    She's been terrible though. The ball doesn't really stick with her and now every first touch is very negative.

    I guess this tournament is Tanaka's last chance if she had any. But I don't think she made any impact. If everyone is fit, I don't think she'll be in the squad.

    Momiki still remains as just a luxury player. When everything is going well for the team, she looks great. With two of our creative players are missing, more is expected from her. She is more involved after she was moved to centre instead of Ikejiri. Hopefully she produce something in the second half.

    Sugasawa didn't deliver at WWC although she had play with team for years. Imo Tanaka needs more matches in NT to be as effective as she is for Beleza.

    F.T. Japan 1 Korea Rep 0...Momiki (pen)

    First impressions...very disappointed with our performance today after our performances in the two previous games
    Looked more like one of those 'where are the goals gonna come from' games we got used to watching
    Won because of a Saki type penalty but I suppose a win is a win.

    They did it, they won thier toughest game and done it without players like Iwabuchi, Hasegawa, Shimizu, Sameshima or Kumagai.
    It wasn't preatty with so many chnages to the team and Koreans did put up a good fight but none the less - the last 20 minutes was all Japan and they did find the way to score.
    match MVP for me: Minami, (Miyake also wasn't bad considering she almost didn't play this year)
    Nakajima looked tired.

    Apart from injuries, I guess no team in this tournament have actually been at 100%, because of the fact that (not being in a FIFA window, I suppose), not all overseas clubs released their players: for instance, I see Korea hadn't Ji So-Yun, that I suppose was in England with Chelsea.

    Since all of the matches were on the morning here in Europe, I missed all of them live. :(

    I am anyway happy that we won the tournament (and this is consistent with our dominance in Asia in the latest years, including AFC Asian Cup, Asian Games and many youth tournaments).

    As @Lechus7 pointed out, we were missing too many players to post a very good performance: there is a limit to the number and quality of players that you can do without, and losing Hasegawa and Iwabuchi, who had arguably been our best players in this tournament so far, was the last straw.

    I didn't watch the game (I'll try to do later), so I can't judge the performance, but the silver lining was that we anyway won the game despite missing so many key-players. :)

    Nice! Exactly what she needs to raise up her game again, after the quite sad end of the season with Nagano! :)

    Well, it was more or less written on the wall, since she wasn't playing anymore, not even as a sub. Wonder if she was still recovering from an injury, but anyway Freiburg didn't look like the right place for her.
    I suppose she's done for the 2019-2020 Bundesliga season and she's going to get back in Japan or in another "solar year" league.

    Is it mentioned if she's going to get back at Urawa?

    I like the "Energizer Bunny" nickname. :giggle: Seriously, at 35 she remains one of our most high-profile internationals.

    I have to wonder if North Korea will show up for the Olympic qualifier. Anyway, they could be quite rusty, after so much time without an high level match... :cautious:

    Oh, well, it's non a Japan's problem, after all, this time around! :p

    The German text says she is leaving because she wants to play in the Olympics and needs more playtime which she didn't get. It does not say where is is going to in Japan.

    I finally watched the highlights. That penalty! That was a joke. If the roles were reversed nobody would be happy with that being given. Defender's arm by her side being hit by a ball kicked from close range. It is only the East Asian competition so it does not matter that much.

    If you take Iwabuchi and Hasegawa out of the team a lot of other players do not look quite so good. But let us be honest, South Korea are pretty solid in defence and would have been difficult to break down with Iwabuchi and Hasegawa. Also there are some players who are probably pretty tired. No Ueki as well.

    It looks like Takakura went with a 4-4-2. I can kind of understand it, but I would have liked to see a three woman midfield. But she tried a few different things, which I think is fine for this tournament.

    I am not a huge fan of Mina Tanaka, but I think while she continues to score goals at club level she should be picked for the national squad. I believe that people who play well at club level at the highest level in their country should be rewarded.

    This is also why I was surprised to see Hayashi and Ueno in the squad.

    As for the experiments at the back...I will pass judgement when they play against somebody good. But they are all gaining experience, which is a good thing.
