Soccer World Cup Play: Colombia vs. Japan
This is going to be a fun game to watch with both teams moving forward with the ball…
Colombia has already clinched the qualification after winning the first two games vs. Greece and Ivory Coast. It is certain that their NT coach will make some changes for today in order to rest some players and/or prevent some of them to receive a potential 2nd yellow card in the competition and be suspended for the next game.
The good news for them is that their “backups” players are extremely talented especially on the front w/ Quintero, Jackson Martinez and Ramos and so, there won’t be a major drop off of quality between the usual starters and their 2nd line of players.
On the other end, I expect Japan to be (as usual) proactive w/ a good offensive mindset. They are coming from a 0-0 draw vs. Greece in which they had tremendous problems to create chances to score against a packed Greek defensive line.
I had a play w/ Under that was an easy winner:
“There is nothing new about the Greeks – they will defend, they will concede ball possession to their opponents and try to score some goals in counter moves and especially in set pieces. This formula makes them painful to watch, but they are really competitive in that way.
They suffered an early goal to Colombia and that ruined the Greeks traditional game plan… For today, I expect them to be once again conservative, give the ball possession to Japan and try to explore their size edge in set pieces.
Unlike Colombia, Japan doesn’t have the proper width on the wings to create mismatches on the Greeks’ defense and so, I expect Japan to have some problems in creating build-up plays.”
Once Katsouranis was sent off @38th minute, the Greek side basically decided to defend all game w/ 10 men and the Japanese side didn’t find any space on the front.
This will change in here against the free-floating Colombian team = OVER PLAY!
