welp someone should exchange a few words with the JFA oh yeah, we'll use that to see the player's conditions, afterall we only have a confederations cup to play
http://www.mlssoccer.com/blog/post/2012/10/24/details-released-2016-copa-america-be-held-usa 2014-2015 will be pretty crazy for the NT. 2014 June-WC 2015 January-Asian Cup July- Copa America Three continental tournaments in the span of a year. Should be fun
Not directly NT related but here are the finalists of the design competition around the future Olympic Stadium ; http://www.jpnsport.com/
Didn't know where to put this, http://www.fifa.com/futsalworldcup/highlights/video/video=1833916/index.html Looks like Futsal Japan had a pretty cool comeback against Portugal, from 5-1 down to draw the game 5-5. They need to beat Libya convincingly to overturn a goal difference disadvantage (Libya's scores have been 1-5 and 0-13 against Brazil & Portugal).

I don't think so, it depends on how the match goes. Kiyo and Okazaki are obviously ahead of him, but he may get him on later if we're stuck in a draw or losing. otherwise I would expect Kengo I'm afraid Remember that he played in the olympics, and wasn't exactly a gamechanger unfortunately
I expect a starting line up with left Inui and on the right Okazaki. As the game goes on Usami has a decent chance making an appearance on that left replacing Inui. I only have two wishes. 1. Do no start with Mike Haveenar. 2. If you do start with him, can you please drop the 24/7 freaking high balls in the penalty area. Thank you in advance I also wonder, when will Zac start thinking about these defense call ups and trying other options
Don't forget how harsh was Zac's comment regarding him as a player who 'haven't developed greatly' in two last years. http://web.gekisaka.jp/?u=/index.fc...yW8&twi=109416&accessloc=main&accessby=widget
Don't think Zac will start playing newbies until we guarantee qualification, seems to be showing a lotta trust in Kengo though. Usami will probly only watch from bench, just like Haraguchi and Miyaichi before him.
You're right it's time to bring Tulio back in of course the reality check is that there are no other changes to do yeah maybe Mike out, but won't happen, a tactical "weapon" Shibasaki instead of Takahashi maybe? That's just personal selection anyway and it's not like he failed
