With almost the same skeleton for years, Colombians can count on its two stars Radamel Falcao and James
Rodriguez. The latter, top scorer at the 2014 World Cup has returned to the highest level this season with Bayern
Munichn.
Japan is totally unknown for this World Cup. Since the dismissal two
months ago of Vahid Halilhodzic, Japan sails in troubled waters. It was Akira
Nishino who recovered the responsibility of the Japanese team, a choice assumed
by the federation last April: "We thought that the new coach should be
from the Federation, since we do not have any more only two months before the
World Cup.”
A player we know well in France is in this selection of Japan, in this case Hiroki Sakai, the
right side of the OM. The latter said he wants to pass the group stage and why
not dream of a beautiful course. It already goes through a good performance on
June 14 at 14h at the stadium Mordovia
Arena.
