Japan with lots of hype faced Croatia. Japanese soccer experts as usual predicted a 2-0 win for Japan. They analysed all the negative points of Croatia and the goods of Japan but not the alternate. They decided themselves and have put lot of pressure on its players and the Media went mad with second round entry for Japan.
As I expected Japan and Croatia made a draw without even scoring a single goal. Kawaguchi made a nice save of a floppy penalty kick by the Croatian striker. He also saved few more goals while his defenders as usual dumped him on so many occasions.
Miyamoto was just present as a captain and I am happy he bagged two yellow cards and he won't be there for the Brazil match. Japan really needs to throw out people like Miyamoto and Yanagisawa who can't convert a goal when he is just 2 metres away from the goal with the Goal keeper in no position to block the ball.
Zico introduced Inamoto in the second half and he did somewhat well. Nakata sparkled with few good shots and I can't believe what happened to Croatia, the team that did very well against Brazil
I am sure that Japan's chances for the second round are already over. The best they can settle for a draw with Brazil if they perform exceptionally well. I don't think Japan wins with a margin of 2 goals to enter the second round
Besides Brazil is also not playing promisingly and I think Ronaldo should be better replaced with Robinho.
France gave another sloppy performance and I am happy atleast one asian country South Korea will be in the second round with their with draw France.
Argentina did a wonderful display of power and performance against Serbia & Montenegoro
I wish atleast one African team Ghana will be in the second round.
Australia also deserve a place with their good performance against Brazil though they lost the match 2-0.
I also wish Ecuador dump Germany in the final leaque match so that Englad will face Germany in the second round.
日本チーム本当にお疲れ様でした。また2010年にかんばってね。
More exciting days in the second round
