The connection between Japan’s largely Europe-based squad and their fans is back after the victory against Germany and can be strengthened further with a second win over Costa Rica
“Wednesday’s result couldn’t have happened without the influence German football has had on the Japanese game,” says Orlowitz, while Moriyasu believes that the physicality of the European game has played an important role in “contributing to the development of Japanese players.”
“It’s a well-liked team among Japanese soccer fans, but among the general public there isn’t nearly as much buzz surrounding the squad as there has been at past World Cups,” according to Orlowitz.
