The other oponents will feel the same way and fight for their countries. It does not matter, and I think that Japan will be eliminated at the first stage.

I agree that pressure is good, so long as it is used to fuel good playing, and not as an excuse for flubbing things up. I wish Japan the best of luck, and while I don't think they can get past the first round, I would love for them to prove me and everyone else wrong.

Story writers please correct yourselves. The Japanese team is nicknamed Samurai Blue.
