Since they play exactly the same way when they have eleven on the pitch.... not a lot. 18 minutes into the game Greece had completed 26 passes. Tells you all you need to know.

Jason the Yank Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 For **** sake. Why did I bet on Japan? Same here. Fortunately I got most of it back by taking the under. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkas Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Well they had 14 shots (6 or 7 on target) last game and didn't score once. We Greeks have slow squad so slow tempo and deep defending is default. Not our fault Japan tried crosses on our good center backs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltman Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Every World Cup Japan turn up without anybody looking remotely like a centre-forward in the squad. I mean, they could have grown one in a test-tube after 1998 and it would be nearly there. Best bet is to try and naturalise Emile Heskey or Peter Crouch or something.

deerokus Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Ah, Greece, trying their hardest to get football stopped for at least 10 years. Japan have been extremely disappointing. As mentioned, it's funny, they regularly produce good-to-very good midfielders and decent players in other positions, but only ever seem to have tiny lower league players to play up front.
