Japan

Updates!

Sorry for the lull, finals were once again in the way. Here are some updates to make up for it.

Japan has qualified for the London Olympics. The U-23’s defeated Bahrain 2-0 to book their tickets to the summer tournament. Second-half goals from Takahiro Ogihara and Hiroshi Kiyotake sealed the win.

The senior side has been put in Group B for the fourth round of World Cup Qualification. Japan will play Australia, Iraq, Jordan, and Oman over the course of the next year. Australia will probably be the toughest opponents, but Iraq is coached by Zico who knows Japanese football very well.

Finally, here’s a video of Mike Havenaar’s time so far at Vitesse Arnhem. Mike has been scoring regularly since joining the team during the January transfer window–this video has all the goals and some training session footage. Enjoy!
