World Championship.
The Japanese meet the Croatians. We are moving with Croatia Peru.
The Japanese are now excited because they finished first in the Spanish and German group. But are they that good? Yes, they defeated the Germans in the first meeting, everything is fair, but then they lost to Costa Rica, which both the Spaniards and the Germans punish mercilessly. And in the last round, they won against the Spaniards, who do not play football. Just push the ball and that's it. The Spaniards controlled the ball 82% of the time and didn't really allow the Japanese to breathe and still got 2-1? I don't know, I find it hard to believe. In any case, this is an interesting team.
Croats look much more solid to me. They drew 0 against Morocco and the Belgians, and Canada got trampled 4-1. I don't expect a one-sided game here, but the experience of the Croatians makes me lean towards them. Croatian defense is very solid, and there is plenty to attack.
I expect a non-productive match and 0-1 Peru against Croatia (0-2 if the Japanese try to press at the end and get a goal from a counterattack).
Good luck.
