Let's see how they're going to withstand it with Zac taking it as final preparation for WC talking about only 3 subs during the game!
These will be the starters vs ivorians or Zac will emulate Okada and change all just before the whistle?
Is that the official lineup or your prediction? I read that okazaki was out with a fever, I wouldn't risk it. Also, Nagatomo - calf problem. Uchida - returned from injury. It's better that Okazaki, Nagatomo and Uchida are rested. Konno desparately needs to get ready for the WC, but I'm still hoping someone other than him would step up. Konno is Japan's weakest line and he will be terrorize in the WC. This is a friendly, Zac should test non-regulars and Honda, since he doesn't seem to be fit. GO JAPAN! GAMBARE, NIPPON! GAMBARE SAMURAI BLUE!
Yeah what I was just thinking. They're pretty significantly different from the Ivory Coast. For one thing, they are a lot smaller. I watched a little of them in the African Cup of Nations they won. They were an exciting team to watch but that was definitely a huge upset over the likes of Ivory Coast.
If Japan plays like they did these first five minutes, they're going to get killed. This is dangerously close to Okada Japan
Nishikawa probably should've come out to stop that before i reached the player. Win/lose/draw to CIV is one thing, but i'll be most surprised if Japan have a clean sheet lol.
http://www.streamking.org/channel4.html Here are a few streams for the game. Calm down,its very sloppy but it`s a test game even Germany consided goals against every team from Ghana to USA to Armenia. So let`s see what happen
I freaking hate those vuvuzuela-esque sound coming from the crowd. I hope they won't be there in Brazil.
Man Okazaki just destroyed the Zambian GK...or more like the GK ran into a brick wall known as Okazaki
