Dont worry, the game against Ghana will have a “ controlled “ result.

but Switserland is going to trash Japan in Russia , Paraguay is an inconsistent team.

Japan2018 is one of the weakest teams Japan ever send to a worldcup and i think the last time Japan would qualify if the next worldcup would not have 48 instead of 32 teams.

Japan is not going to get past the group stage.

Whether they do well or not, they should concentrate more on football skills, and less on their hairstyle.

Nishino was keen to stress that many of his players were not expected to reach their peak until they open their World Cup Group H campaign against Colombia in Saransk.

Didn't Halhilodzic say the same?

To be fair, they aren’t alone in this. Not too many modern players are sporting a crew cut. Some players seem to spend as much time on beard grooming as they do on their hair.

The same guard that has lost it for them every other time? hahaha... and I can see Honda already preparing to blame it on everyone else while promoting his own efforts.
