Schedule: http://int.soccerway.com/internatio...2013-united-arab-emirates/group-stage/r20243/ Squad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_FIFA_U-17_World_Cup_squads#.C2.A0Japan First match is also possibly the hardest, against the european champions Russia, this friday.
Someone who watches J2 more than me (I just watch 2-3 games per year perhaps + the playoffs well at least this year) Can tell me how the boys who are playing in J2 are doing in general? Meaning Iwanami, Nakajima, Fukai... I mean all and all not that bad team Iwanami and Ueda at the back, Nakajima, Ishige, than Minamino, Suzuki Biggest problem I presume will be the GKs who unlike some of the players are not playing J-League football matches
Wait, maybe you clicked on the previous selection? Or I misunderstood your post btw http://www.fifa.com/u17worldcup/teams/team=1888308/index.html Actually Wataru Sasaki had to retire due to injury I think
Hope the team play as good as the last u-17 Japan World Cup squad did. Anyways good luck Nippon, hope you guys do Asia proud
note that against Tunisia is a rematch. We lost 2-1 against them earlier this year... let's hope for a different result
Eurosport will broadcast the competition...today's matches are streamed and the game of Japan is also streamed by Eurosport 1, at least in my country...
If you use Chrome or Firefox web browser you be able to install Hola Unblocker app that will let you watch it. It worked for the FIFA beach world cup and im from Australia.
Oh he's the GK, not even the starter? Woah all these half-black japanese guys remind me of him: NO FREE STREAM Well not "official free streams"
uh, indeed, I just realized it... edit: ah, btw I read somewhere that he was studying japanese. meh... Slovakia qualified with one win and had a nice pool due to being host. New Zealand, lol. Of course I'm sure both Brazil and Uruguay are very strong in any case
Looks like an interesting group, of course results are important but at their age I hope they make the most of this experience. I'm a bit worried about the lack of height in this squad, a lot of light weight players compared to the previous team.
