Okada's Japan in serious trouble

0
Takeshi Okada resembles a man stuck in quicksand without a rope.

On the surface there appears little reason for panic after Japan came from behind to snatch a 1-1 draw with Uzbekistan in front of 55,142 fans at Saitama Stadium on October 15. Yet the manner of the draw and Okada's increasingly dejected demeanour suggest that the Japan coach is working on borrowed time. Click to continue reading...

Which Adelaide Football Club is known in Japan and Asia?

This was one of the options put forward this summer in addition to the 7-man bench, which is up from its previous five this season. Click to continue reading...

Holland 1 v Socceroos 2: Meanwhile in the results that do matter...

1
The Eurpoean Socceroos looked good in nice cool conditions. They were a goal down early but still in the game. As we know the Dutch are a million miles away from their 1970s total domination, Total Football days, now they play the long balls to the speedy wingers just like the Roar...

The Socceroos were probably lucky to win the penalty, but it highlights how protected Mark Bosnich is given (see last weeks Roar v CCM) their goalie was given a red in a friendly - and Kennedy had already missed the ball. Click to continue reading...

Is Takeshi Okada the man for the job?

Takeshi Okada is a man under pressure. A poor showing in a recent friendly defeat to Uruguay and some unconvincing performances in the first round of World Cup qualifying has left many wondering whether the former international is the right man to guide Japan to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Okada took over as Japan coach after Bosnian Ivica Osim suffered a tenure-ending stroke in November 2007. Click to continue reading...
