I file Shinji Kagawa under the list of players you can’t help but like. Super coolly taken penalty despite the delays

Early drama!
The first red card of the #WorldCup goes to Colombia’s Carlos Sánchez for a deliberate handball.
Shinji Kagawa converts the penalty and it’s the perfect start for Japan.#COLJPN pic.twitter.com/8HO5QgXXD5

Colombia 1-1 Japan. Juan Fernando Quintero draws Colombia level with a wonderfully taken free-kick. #rtesoccer #worldcup #COL #JPN pic.twitter.com/bxXHQzm3Vd

The importance of a coach. Instead of taking out Quintero, Pekerman decided to take @Cuadrado out. Pekerman’s intuition paid off. Golazo from Juan Fernando Quintero! #Col 1-1 #JPN #WorldCup18
