Most likely I think, very interested to watch.

 

I know for one that I will be nervous as hell if Havenaar starts and they begin blasting that balls into the penalty area.

By the way Havenaar is playing as a AML/inside striker (something similar to what Okazaki plays for Japan) for Vitesse

 

No Ribery tonight? Confirmed?

 

It seems France will not have some of their main players tobight?

 

Deshamps said that he'll use the team constructed over second string players which is completely understable for a friendly before a WC qualifiers game.

He said that yesterday (or even earlier, I can't remember that but I read that earlier) in the words of: 'If I'll use him from the start or later on, I'm thinking about that'. I don't know when all the rush in the medias started. Nikkan even wrote that he won't play against France without any credible evidence today (if him not talking to the press yesterday was an evidence...). For me it was clear since that article saying that he played in Moscow derby with that light injury that we'll see him tonight (though if he won't start that won't have any deep meaning). He doesn't have to play in the training games for full week to play in the actual game (just like it was in CSKA).

実現すればマンチェスター・ユナイテッドのファンペルシーＶＳ香川、インテル・ミラノのスナイダーＶＳ長友など見どころ満載の対戦となる。

Many things have changed in just two and a half years... But it's hard not to agree with Zac saying that's necessary to play with the strongest as the serious opposition in Asia is basically limited to the two other countries.

 

Just like the Olympic sides approach, with all these tricky, quick, and highly mobile players coming through, over the next few years the well executed counter attack will be key to getting more results like this.

 

Absoutely. We are still far from being as technically developed as the opposition of the highest level. At least far from it in every area of the game. So we'll have to make recourse to other ways to achieve the results.

Besides craftiness, in this game I feel stamina was one of those things that gave them upper hand over their opposition as the end was approaching.

 

Will say something crazy and out of this world. Call up Genki Omae after this friendlies

 

tell me about Genki Omae and your reasoning on why he should be called up.
first off, I'm not objecting. I rarely know about J-League clubs and players. I'm clueless about Japanese players unless they're discussed and talked about. in JNT I only know about the overseas-based players. I wanna know more about the players fans want in JNT.

 

That's a completely crazy and deep reasoning, here it is : http://www.j-league.or.jp/data/view.php?d=cup&t=result&y=NEW0100&l=E

 

I saw him score with head even though he is a little boy


But you know, I bet ya now that I think about it seriously, he would fit in JNT more than Havenaar


here you go BigDnm01

 

I can see why you like Genki Omae.

 

Two things.
a) Endo overtook Ihara: is it possible that it would happen a little celebration in the 1st home game that we'll play?
b) Yesterday:
Iraq-Australia 1-2 (Iraqi were naive, only the referee prevent us from winning against the Aussies)
Oman-Jordan 2-1 (Jordans.. they could be a surprise, but they can't lose these matches)

So
Japan 10
Australia, Oman 5
Jordan 4
Iraq 2

I think Iraq it's out. At least for direct qualification: they seem too naive, they lost strange games.
I still bet on Jordan as third placed (or second).
Next games will be Oman-Japan and Iraq-Jordan. With a draw in the other game and a win by our boys, we will 80% qualified.

 

just reposting since it has nothing to do with the Brazil game and more about the general situation

 

Japan played with Brasil in Wroclaw (Poland) yesterday. Have you seen the game? Here's a set of photos from the field Japan vs. Brasil in Poland and from the bleaches Japanese and brasilian fans at the stadium in Wroclaw.
