Japan improved the most i think from all the country... their play style has changed alot since world cup 2006! Future opponent of Japan should practice already to face the Samurai Blue! they are in it to win it!



日本がんばれ！フィリピンから応援してます！
i still believe you guys can improve and beat the hell of everyone!

Great victory of the Samurai Blue.... it seemed like the ball had no intention to cross the goal... luckily at the the end the goal came and Japan secured the 3 points.... Kyotake, that's the player to watch... very young but fearless and talented.
I also liked Mike Avenaar... he put a lot of pressure on the defenders... let's see tomorrow what will happen with Uzbekistan... GO NIPPON GO..

Expected a game like this to happen, especially with the absence of Honda and Nagatomo. Zaccheroni was smart to put Havenaar in the end though, really good move.
Japan better do well against Uzbekistan on the 6th.. GO SAMURAI BLUES!

last part was so intense!

Anybody know if Honda played? Japan created some great chances also some nice defense from DPR. Unfortunately their star forward was on the bench so any offense they had was out the window.

Ooh i like Japan's gold fonts (:

Can't believe how many times Japan hit the post in this game. Korea DPR was definitely going for the draw in this match.

Good to see Kashiwagi get a chance to play. Seems like he played well.

Yeah, Japan were playing as though they were playing with their food. Finally, they ate it in the end.

Japan has got to finish their chances.

wtf.were they training to hit the post instead of scoring the goal
