The Japanese team stunned the entire soccer world when in eight minutes they came from behind and won a dramatic 1:2 over the German team, but they also know that a victory over Costa Rica, the team that suffered a humiliating 7:0 defeat from Spain, may be enough for them to secure a ticket to the round of 16 even before a round The end - if Germany doesn't beat Spain tonight.
Japan made five substitutions compared to the lineup that started against Germany, but they did not prove themselves.
The first half was simply terrible, devoid of opportunities, at a slow pace and with a lot of turnovers.
If Costa Rica could be forgiven for such a performance after the defeat to Spain, the expectation from Japan was much higher.
