World Cup 2018: Belgium’s official Twitter account make embarrassing blunder after confusing Japan’s Shinji Kagawa with WWE star Shinsuke Nakamura
Country's official Twitter account attempted to publish Adnan Januzaj's quotes talking about his former Manchester United team-mate
BELGIUM’S official Twitter account made an embarrassing blunder after getting Japan’s World Cup star Shinji Kagawa mixed up with wrestler Shinsuke Nakamura.
Roberto Martinez’s side take on the Asian outsiders in their round of 16 contest on Monday night.
Ahead of their knockout clash, Belgium’s Adnan Januzaj was talking up former Manchester United team-mate Kagawa as their main danger man.
Belgium attempted to write the playmaker’s quotes on Twitter but instead of using Kagawa’s official Twitter handle, they tagged WWE’s Nakamura.
The tweet wrote: “@adnanjanuzaj: ‘@ShinsukeN (Shinsuke Nakamura) is a good guy and a great player. I am looking forward to seeing him.”
The 38-year-old found the funny side and was quick to reply with “me either.”

Meanwhile Januzaj staked his place to start in the clash with Japan after his sensational winner against England.
