Singapore 1. Japan 2. World Cup Qualifiers



Japan won with difficulty in Sigapole. Though they started with 6 Europe based players, the content was for from satisfaction. As Japan had many chances but Singapore have more critical chances and they scored fine middle shoot.

Game by game, the performance of Japan get worse. Players can't enjoy the match nor do we, people watching the TV. Nakata told for the TV interview "Nothing has been improved. It is the problem in our heart. Change it before it's too late". Now we know we can expect nothing from Zico's management. Change it before it's too late.
