it could happen. But when it comes to attack speed, I think Japan has that. and yes, the strong determination of Japanese players is indeed something that always troubles their opponents. But besides being tough in defense, Croatia is also very good at attacking. and in fact, if we look back at history, we can see that Japan has never seemed to win against Croatia. So if Japan can win this match. then it would be a great thing for Japan.
Well, if you analyze it like that, then Japan has never defeated Germany and Spain before this World Cup, everything happens for the first time, but I believe that Japan is not so good to beat Croatia, their match with Spain still causes a lot of controversy. Croatia's defense is one of the best in this tournament and I wouldn't be surprised if Japan can't score a single goal. The Japanese have a lot of desires, but the Croats are much stronger than them, so I expect Croatia to win in regular time.
I actually see that Croatia should be able to change their strategy. Croatia's defense is solid. but in this match it is croatia must focus on how to overcome the speed of the Japanese players. And as we know that Japan has always carried out a continuous attack strategy. even the German defense which was also sturdy was penetrated by the tenacity of the Japanese players in attacking. But the weakness of the Japanese team is that they are sometimes a little late in overcoming counterattacks from opponents. maybe croatia can take advantage of this. But I hope Japan wins. because I have supported Japan from the beginning.
