Kreza, What I meant by all the players playing in the J-league is like an advantage to Japan because players can easily be rallyed to camp. Players can easily be assembled for the numerous friendly matches they hosted. I don't think the players you mentioned left behind by sorimachi are…

Whoops, damn computer! Ha ha. Anyways, it doesn't matter. Good on the US, but I think this age bracket for Japan is just one of those rebuilding groups. They've got some talent, but Sorimachi has left a lot of deserving players out of this squad. I truly think that their…

Another friendly match at home too bad the olympics is not taking place here in Japan. Since Sorimach took over the olympic they have played close to 30 matches no other team in the world has even half the number of matches Japan has played. Anything less than a semi…

Republic of Texas, Japan are ranked 8th in the world because since Athens Olympic they have not play any meaningful away from home, The world championship, the world cup, qualifiers, and every FIVB official match were hosted by Japan.

Geez, when will Japan play out of Japan for a change ? The FIVB is the most pathetic organisation on this planet. Apart from the world league matches and the olympics every major tourney has been held in Japan over the last 2o years. Well, Japan should keep on deceiving…

timorborder, Japan had not qualified when Okada took over back in 1998, remember Japan beat Iran in singapore in a play off to qualify for France 98. And for your info Okada took over from another japanese Shu Kamo and not a foreigner.

Sorimachi's Japan is the most prepared U-23 team in the world. They have played more than 30 games since the team was put together and yet could not beat an ill prepared Cameroon team lacking 4 regulars and that has not played up to 8 matches since its inception. Anything…
