"Japan controlled the flow of play but was unable to capitalize on its chances."
If Japan could get some consistent strikers (not Honda kicking the ball everywhere but in the net) they would be much more of a force to reckon with than they are now. They've really upped their game since 2006, but they still lack the ability to score.

Totally agree with you there, smith. I had high expectations for Morimoto but he hasn't done much yet. Japanese needs another Kazu, or better yet, another Kamamoto.

They woke up to late and can be happy Peru didn't score!
