Worst scout ever
Thursday, June 19th, Japan vs. Greece at Estadio das Dunas, Natal (11pm BST, 6pm ET)
After watching the previous 90 minutes for both these sides, here's my tactical conclusions for the game ahead.
Both teams must play better.
Better than everything that's been said on ITV so far.After watching the previous 90 minutes for both these sides, here's my tactical conclusions for the game ahead.

Best analysis so far, must be tough on you to concentrate fully for 180 mins to come up with the conclusions. I couldn't have done any better.After watching the previous 90 minutes for both these sides, here's my tactical conclusions for the game ahead.

We must have really bored you with the first game.The only WC match i'm planning on missing (haircut time).
For shame, going to the barber whilst there is a game on. What an awful thing to do.The only WC match i'm planning on missing (haircut time).
If its any consolation, the game will almost surely be on at the barbers. I'm sure Japan will win and the thought of watching the Greeks again wasn't particularly appealing.For shame, going to the barber whilst there is a game on. What an awful thing to do.
This game has an awful timing though. 6am my time, ridiculous
The team hypnotist is at work right now convincing them they're lions...Well, Japan have the quality and should win this one. No excuses, they should go for it.
I'm a big fan of Japan. I love the way they play, but are you insinuating that Ivory Coast didn't try and play football, because from what I saw, Ivory Coast bossed the game?This is a better game for Japan than the Ivory Coast game. Japan tend to do well against A) teams with a deep defense line and B) technical teams that try to play football. Greece belongs definitely belongs to the former category.
Unfortunately for Japan, Greece also lost their first game, so they have to attack, and they'll use their superior physique to do so. Just like the Ivory Coast game, it's completely open. I expect this game to be more entertaining though. It's a clash of two completely different styles, and both teams have to win.
No, that's why I wrote tend to. I think if Japan and Ivory Coast played 10 games, Japan would definitely leave as the victor.are you insinuating that Ivory Coast didn't try and play football, because from what I saw, Ivory Coast bossed the game?
Ok.No, that's why I wrote tend to. I think if Japan and Ivory Coast played 10 games, Japan would definitely leave as the victor.
Japan chose a horrible approach to that game. They tried to defend their lead, which they suck at. They're not good at defending, nor attacking from deep into their own half, so that tactic was bound to fail. I'll never understand why they did that, and I hope it's not gonna come back and haunt them.
Nothing anywhere says he is. I think it`s more about his poor performance in the first game.No Kagawa. Is he injured?
Japan seem pretty clear that Honda is better player centrally than Kagawa ? Is he ?The greek coach has said that Japan play like a computer game, if you stop one part of the system, you break the game. For that reason, Okubo makes sense. He's looked a livewire in the friendly games.
