My bad, it was 1-0 away at Vietnam, ok now that's not too bad, but I still stand by my belief that there are still some rough edges that need to be smoothened going into next year's WC.

Fighto!
Where are all the Moriyasu critics now? Gone awfully quiet. He is managing Samurai Blue brilliantly, another great win
Granted, a win is a win but 1-0 at home against Vietnam isn't very impressive. More work needs to be done at this point of time.
