Main reason of this lost game was Kawaguchi's unneeded going out but foward Yanagisawa who is a treasure of Japanese Coach Zico was also the one. It seems like that Zico patronizes him. He missed a couple of chances. Especially it was terrible; Takahara dribbled and he attracted defenders and goal keeper and he passed to Yanagisawa. But his shoot was not a shoot but a tender pass to goal keeper. It was bery front of keeper. I wonder if why Yanagisawa was chosen for National team because Zico chose these member according to contribution to National team because Yanagisawa did not bring any contribution but minus things.
Honestly, Japan is the worst team ever in this World Cup. In this condition, Japan's World Cup will soon over with massive lost goals vs Croatia and Brazil.
Anyway, they must win the game vs Croatia. If they lost, there is no chance to go to final stage. And final match in group league, vs Brazil. If Brazil won successively 2 games before vs Japan, it will be unimportant match for Brazil and they will use farm team to make players take a rest. Whatever, in both cases, it relies on others and we can't expect winning.
If you want to enjoy World Cup more, you had better pick up another team except Japan.
