Japan Beat Greece...1 : 0

Maybe some of you already know the result. But I feel that this is still worth celebrating for Asia soccer. Japan beat the Euro Champion in one of the match in Cofederation Cup!!!

Maybe some of you might say that it was all because some of the key players of Greece Team were injured at that Match, but in soccer the most important thing is to score. So now the fact is Japan scored a goal and win the match.

I had never been a great fan of Japan Soccer Team, but from the way they played (I personally watched that game), they played better and had more scoring chance than Greece. Japan were denied a second goal when substitute Koji Nakata's shot was headed off the goalline by Dmitris Papadopoulos in the dying seconds of the match.

Greece rarely make attack, the only time the Greeks troubled the Japanese defence in the first half was when high balls were aimed towards Charisteas. In the second half, Greece had few scoring opportunities but the best came when Angelos Charisteas twisted and turned but shot straight at Japanese keeper Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi in the 83rd minute.

The only hope that Greece now have is to save some price when they face Mexico on the 22nd June. Wherelse for Japan, they have a chance to qualify for the semi-finals, provide they beat or win against Brazil in their next match.

Tonight, the main focus will be on Germany vs Argentina, I will provide some preview, provided I got some time later....
