I like how theyre passing the ball around and maintaining possession, but I dont like how Yamaguchi has been so wasteful shooting the ball from 40 yards out and thinking something will come of it rather than keep the ball...also some of his crosses have just been horrible and again, wasteful. But as a whole theyre playing well. Good news for Japan, Egypt took off their best player/goalscorer for fresh legs. May have something to do with why Japan is maintaining the ball more than before. Higashi may have sprained his ankle, on the sideline now..
Ya, he just walked on it funny..if he sat out for that he'd might as well be playing with the Nadeshiko.
Higashi was limping around, would have liked to see Usami instead...as Gotoku almost draws a pentalty.
