A lot of people have already given up on the Blue Samurai. With four straight losses and only one goal in that stretch, it’s understandable that the pundits have written Japan off. Japan is ranked lowest among the four group E teams and is playing some of its worst football in recent memory. Heck, even coach Okada jokingly offered to resign just a few weeks ago. But there is still hope for Japan’s supporters yet. This is the World Cup and if the opening day results proved anything, it is that once the whistle blows and the games actually mean something, FIFA rankings fly out the door and anything is possible. As we’ve been reminded time and time again by ESPN, “One game changes EVERYTHING.” For Japan a victory against Cameroon will do just that.
