Japan romp to 4-0 friendly win over Iraq

Good to see them playing a world-class side!

Does Iraq still train outside of Iraq? It would be risky within Iraq if ISIS is slowly taking over

Saw the highlights of this game on ESPN3. Looks like Japan is a powehouse. The rest of the world should do themselves a big favor and not even show up at the next WC. Just give Japan the trophy now and be done with it.

Japan has some excellent players now. If they manage to actually play as a team (which they failed at during the last World Cup), they should be a force to reckon with in 3 years. We currently have 12 Japanese playing in the German Bundesliga and players like Kagawa and Uchida are not only recognized for their skills but also loved for their personalities. You go, Japan!
