Japan played well against Denmark today but I still think it's Paraguay's game to lose. :rock:

Man, who would have though I would be picking Japan to win an elimination game when the tournament started. But Japan has excellent set play skills.

Really don't want Japan to advance further than South Korea, and I don't think they will. I'd be surprised if they put up as good of a fight either.

2-1 Japan, IMO. Honda and Endo will have their fun again.

I'm going with Paraguay, I like their defense and...I haven't seen Japan play at this WC.

Penalty shootout is needed in this one.

Half hour of extra time, each team has a sub.

I love the Japanese crest. Awesome stuff. Looks destined for penalties, this one.

Endo out for the Final 8 if Japan advances. 115th, both teams seem ready for penalty kicks.
