Saudi Arabia were demolished! I wondered wy they didn't go to the World Cup and I've got my answer.... Now, quarter finals, Qatar vs. Japan!Hopefully it will be a close call!
Japan looked really good. They had lots of direct passes, side changes, and overall they were moving the ball alot faster. They played better than the games against jordan and syria. But, to tell teh truth, tehy should have scored more, since saudi arabia didn't give a s**t about this game cause they were already out. Now, we have to play qatar, and after that probably either korea or australia. It is going to be hard for japan. They lost makino and matsui, and honda hurt his ankle, which may affect him later on. Kagawa is not back in track, but okazakis been amazing this tournament, nishikawa did well this game playing goalie, and all the young guys are playing without any fear. The next three games (if they make it) will be pretty damn hard, but I believe that japans the country that should win this thing
Good win by japan, we have to beat Qatar, then most likely Australia to go to the finals, we gotta' do better then this to win the Asian Cup, should have been 10 - 0
