I agree, it's thin margins, and at halftime this game could have gone either way. Iran started the second half strong, the Japan defense...
Itakura had a shocking game, so bad that it's fair to say that he cost us the game. That's the immediate reason why we crashed out, but the...
Iraq did to Japan what Japan did to Germany at the World Cup. This wasn't a debacle of a performance by Japan, like the Costa Rica game. Iraq were...
Not a huge surprise that this move isn't working out for him, considering how his agent left him without a contract until the very last minute,...
Looked like Kyogo was tiring badly in the second half, much like the rest of the team. He gave the ball away at least three times in the 15...
It was a good performance with the high energy pressing and many attacking runs that Canada could not deal with. For some reason, Junya Ito and...

I wouldn’t say it’s bad luck. He (and his agent) picked the wrong club. Same deal as the Liverpool transfer. It was a bad idea to go to a club...
This game wasn't a disaster like the Costa Rica loss, but I agree with those who have said that Moriyasu's tactics could have been better. Knowing...
Before the game, Doan said "I know the style of their game, and I can't lose twice to the same opponents", referring to our Olympic semi-final...
Pulling off the upset would be nice, I'm not gonna lie, but I'm hoping for at least a good performance so that we can leave the tournament with...
While this may be so, there’s also the argument that a defensive style is more effective in international football, because to develop a slick...
Yep, this one is pretty clearly on Moriyasu. The American commentators (which included Landon Donovan) were questioning his team selection even...
- I actually felt okay about the first half. Yes, Germany dominated possession, but that was the plan, and we defended valiantly and kept it at...
