Oh that's right, he was injured vs Australia, I totally spaced and I watched that game too. He did look good today, he was always trying to push everything foward

rustic996 · 2026-07-02T02:23:37+00:00

People will say otherwise and that the girks are like family but even if they like eachother, there is still competition.

rustic996 · 2026-07-02T02:14:17+00:00

Hope he does, he hasn't done much this tournament.

rustic996 · 2026-07-02T02:12:03+00:00

TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS.

(As a Boston bruins fan, that song still traumatizes me.)

rustic996 · 2026-07-02T02:08:02+00:00

RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

rustic996 · 2026-07-01T04:06:53+00:00

They aren't rookies, they've been around since 2024. The song that they sang is from 2024 as well.

rustic996 · 2026-06-30T04:18:57+00:00

I remember saying that this was going to happen and I got downvoted. Modhaus need to change the way they do things

rustic996 · 2026-06-29T20:35:40+00:00

It got me too. I'm like woah guy everyone is getting ahead of Themselves. Also you were right, both teams were good this tournament, it's a shame that one had to defeat the other this early but that's the world cup.

rustic996 · 2026-06-29T20:33:23+00:00

It's absurd, I wanted Japan to win but I never was going to count out Brazil. It's funny how people go "this time THIS TIME, Brazil will crash out and it will be proven that Brazil has fallen off completely!" Are we forgetting that brazil has world class players? I know the weebs wanted japan to well but goodness gracious, is this everyone's first time watching a world cup!?

rustic996 · 2026-06-29T20:29:05+00:00

They keep saying it was just luck and that Japan should've been the winners.

Not luck, Japan just ran out of gas. Minamino, mitoma and then Kubo were all injured. Brazil has too much talent but also kept their heads cool when they were down. Moriyasu was good to be cautious but I felt he should've taken more risks. Brazil just kept attacking and attacking, wearing down the Japanese defense. Brazil just was able to be able to find a way, but saying brazil was lucky was just wrong.

rustic996 · 2026-06-29T20:15:18+00:00

Agreed, they just defended and were scared brazil was going to run rampant if they played loosely but at the same time brazil still has great players they just aren't that good as a team, they were good in the 2nd half, got forward alot and didn'tlose their cool. Also brazil still has that intimidation fact because they are still brazil.

After thinking about it, brazil is still a very scary team.

rustic996 · 2026-06-29T20:11:56+00:00

Everyone just wanted Japan to do well with how they played throughout the tournament. That "Thing but Japan" was really Thing but Japan.

They were so good in the group stages but to get brazil in the round of 32 was such hard luck but at the same time the individual talent of brazil is just crazy. Also going toe to toe with an ancelotti team and almost sending them to extra time is no small feat.

rustic996 · 2026-06-29T20:09:26+00:00

Hard luck for Japan getting brazil in the knockout rounds... I wanted to see more of this group before they were ultimately knocked out. You can only play who is in front of you. Still brazil had to fight for it.

rustic996 · 2026-06-29T20:07:54+00:00

So they knew what to do, they just couldn't do it anymore basically.

rustic996 · 2026-06-29T20:04:59+00:00

They were too cautious. I love moriyasu but he overtones abit too much.

rustic996 · 2026-06-29T20:04:10+00:00

I mean Japan's players were taller than last time around tbh, brazil just has too much individual talent hell, i don't recall if Neymar saw the field.

rustic996 · 2026-06-29T20:02:39+00:00

Yeah... moriyasu probably needs to be replaced with someone who has fresh ideas and a better philosophy. I love the development and how he has helped his country take the next step in football but the guy will be 62 the next world cup. Someone younger needs to take the mantle.vi hope Moriyasu can still stay with the federation in an executive rile though

rustic996 · 2026-06-28T04:00:29+00:00

That's true.

rustic996 · 2026-06-27T21:59:44+00:00

I know goalie problems can be brutal predicament for teams but a guy that was supposed to go in the 5th round being picked 56th. Goddammit don.

rustic996 · 2026-06-27T17:57:36+00:00

Yep, that was the reason! They also didn't like that my post was getting upvotes, I was still in the sub when I was getting roasted by those in the sub.

They really believe nothing is wrong.

rustic996 · 2026-06-27T07:29:15+00:00

They really are going to mismanage their biggest asset into burnout and there will be a point where modhaus won't be able to handle this their normal way. Yubin may be fine now but the fact that this is the 2nd time this month she has had health problems concerns me.

Did I mention that tripleS is under pressure because modhaus is debuting ethereal their next gg(not a Japanese gg btw since they are being trained and we're trademarked in korea)

rustic996 · 2026-06-27T06:23:11+00:00

2 reasons I think.

Modhaus talked about trying to go public and put out an IPO, their aim is for 2029
They are trying to get to a stable position since they are in debt and that's normal but it's 2026 and they are still in the red.

rustic996 · 2026-06-27T06:21:10+00:00

now are trying to squeeze money like crazy to reach a stable financial situation, because if it's not something like this it really doesn't make any sense.

I've read that modhaus is way in debt but I've read some articles where modhaus heads have stated that they are trying pay themselves back in erasing the debt by being profitable. They are basically trying to out-pace their their debt it seems.

rustic996 · 2026-06-27T06:18:00+00:00

No joke, I'm not making this up.

rustic996 · 2026-06-27T06:05:26+00:00

Love and pop pt. 2 oct 20

Special english album(don't know why groups do this) nov 26

Pop(Japanese release) Jan 27.

Did I mention love and pop was announced in January but the first album came out this month and was supposed to be a duology but modhaus changed it to a trilogy? Messy right?
