    When is Japan naming its squads for the U23's and the A-team games?

    Montenegro is getting better and better, their national team is just from 2006 I think.

    Just look at their European Championship qualifiers table.

    1 Montenegro 4 3 1 0 3 0 3 10
    2 England 3 2 1 0 7 1 6 7
    3 Switzerland 3 1 0 2 5 5 0 3
    4 Bulgaria 3 1 0 2 1 5 -4 3
    5 Wales 3 0 0 3 1 6 -5 0

    Impressive? Yes.

    Did Japan play any more matches after the last FIFA rankings came out? :confused:

    Elo still has Japan at #12.

    Maybe Usami but the other two aren't ready yet. I'd like to see Seto proven at a higher level cause lets be honest J1 is higher than that and we have plenty of japanese dominating J1 :)

    Rumanian League is not that weak, and to think he is the captain I have a strong belief in Seto.
    I have the feeling CMF and DMF would be JNT's weak point in upcoming years, not like SMF or AMF which have plenty of choices, so I'd be happy if Zac trys as many players in this position in friendly matchs as possible.

    Let's be honest, none of us have seen Seto play. It's a little bit hard to beg for a call up.

    Call him up so we can see what he's made of ;)
    To be honest, I was not impressed with Hosogai and T.Honda(?) in Asian Cup. Endo wouldn't maintain his form for much longer, and he now is a shadow of what he was 2,3 years ago. Hasebe is class, very all-around, sensational fighting spirit but I think he is not type of player that will boss the midfield.

    In Asian Cup time, I always mentioned JNT's play was kind of unbalanced. And I think maybe the point is :
    --------------Honda-------------
    ------Endo-----------Hasebe-----
    was sometime very fragile, especially when the 2 SBs are very attacking mind. Many times JNT conceded goals even when they were leading. They couldn't keep the possession in crucial times, it's a very strange thing because all Japaneses players are supposed to have good techniques and passings :eek:

    In case Endo passed his year, I hope:
    ------------Honda----------
    -----Hosogai------Hasebe-----
    can make it.

    Or :
    --Hasebe------Seto-------
    --------Kashiwagi-----------
    in Pirlo-Ambrosini-Gattuso fashion is not a bad choice.

    If Seto wants to prove himself, he should join a J League team. The JNT isn't the place to weigh up unknown quantities.

    We've known how bad Tamada, Yano, and Okubo are and yet they managed to get over 100+ caps combined.

    Wow, do we have any "pure" defensive midfielders? With our crazy fullbacks, I'm not going to trust Hasebe

    WELLINGTON (AFP) - New Zealand's international friendly against Japan scheduled for Tokyo this month may be replaced by a second game against China, New Zealand Football boss Frank van Hattum said.

    The devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan has put the March 29 fixture against the Asian champions in jeopardy.

    Van Hattum on Saturday told Radio New Zealand that other options were already being considered including a second match against China who they are already down to play in Wuhan on March 25.

    I would like to hear an update about the status of both friendlies for the end of the month.

    Does anyone think they should be called off?

    It depends on how quickly Japan will recover from the damage.

    If J. League games resume next week then I think NT friendlies are safe.

    Apparently the French are encouraging their people to leave Tokyo in case a radiation cloud reaches there. Sounds like an overreaction though.
