The Japanese players look a bit too short to compete at international level, a bit like the men's squad

Here we go again! And I bet the Japan side was tired, too, and saving up energy. Sheesh. What teams has Japan beaten in the past and what were the heights then?

-1 ( +3 / -4 )

Height may be relevant in basket ball but it is irrelevant in football. This time round the team just were not good enough. It happens.

3 ( +4 / -1 )

You mean soccer doo-doo.

Height is quite relevant in football.

-8 ( +0 / -8 )

The topic is football, doo-doo.

You mean American football, which is totally irrelevant here.

6 ( +6 / -0 )

Japan are a side in transition at the moment but there are some good prospects there.

England looking a very a decent side.

0 ( +1 / -1 )

Yup.

Height is quite relevant in football.

That as well.

-3 ( +0 / -3 )

Japan are a side in transition at the moment but there are some good prospects there.

So are Germany, mind you. Nevertheless, the Germans keep the bar high and yet get results. Since Takakura has been given the reins of this teams, I fail to see what she is planning to do when her team simply can't find a way to compete against the top sides when that is the bar that must be set.
