MATCH THREAD - Japan 0 vs Greece 0 - Group C - 11PM KO (UK Time) - Thursday 19th June

Vs

Japan striker Yoshito Okubo impressed as a substitute against Ivory Coast and could replace Yuya Osako up front.

Coach Alberto Zaccheroni must also decide whether to recall playmaker Yasuhito Endo, who played the final 36 minutes of their opening game.

Greece could make a change at left-back, with Georgios Tzavelas the obvious alternative to Jose Holebas, who had a poor game against Colombia.

Kostas Mitroglou and Ioannis Fetfatzidis may also earn recalls.

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Watched some Japanese porn the other day.

Based on that this will be a hard game. Possibly with vomit and pixilated genitalia.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

I admire Ijjy's dedication.
