[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Japan vs Spain. What a good game. Japan is looking great! [/quote]

Well Spain sure missed their starting goalkeeper, centre-back and holding midfielder who were left at home. Good move coach not bringing your best players.[/quote]

Yep all the goals were generated in the center of the field ie center back involvement or lack there of. [/quote]

Center of the field? Alright Peter Gammons, because Japan was counter attacking, they gameplanned to let spain pass sideways and down the channels looking for space, which opened them up and pulled their back-line further up field. No one player, no matter where they are on the field is going to stop that. Japan historically is better than Spain, so no surprises here other than how many goals they got and holding Spain scoreless, that's impressive![/quote]

You really do not know what you are talking about. Japan is not historically better vs Spain. Japan is a hard core possession team. Spain plays a modern version of total football. Spain can and will break down teams with passing, the long ball or off the dribble. Only idiot think being able to possess the ball means you never attack. 
Did you watch the game! The first two goals were the central defense break down. The central defender, goalie and midfield players Spain left at home are world class players. Those two field players are much faster vs what Spain had on the field. Japan would not have been able to run by them. Plus they play for the same club. That would mean no defensive break downs. Those player would have been a huge up grade both technically, soccer iq and athletically.

So tell me how you think the US would do leaving Lavelle and Horan at home? Oh wait you said no player makes a difference! [/quote]

Japan is historically a better program, they've made two finals and won one. Spain not so much, never mentioned anything about H2H, I have no idea what that looks like. Japan was way better yesterday so not sure what your point is, other than be just wrong about if Japan is better than Spain. [/quote]

The PP you responded to said Japan was a “hardcore possession team”, but they threw that out the window and attacked relentlessly and let Spain have most of the possession. So fun to watch japan’s elite finishing skills.[/quote]

+1  I'm a DP who was blown away by how Japan came in with a game plan for Spain and executed it flawlessly. They were organized and disciplined on defense, electric on the counter-attack, and clinical in finishing. They looked energetic and fit. [/quote]
