After Osim's heart attack or stroke, Okada took over......quite conservative in nature, but made people sit up when he said Japan would make the last 4........took a massive risk at the WC when he changed the formation upside down and came back a hero.
Japan now has an Italian at the helm and things are really ticking along......new regime.....maturing players/players holding their own and making a name for themselves overseas......Japan is in a purple patch and I hope Miyaachi is part of that.
The Japan/Korea games are always passionate games.......not always classics but entertaining, Korea always seem to be more fiery and it does take Japan time to get going, taking the lead always helps because watching Japan I always worry when they go behind, but they showed fight in the AC and now Japan I feel are leagues ahead of Korea now and we would not be foolish to consider Honda and Kagawa as players that can really contribute.

oh dear time for the moroccan twat to piss off.
