Japan's football

by rejliverpool (U9088)

Japan were unlucky against Italy last night but they played some great football. Japan as a nation started taking football seriously from about the 80/90's, Linekers move to Grampus 8 and all that. They look technically ahead of England and for a nation who started football later than all other nations, they look like they can compete with the best on their day. How have Japan in their short footballing experience are able to produce players like Honda, Kagawa, Nakata and play great football while we in England can't string 3 passes together and resort to parking the bus in front of goal against the bigger nations.

This is not an English class and occasional mistakes can be made.

We have the better players Lampard D but its the football which is the question.

Surely we have better coaches than them!!

My slant on this is that we should nip it in the bud.

They play some nice football, but they're still too naive to aspire to bigger andbetter things. More players in the big leagues will help them, but as an int'l side, I think playing regional tournaments and qualifiers in Asia will continue to hold them back for some time.

The problem is management Imo. If England were managed better in the past or are currently managed well then result and style of play wouldn't look so bad. You don't expect Roy to play pass and move, do you?
