The team that I hope a lot is from Japan, I don't know but since Japan had those legendary players I really liked their way of playing, I don't know if they remember Nakata, and from that spectacular World Cup that was in France 98, in fact they had such star players at the time that they made the iconic Nike commercial.
Japan may not have much chance against giants like Germany or Spain, but anything is possible in football. Despite never advancing past the Round of 16 at a World Cup, Japan is a strong contender to go one step further this time. And with players with Premier League experience, like Takumi Minamino and Takehiro Tomiyasu, Japan may have a chance.
The World Cup has produced many of the most enduring football heroes of the modern era, and Japan's Minamino or Tomiyasu may well join them.
