It was always the existence of the drinking fountains. Asano Asano was the only one of four forwards who did not play in the match against Ghana yesterday.

It will be very good. I called them because they had hopes to enter the final list, but for now, in their own position, it is not the first choice. I believe that in the future they will still have the opportunity to wear the Japanese national team. The shirt."
When talking about the goals of the Japan national team in the World Cup, Nishino did not explicitly say that he must qualify.

A game to get points one by one, hoping to qualify for the team." However, Nishino Long also expressed the hope that after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, once again reached the top 16.
