Way too casual and he strikes the left-hand post. Could this be a reprieve for Japan?

Takuma Asano
He gives the goalkeeper the eyes and strokes his penalty home in the opposite side.

The keeper is making saves but they are two really poorly struck penalties from Japan.
Marcelo Brozovic
Lovely penalty from the Inter Milan midfielder.
Somewhere in Zagreb they're building the statue of Dominik Livakovic already.
Kaoru Mitoma
Another penalty lacking power and direction. Japan in big trouble already.
Nikola Vlasic
Too much power and accuracy for the Japan goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda to get near that.
Takumi Minamino
Awful penalty from the former Liverpool midfielder Takumi Minamino. Low but a good three feet inside the right post and easily saved.

I had the ability to clear my mind. I also didn't want any information for anyone. A penalty shootout is a lottery for goalkeepers. You don't have control over anything.
The team who go first win exactly 50% of World Cup shootouts...

Japan to go first.

Because of the short amount of time we have to play the World Cup in, it would have been sensible to go straight to penalties. we've just seen in that extra time that the quality wasn't there, not that there was a lot during the game anyway.
They could have gone for another hour and nobody would have scored.

They say there's always one chance and that was it from Majer. He just snatches at it and drags it past that near post.
