Japan on cusp of World Cup after beating China 3-1

Of course, they qualify in the Asia group. The one that has 3 half capable teams but gets 4( or is it 6 now?) World cup spots.

Well, I missed the match and only saw highlights because I had to go to bed early. Saw highlights on DAZN, easy win China were well rubbish and there for the taking you see.

Good job Japan!

Another dominate performance from Japan. They will be one of the big threats at the World Cup in America. I think they will be top 4 at least.

I guess this is going to be a World Cup with an expanded field of teams? Seems more Asian teams than usual will qualify

Blue Samurais are doing fine. On their day those speedy Japanese footballers are capable of imparting shock treatment to the very best in the game.

Moriyasu and his Samurai-Blue are daring to dream of glory in North America in 2026. Not sure I'd be willing to bet against them, either!

Hats off also to the Taegeuk Warriors, whose fans may as well start checking for tickets to the US in '26, like the Japanese fanatics.

Japan usually strolls through qualifying

Their problem is when they don't have the ball against stronger teams

LOL!!!
