Japan beats Costa Rica 3-0 in dream start for new coach

Good win! I am glad this is done so I don't have to be reminded anymore on how I couldn't buy tickets.

Awesome photo! And you see? Now that Honda and the "old guard" Japan is doing well.

You're getting all in a joy over one game against Costa Rica (which didn't even make it to the knock-out round of the World Cup)? Don't make it sound like it was winning the Euros or Champions League match. True, it's a nice start, but too small a sample size and too early to call this team and coach a success yet.
