Bundesliga's Japanese contingent on 'equal footing' ahead of World Cup

Really looking forward to seeing Japan team in Qatar, historically Japan play better when the pressure is off..

Wow. I didn’t know that Japan was as strong as Germany in soccer.

And I don’t know if even any Japanese or German players had any active role in the match. That was more a match of several rented international C-line players who are usually benched.

“ "There are a lot of Japanese players in the Bundesliga now and I think we're on an equal footing with them (the German national team) now," Kamada told AFP. “

What the … (!)

( O_O )

Asian footballing giants South Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Japan possess skill, stamina, and a never-say-die spirit. If they play to their potential, they all look capable candidates for the next stage and even beyond at the 2022 Qatar FIFA Football festivities. All the best.

Japanese to the part Asian footballs teams can't handle the pressure in football matches. These kind of articles are nothing but mere chest pumping for the public mood.no real results to show and this happens with Japanese media every time when we have international tournament. But nothing is better than good competent matches rather than one sided matches.

Germany would like to avoid further injuries, for their point of view they don't want to push in first match but rather go easy and built momentum. Germans would settle for draw (minimum result)

for JP team draw is like a win situation hence different mentality on the pitch. More chest pumping for Japanese media and nation.

All the best to playing teams.have fun!
