Jeff Rueter

And some tremendous saves.

And he's usually more known for his long distribution with his arm, right?

And he's one of those who can throw it into the attacking third without a bounce, but really came up

And it was necessary for him to come up again in a World Cup of goalkeepers.

half righted or wrong maybe half righted or wrong maybe yeah but yeah it was savvy placement too because he did it as soon as the ball was was taken over and so it's still the edge of the attacking third there's some space i think that the ensuing free kick ended up hitting a belgian it didn't even get to the mixer i mean you're really crediting his speed of thought there i think you just went oh shit oh panic stations right yeah i think so it should also i can't believe we haven't gotten to mediterranean had a goal uh called offside by his ass

Yes.

Yeah.

We still got the graphic.

That's all I'm saying.

We still got the one where he's just kind of bumping it back and it's just like,

Maybe they should.

Yeah, maybe let's take one of the second place finishers in a group that we disagree with and let's just send all four of them through.

Actually, the third goal, Jeff, was beautiful, wasn't it?

There was just a certain point where it looked like Japan was like, we can just kind of do some schoolyard stuff around here and just pass circles around them and do some tap-ins.

And, you know, to your point, Barry, about all the players missing, I thought that Ueda's movement up front was just perfect for it.

And you had some gilded chances given to him, granted, but...

At the same point, it is really scary to see when you when you see just like once this team hits its stride.

And that's always been the issue when you get to like the round of 16 is right.

OK, is Japan going to be able to put it together?

And granted, Tunisia is not a round of 16 opponent necessarily, but it certainly looks like they're they're well rehearsed to be able to take on a challenge like that.
