Ho hum..I just.. it's funny to see the two Asian nations were paired up with the -guay nations. South Korea losing to Uruguay on Saturday and Japan paired with Paraguay who play tomorrow. Haha..anyways, Japan has the skill in Honda to go very far. Deep in talent, freakin' legendary superstar Shunsuke Nakamura is benched over Daisuke Matsui and Yoshito Okubo. Style and sublime passing passing orchestrated by Yasuhito Endo and Makoto Hasebe, play has looked really good, beating Cameroon 1-0, going tooth and nail with the Netherlands, but losing 1-0 and convincingly beating Denmark 3-1. So the talent is there for sure. Manager Takeshi Okada's expectations were the semi-finals and they look the part. Not sure if they can beat the Spain/ Portugal winner, but they can at least reach the Quarterfinals. The first win in foreign soil from Cameroon and he's stretched it delivering quite the run in this tournament.
