I doubt if the addition of individually-talented players would have made much difference to the outcome. Would they have been able to overcome the tightly-knitted J teamwork?
I don't doubt it at all. "addition of individually talented players"!!
10 players were missing. Thats the whole team minus the keeper! It would have made a huge difference. Its a shame really, would have been good for Japan to have a more challenging game with Asian Cup coming up soon; would have been a good gauge of where the team is at right now. That said, I liked the way Japan played and look forward to their next game.

RMs, yes, I suppose you are right. Those who did play were also top notch young talent from good clubs, and the match could well have gone either way.

At the end of the day - it's only Scotland they beat!
