I've set up a poll for Japanese international defenders. Some of them are wingbacks registered as defenders and are included here. Who do you think is the right man to make up Japan's defense line? The current selection is Tanaka, Miyamoto, Santos, Nakazawa, Tsuboi, Murai, Kaji, Komano, and Moniwa. Vote!
I voted for Miyamoto cause he is the man! My defenders for WC 2006 are Miyamoto, Nakazawa, Kaji, Tanaka, Komano, Miura, Moniwa Yea, Nobuhisa Yamada would be great! one of my fave players Zico, call him back for NT!!!
What is the name of the guy that played right back during Confederations Cup 2001? i remember his last name was Yamada, and he think he had NR 22.
Do you mean 2003? then it is Nobuhisa Yamada of Urawa. He was was never called back after the cabaret incident.
Yes of course i mean 2003, aha so the guy is listed here. I remember him being a damn great defender. I've never heard about that incident can you tell me more about it?
Yamada, Okubo and Moniwa went out partiyng and broke curfew or something along those lines, Maybe more players
He's a possibilty, Think all has been forgiven since Okubo and Moniwa have been called back to the NT in the past year. I would like to see him at least in the squad to go to germany
HAHA...I remember that incident, they abused the female staffmembers by attacking htem by flying sushi or whatever...haha
