hah Well regarding the above. You guys can forget about replacing Hasebe. I think there is just no way Zac will go and do that before WC. Perhaps but only perhaps with Endo. And perhaps he will change the striker, but it all ends more or less there. The problem is. Hasebe is meant to be the destructive midfielder in this set up and Endo the creative. So while you can bring another guy instead of Endo he wont be some kind of brute to just take away the ball. More like a Busquets or Javi Martinez kind of player if you get me. I believe such players can be found in J-League as well as some different and more effective strikers. I personally aint really fond of Konno at the back as well since as a Barca fan I know all too much about being exposed because of lack of height at the back
Maeda or Haveenar will start - > 1 change Hosogai will get his chance -> 2 change Inui will start -> 3. change one at the back, either Gotoku Sakai or Kurihara comes in (perhaps even in place of Yoshida)
I said Prandelli Probably they'll put El Shaarawy and Aquilani on the field in place of Giaccherini and Marchisio. And they could chose Maggio over Abate, since Kagawa is dangerous.
If El Shaarawy plays I guess Uchida will be busy again. Can't afford to push up at all. I'd like to see Inui even though he is Mr. one-trick since he is probably fresher and combines better with Kagawa. But he probably won't come on until minute 90.
WTF I was completly on crack... However put Honda in place of Takahashi and the equation does not change. Havenaar as first change ok but Hosogai in for??? Endo or Hasebe benched? Or he will use 3 mids? Plus Inui in place of? Kagawa is impossible then our uber scorer Okazaki? And why lose some height in defence benching Yoshida? Uh, I think this is not the right thread for this
I'm watching Brazil vs Mexico and and I can say after watching Mexico vs Italy also that Mexico's defence is a joke, and if Japan couldn't score against them it will be a shame!
Things won't change unless Zac gtfo of his comfort zone: http://globoesporte.globo.com/futeb...italiano-zaccheroni-de-criticas-no-japao.html In a few words, he said that he don't feel the pressure from press and journalists because he can't read japanese...
Still, the best game of the tournament has been played Japanese NT made their name and it will go throught the world surely. That was the main purpose of playing there.
And in that thrilling match, Japan was the better team, despite the lost. They made Italy suffered throughout.
All the same, great games guys. I had to step outside to take a breath! It can be a real bastard of a game sometimes.
It's a god damn joke... It's astonishing that you keep your personal campaign against the coach no matter how well the guys were disposed yesterday. Grow up already, seriously. He surely makes his mistakes but doesn't deserve all the blame when we lose.
The message was posted before the game, btch (OH, look how cool am I, i'm telling him to grow up). And it doesn't matter what you say, the same guys that do nothing will still be there. It's time to give a goddamn chance to the others
