There were some great moments during that game - mostly fuelled by crowd reactions. Basically any time Palestine cleared the ball from a Japanese onslaught of their 18 yard box, the crowd went wild. Palestine did about 3 unnecessary bicycle kicks in their own half which were great. And the Palestine keeper (aka skinny David Ospina) pulled off some unreal saves. Palestine also featured a Balotelli lookalike, an Arturo Vidal lookalike, and we're fairly sure Orlando Engelaar had leg-reducing surgery and was running their midfield :lol:

All in all a great day, and I loved seeing all the Palestine and Japan fans out for it.

The rain was relatively constant at the start of the game, and geared up towards the end. Most people abandoned the uncovered hill areas for the higher-up grandstands. Heiny, sydcro, EG, mrsV4 and I had tickets to the hill but snuck up to the top of the grandstand solely because of this - and it was way better.

Half of them weren't Palestinian.

Still more entertaining (and more goals) than a Jets game. Not disappointed I went. Palestinian contingent made the atmosphere great.

At least they're used to having other people camped in their half.

Mr.T heads wide

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

PALESTINE FOR THE WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whata crap boring game. Glad I didn't buy tickets

EDIT: I mean maybe one of the other games I would. Endo goal @ 8' min, most entertaining moment:roll:

Sent off from the field like they were sent off from their land. :lol:

We are.

We are.

They are obviously the smart ones!

No more goals Japan ! noooo

Must I say it is great seeing some 442 forum users getting to the games. Must be a million times better than sitting on this crappy forum

Probably would, but it's hard to say. I only saw the first half and they looked solid without having any idea of how to find a goal.

I reckon Palestine would give the Jets a good run for their money

Will a team as good as this one ever play in Newcastle again?

Must have thought it was pre-1974.

And Verbeek is clueless, Kiyotake left Nuremberg because they got relegated, not because he could nae adapt.

but just in general just piss off want to protest move over there and do it wouldn't last 1 minute

Kiyotake on, Palestine in for a hard 45

Pim is still a dick.

Nothing to learn here, Japan getting the job done. Cant believe Newcastle is getting a semi final.

Heine, PV4, SydCro and myself are at the game enjoying seeing the trifecta score.

Judging by the number of people going to support palestine for various reasons down here, they'd be smart not to make a reappearance.

People's republic of Lambton :D

HT
Japan 3-0 Palestine

I would have carded him. That was poor.

Ref was telling the keeper to stay on his line. He literally jumped out 6 yards.
