Re: Official Youth (U20) Japanese NT Thread [R] Japan 1 - 0 Maldives ! Top two teams can advance, but now I don't know if they can even win over Myanmar.
Re: Official Youth (U20) Japanese NT Thread [R] Kakitani score a goal against Myanmar and another one against Laos. Somebody have video of these goals?

Re: Official Youth (U20) Japanese NT Thread [R] very exciting result and it's always good to beat a SEA team in their home stadium. down to 0-2 and steals a win in the very last minute btw, why is the name of stadium called Thai-Japanese Stadium?
Re: Official Youth (U20) Japanese NT Thread [R] wow Thailand really improved. or is it just that this japanese side is not as impressive as last years?
Re: Official Youth (U20) Japanese NT Thread [R] As usual, mediocre Japanese managers (U-22 Sorimachi, U-20 Makiuchi) who don't know professional football are spoiling the talented Japanese players. Remember the U-18 footballers played excellent football last year in the U-17 AFC championship.

Re: Official Youth (U20) Japanese NT Thread [R] i'll tell you this, mizunuma kota looks like a fantastic player. his 3 sub appearances for us this season have all been top quality for a young kid.

Re: Official Youth (U20) Japanese NT Thread [R] Scorers 6' Kosuke Yamamoto (Jubilo Iwata youth) 44' Shinji Kagawa (Cerezo Osaka) 92' Kohei Higa (Kashiwa Reysol youth)
Re: Official Youth (U20) Japanese NT Thread [R] surprised to see Yamazaki didn't get a goal. Kagawa delivers as usual though great great player!
Re: Official Youth (U20) Japanese NT Thread [R] 4;2 win is an amzing result for japan. Germany has one of the top youth academies in the world and lot of teams struggle against them physically, so this is an amazing feat for Japan U20s.
Re: Official Youth (U20) Japanese NT Thread [R] It's great Yamamoto with 2 goals this game, Yamazaki with one ( both playing for Jubilo) and Cerezo's Kagawa with the last goal
Re: Official Youth (U20) Japanese NT Thread [R] Not surprising. It's a youth tournament. I remember last U-20 team beat Germany thanks to Kashiwagi and Morishima in the Toulon Tournament in France.
