I think it would be harsh not to keep Nishino on
Harsh to call him a clown when you don't know his reasoning. Jakarta retired all together from football at 29. Everyone is different
Honda and Hasebe reported by skysports to have announced their retirement
I don't think it's a case of loser mentality. Not everything is that black and white and you can be proud of your team even in defeat after a...
Shameful display from Colombia. I'm wanting them to win because England are our rivals but......jeez this is brutal
So if Japan are ever 2 0 down with 20 minutes they should just give up and go home......it happens all the time. It's football, anything can...
Exactly. I don't agree about all this talk of having to change everything to succeed. The day Japan start rolling around like Neymar on a...
We have a saying in Scotland that we always suffer from "glorious failure" i.e we often do better than expected and then blow it at the end...
You've made posts talking about his hold on the team.....what are you talking about? He's been in and out of squads over the last few years where...
It'll surprise you how many players who have been around for a while finally just click and get their shot in the national team. Sometimes players...
That's a little harsh. For the most part they defended diligently tonight.
But teams choke in every league. Also by that logic the other team which is also Japanese is the team coming from behind and doing well so it...
But it's not only Japanese national team players that play in the J League....not sure what your point is. Also very intrigued to see your proof...
If Inui hadn't just moved he would have had a massive move on the cards.
Totally condescending. So if Japan ever come back from 2 down its got nothing to with Japan doing well and all to do with the other team falling...
You should be. Everyone expected Belgium to steamroll you (I'm assuming you're from Japan) but you fought hard and could have won. It was an...
I'm no big fan after his time at Dundee Utd but that is a ridiculous comment.
Japan look exhausted. They've given everything. Just push on a little more. Still making chances
Yodhida has been an absolute rock
Wow......wow......just...........wow! I'm flying back out to Japan tomorrow just to celebrate those goals hahahaha.
Started the half well, defended strongly, created some chances. Not a bad half at all considering
It's a tough ask for the boys in blue but with a bit of luck and a lot of hard work they can do it!. Keep it tight, play to your strengths and at...
Past games and stats mean nothing. It's all about who turns up on the day. I'm not expecting too much but I'm definitely hopeful.
Haha I love it! Don't apologise for being nostalgic, I love that. I'm always talking about old Scotland, Japan, Dundee Utd games with friends and...
Ha nice one. Hope you're having fun out there!
