Japan played bloody well. Honda's free kick tricks worked again! Japan were quicker and technically superior to Denmark, always 1 step ahead of them.

Paraguay is next, The BLUE SAMURAI can do it!


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Japan, Holland Go On?
HOLLAND and Japan have both qualified for the knockout stage of the World Cup after they notched up convincing wins over eliminated rivals Cameroon and Denmark.

Have your say.

NIPPON DAIHYO BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI! TENNO HEIKA BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI!

Good to see Asian teams still fighting hard

Go Japan. gee they played well. So, who thinks they can do over Paraguay?

天皇陛下万歳？ｗ
dunno about that,but how was Endo? superb kick.Honda is a new force to be reckoned with.The wife is happy---->I am happy.LOL

lets just say, i'm glad that that bet i had with my dad about japan not even winning a game didn't go through :lol:

Japan and Sth Korea are looking REALLY good.

Asian Cup in January will be very interesting.

we're certainly gunna have a tough time of it that's for sure

From what I have seen so far Japan are a much better proposition to go further than Sth Korea on form. It has surprised me that the Japanese had no faith in their coach yet went out there in all games and played well. I think Australians did a similar thing in the last 2 games after seeing the river that Pim did put them in without a paddle in the Germany game.

If you lose the first game you are always behind the 8 ball. Japan and Sth Korea both won their first games and the end result is what it is.

well done Nippon:)

Nederlands looking good. Robben had a short run and made a BIG difference.

Just hope that the egos are in check a van Marwick has the team glued together well, like the USA where everyone seems to get on well with other team members.
If they do this I expect a top 4 finish from them at least!
