Mines Mmmmmm or sometimes mmmm. Fucks sake Lee, shut the fuck up

Carlo has whipped them into action!

Brilliant far-post header. No way you are defending that!
Dale Self

Tomiyasu got scorched.

That look on Suzuki's face was priceless.

Casemiro can hardly run but he's great in the air.

Japan so lucky not to be behind. Great save!

Carlo has been playing Fifa Connect 26 on his whiteboard and is ready for the masterstroke!

Mark 26, Dixon has been on ITV for years, I don't know how he gets away with it.

I have never ever heard anyone saying Dixon is a decent pundit, he is a boring cunt.

At last a proper World Cup tussle
Mark Ryan

Jeff, don't sit on the fence, say what you think ha ha. Could not agree more, a truly dreadful boring co-commentator

Japan couldn't live with Brazil second half.
