But yeah, this is exactly the sort of result, even though it ends up being a positive result, that they need to sort of push through and turn into a win, I think.

But they were very, very good.

I love the organisation of them.

And they break quickly, don't they?

And I think, actually...

They were suited to playing quite a slow Dutch team.

It was interesting in terms of the sort of clash of styles of it.

The first half was awful, wasn't it?

All of the interesting stuff was in the second half.

Awful is a touch harsh.

Funny player, Marlin.

He's had an incredible season with Roma.

He's scored a lot of goals in that second half.

Is it not more a failed attempt at game management, though?

Just respecting Japan as an opponent and trying to see the game out?

And actually, before he made that change, Netherlands looked way more likely to score a third than Japan looked to get an equaliser, to be fair.

So I think you're right there.

And also, it's potentially quite a damaging result, this, if the Netherlands want to win the group, which they will, obviously, with the Sweden result.

So...

Yeah, it's a really, really, really damaging late goal.
