2015 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Japan will genuinely give any team a game I think. High energy, well drilled, good tricky footballers.

Port Said Red Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Japan have always had the high intensity side to their game, to me each tournament we have seen their game intelligence improve. The runs are more purposeful, the passing more accurate and intelligent, they are a real handful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annd wow... 3 or 4 criminal decisions in their favour, including being given a pen for a foul 5 yards outside the box, perfectly good goals against them ruled out for no reason at all, opposition players sent off following embarrassing (Rivaldo) cheating and play acting - should have been a red for Rivaldo not the poor Turk.
