Episode 443 - Japan 0-1 Costa Rica

What's your favourite adjective for this Japan 'performance'? Whichever way you slice it, they blew a golden opportunity here, failing to build on the win over Germany.

Episode 442 - Japan 2-1 Germany

This episode was recorded right after the full time whistle of the greatest result in the history of the Japan Men's National Team, Japan 2-1 Germany. Enjoy! Asanooooooooo!!!
