🇯🇵 🇳🇱 The Japan Netherlands game was THRILLING, wow, football at its finest

Absolutely fascinating *this* is the angle you take in a Japan v Netherlands game, when a century of colonial history is right there:

Netherlands had a few fans out and about earlier today in Dallas for their #FanWalk before the Neverlands vs Japan match. #NothingLikeOrange #WorldCup2026 #Netherlands

NO LEAGUE IN THE WORLD HAS MORE WORLD CUP GOALS SO FAR THAN.... THE ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 West Ham's Crysencio Summerville added to this tally in Netherlands v Japan... Poor lad probably thought he could forget about relegation for the summer 😭

I know nothing about soccer, but my Japanese tutor was really excited about the Netherlands v. Japan game today, so I give it a watch as context for the next lesson. While reading about the team, I discovered their awesome logo featuring Yatagarasu, a three-legged crow of Japanese mythology.

Japanese fans have become famous for staying after to help clean up the stadium following a match. After Japan drew with the Netherlands today at the World Cup, QB Jameis Winston joined Japanese fans as they cleaned up. @tsnofficial.bsky.social with the video.

The Netherlands team ate their Ready Brek, I see. #Football #WorldCup #NEDvJPN (If you understand this, you may be old.)

Japan are really going for it, and Koeman knows it. So Ake is on for Gravenberch as the Dutch look to shut up shop #NEDJPN #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup2026

Heck I'll take the point of Equalizer, they ended it at 2-2 draw! #SamuraiBlue #Japan #NEDvsJPN #FIFAWorldCup

Everyone would be having a better one if they just focused on the World Cup as they should. That Japan v Netherlands game!

Direct from Dallas, @cincysoccertalk.bsky.social's @geofftebbetts.bsky.social sends us his very fine post-match report of the Netherlands vs Japan match. We kept wondering why Japan was sending high crosses into the box given their height disadvantage. Then it happened. Read on. www.flyn.to/gvPii41

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)—Daichi Kamada scored on a header off Koki Ogawa’s corner kick in the 88th minute, sending the Samurai Blue fans into a frenzy and giving Japan a 2-2 draw with the Netherlands in their World Cup opener.
