Live streams will appear here 1 hour before the game: http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchid=262206&part=sports Your predictions + line up?
My prediction for a line up Kawashima Uchida - Yoshida - Konno - Nagatomo Hasebe - Endo/Yamaguchi Okazaki - Honda - Kagawa Osako later on substitutions - Okubo -> Osako - Endo or Yamaguchi for Endo or Yamaguchi - Saito for Okazaki - Aoyama coming in for Hasebe last 10-20 minutes ......................................................... - Kiyotake maybe replacing Kagawa - Maybe Morishige for Konno All I want is game with purpose, I dont expect them to go full in either running or tackling and I dont want them. I do expect them to establish the passing game, the supremacy and start showing the Japan spark anything less then that and I wont be happy. Also I think Osako has a great chance to become number one striker for the WC if he can pull off a good game with some goal for extra I'll get up at 3 am for this game heh
I'm not sure, sorry. But it's in 1 hour. Personally, I have no predictions to make but I hope that Costa Rica fields their best team unlike their recent friendlies against Korea and Chile. They have all their players there so there's no reason to, and they've had a very solid WCQ, so while their group may be stacked, I expect a good opponent. I hope Japan plays it with intensity
They would be wise to field their best squad, as this friendly will give them a much better look at World Cup quality and competition, opposed to their next friendly against Ireland on the 6th. I'm expecting Japan to face a very good Costa Rica tonight(or this morning for everyone else )
Interesting lineup! Note that Gotoku is still injured, and Yuto had a slight injury after the last match, so it had to be Konno or Inoha. And I don't even remember if Inoha can play on both sides. Saito seems to be having minor nuisances
A good quality link, guessing they are doing some pre talk right now: http://funkeysports.com/beinsports-11-live-stream.html
You're welcome. My prediction is 2-0 for Japan. I hope Kakitani gets in and scores a goal, he is my favorite player
No disrespect to Costa Rica but to me they look like one of the weakest team at the World Cup alongside Honduras. So Japan should pull this off.
Interesting lineup, lot of questions. What formation? Will 3-4-3 make another appearance somewhere? How will Okubo, Aoyama go? How will a Aoyama-Yamaguchi partnership go? Will Morishige put in a real top draw performance for CB? Can Japan not concede a totally retarded goal today?
I agree with that, CONCACAF isn't the most rigorous qualifying region out there. It's not a coincidence that both of those teams come from it.
