There is nothing particularly noteworthy about the past games Japan played against strong opposition like Spain and Germany. The only intriguing quality is the determination to get through the group stage. A well-built and cohesive team will make for a challenging match. Croatia is a very strong defensive team, so I predict a draw in the game. Croatia will triumph on penalties.
Well good football is one thing but in the case of Japan, they are Just finding a way to win their matches which is the most important thing in football. No matter how beautiful your football, the thing that matters most is the baging of that crucial three points. Japan knows how to hold the line against a team that is good in playing the ball but the only time they faced a team where they are the ones doing the playing they lost @costa rica. Their game against the croatians i think is really going to be a boring match because both team will be very careful not to misuse the ball and concede a goal. As for the game ending a draw, i don't think there wil be a draw maybe japan might just scale through with a goal at nearly stoppage time.
Spacebar96 you understand football and you have said it as you understood. I want you to understand that the Crotia team of this world cup is not close to what we had last world cup interms of quality. Their saving grace is good defense and Japanese also have good defence that is why they will score less goals and the match likely end in draws and I'm penalty kick I don't know the country that has a better keeper.
