    I don't expect the performance of the Bulgaria game.

    Wow just realized that Japan have won all of their games in 2015 but 5 goals so far.

    I can't watch, but what's the formation? I see both Asano and Okazaki so I'm confused

    Usami turning his best NT performances. He's really impressive, the trust Vahid put in him is paying on.

    sloppy giveaways from both teams, not sure what's going on. Hangover from the win over Bulgaria I guess. Usami has been the star though I agree

    meh...

    good to hear Usami rising his credentials and that Bosnia is putting up competition despite missing its key players

    It's a crime against the game that Asano committed. There goes the tie.

    A few notes:

    Usami was unstoppable in the first half but not so much in the second and got rightly subbed.

    Duric is too good to play in Serie B. Unless Cesena isnt aiming to get a promotion in A, i am expecting a move to a Serie A club.

    Asano disappointed me, he did nothing relevant in this game.

    As RW, Asano did a good job.
    He only misses killer-instict under the goal, but so do their way more famous team-mates, so...

    Asano didn't do nothing at all, he constantly ran behind the Bosnian defense, his movement was really excellent. The end product though. Winger or not, he should have scored that last chance easily.

    I noticed. And Okazaki cant play as a lone striker, he doesnt have the killer instict.

    Bosnia isnt Bulgaria. On their good days can be a very competitive team.
