Official 2015 Nadeshiko Japan Thread [R] - なでしこジャパン（英語スレッド）

I'm not explaing anything there.
It was a rough translation of some report.
It says that some players admitted that they had lost the same intention as a team from the middle of the game as for whether they would defend deeply back or keep the backlines high enough against the Cameroon FWs threats.

 

I certainly don't expect them playing the same way like three years ago. You would expect them. But the standard you mentioned no longer applies. Would they played the same way now then every team would know how to play against Japan. Ang G you have gotten yourself some kind of glorified picture of how Japan performance shoud've look based on your liking of their previous success and now when you not see it you're bitter, why's that? Because we don't share your sentiment? I maybe wrong but that's what I'm getting here.

I agree result 2-1 is a fair representation of both teams performances. No argue there. I just beleieve that Cameroon gave over 90% in this game while Japan smth around 60%.

I never said that Japan's an underdog.

Dunno nothing 'bout hivemind part nor am I spokesman for such a thing

Aye, aye I'll stick to my delusions then, thank you very much I think though that Colombians ie. would've share my sentiment.

 

I've long ceased to expect anything from Japan, Sasaki has done an excellent job running this team into the ground. It was never their success that I liked, it was how they played and almost nothing of that is left; Japan now play like the US. And they're bad at it, too.

How you guys can be content with Japan having slipped into mediocrity boggles my mind.

 

One of the newspapers said that she is not happy about the way she played in the game. Just FYI.

 

I am presuming that Japan as the winner of Group C will play on the 23rd in Vancouver. So who is emerging to be the likely opponent? Your thoughts?

 

Yeah I think similar things could be said with regard to last year's World Cup. Germany actually had just two "brilliant" games where they won by large margins: Against Portugal and against Brazil (the infamous one).

Yeah that was my initial thought, too.

Then we should start praying.

Maybe we're going to do it Chelsea-style, trolling the football world.

 

South Korea 2-2 Costa Rica
What a game, end-to end atack. Costa Rica were a goal behind for most of the game, and scored an amazing equalizer at the 90' mark. Along with Nigeria v Australia, Netherlands v China, one of the best games yet.

I hope so. Sasaki said that the game with Cameroon was experimental......

 

So if the round of 16 were to be set tonight, Japan would be playing against the 3rd place team from group A, B or F (match 42). In group A it's Netherlands. In group B it's Thailand. And in group F it's France.

Which of three countries do you think is the most likely opponent?

 

Today's relatively insignificant result:

Challenge League East
Tokiwagi (Kobayashi, Doi, Furudate) 3-1 Niigata (Fukazawa)

 

I'm still uploading my photos (1/3 done on the master files)
But I do have 1/2 of my select photos posted to my Ipernity site. Emjoy.

Similar to before you are all welcomed to use these photos.

 

Who do you think will start at the next match against Ecuador?

Perhaps the following...
G Fukumoto
D Iwashimizu / Kitahara / Kawamura / Kumagai
MF Sakaguchi / Miyama / Nagasato / Tanaka
FW Ogimi / Sugasawa

Or would more players who played 2 full matches rest?

 

On the same beat as many of my previous posts, I found this just now...

To add to the love that I have for the team as a whole and their individual personalities, I thought this moment was very sweet and cute. I know there's quite a few current and former footballers in our midst, so if any of you have ever experienced something like this, you know exactly how awesome this moment feels!

 

RE: France i have a very controversial theory they lost on purpose to avoid topping their group which is in a way a death sentence because you meet Germany in the quarters.

 

Let me the buffer in this heated conversation by saying, Sasaki should have selected Shibata.

Ogimi usually makes the brave near post run taking a defender and the keeper with her. The first goal was, ahem, from a cross from Kawasumi, with a possible dummy through the legs of Ogimi, to Sameshima.
