Yes Suntory’s Hibiki whisky is still highly sought after.
Love me some Suntory

They didnt cause they struggled in the initial games against West Asian opponents missing some European based players.No they aren’t. They didn’t finish top of their WC Qualifying group either.
Even if we ignore 2002, Moscow is closer to Tokyo than Doha.I thought that too but @Rood was kind enough to correct my misconception and informed me that this indeed is the most accessible tournament for them. Even more so than the one they hosted, so now I can pass forward that wisdom.
Look at this...
It's a one-off loss in the final. Japan are by far the best team in Asia
What do you mean?You realise that it's actually a thing? And transfermarkt valuations are half of the time laughable.
That was a truly wtf moment
Japan and KSA are clearly far superior opposition to the drivel England and France faced.
That’s not exactly what he said. Stupid post.I thought that too but @Rood was kind enough to correct my misconception and informed me that this indeed is the most accessible tournament for them. Even more so than the one they hosted, so now I can pass forward that wisdom.

KSA are absolute shite, but played amazingly. Ranked 53rd regularly playing the same teams as Iran (who beat Uruguay not long ago) who are ranked 20th. Literally biggest world shock of all time.
Japan are decent though.
It’s incredible they can produce some of the best midfielders in the world on a constant basis but can’t get a striker to finish off all the good work!When is the last time Spain actually had a top striker? David Villa?
I actually fancy them against that Spanish line-up. I have no idea why Germany went into their shell in the 2nd half.I think that might be it for Germany. Struggling to see them beating Spain in the next game

Diego Costa was a good option for a while.
Morata is still about.When is the last time Spain actually had a top striker? David Villa?
(I wouldn't really count Costa)
What do you mean?
Every bookmaker you find will have those top 9 teams as the top 9 favorites. The valuations are not perfect but they're an indicator (more so about the expectations and chances then a predictor of the actual performance but that's what we're talking about).
I said striker not bottler.Morata is still about.
Upset loss to Oman at home in the first game missing Osano and the likes. They didn't start well but beat everyone when mattered. Head to Head results against Saudis and Australia they were a step aboveIs that why KSA finished above them in their qualifying group?
Look at this...
He chose to play for Spain though and did well for them for a while.Even Costa was/is Brazilian I think.
How this Japan side got beaten by Qatar in Asian Cup 2019 was beyond me, especially after nearly knocking out Belgium in the WC. Qatar beat S Korea in that tournament too, which made me suspect they're not as bad as that opening match indicated (nerves?)
Doesn't he do this a lot?
Definitely seen him do this before several times.

They aren't. They wiped the floor with Japan as well, it wasn't even close.How this Japan side got beaten by Qatar in Asian Cup 2019 was beyond me, especially after nearly knocking out Belgium in the WC.
