Kim Jin-Hyeon not high on Greece either http://www.nikkansports.com/soccer/news/f-sc-tp1-20140307-1267098.html "Japan is better at breaking down defenses, and the Greek defense can't stay with one-two combinations. They have some very good players, but the defensive positioning is poor making them vulnerable to our counterattacks. They have tactical problems as well and Japan should be able to beat them. On the other hand, they have big players who are strong in the air, so set pieces are a threat. Greece has amazing concentration in the 18 yard box."
There is a huge difference between their 2nd choice defence and their 1st choice. Sokratis and Padapoulous didn't play if I remember correctly.
The Pokemon Company and Adidas will support the Samurai Blue in Brazil. Uchida will be very happy....
I feel like Charmander would be Okazaki, Bulbasaur is Endo, Squirtle is Yoshida. other than those 3, pikachu and meowth i don't know any of the other pokemon here.
To be very honest..i can only recognize pikachu.... When Pokemon was released, i was past my anime/game days.
His name is Ryuta Nesmith, and one of two African-Asian members of the group Exile. I probably haven't posted on BS since the last World Cup, it's too hard to keep up with events in the US w/time zone differences and barely any coverage of Euro football let alone Asian. But getting excited for another WC. Happy to see Nagatomo is still doing quite well at Inter, so I won't have to buy a new jersey ^_^ We share a crush for Homaki. Apparently Endo is still in the mix too... that guy is going to put Nanami to shame. I'm feeling for Kagawa though. The way he was ignored in 2010... and now he's gone to a mercenary club like ManU. Wish Asian players would just stay away from EPL... it's an incestuous and cannibalistic league that offers almost no potential for growth. Everyone should know that after Ina. Bundesliga seems the best location. Established players have done decently in Serie A as well, and players with question marks have generally gotten decent shots to prove themselves in Eredivisie/Eerste.
