Sure of exiting the group stage, the Colombians can take a bit of a break before the Round of 16 kicks off. Will they try to ruin the advancement dreams of the Japanese anyway?More
GROUP C: Japan vs. Colombia
Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba will see a match between the Colombians, who have already guaranteed their advancement to the Round of 16 last Thursday, and the Japanese, who still need to not only win this match, but also count on the Ivory Coast’s loss to Greece to advance.
Japan
The Japanese team, starting in 1998 when they made their World Cup debut, have alternated finishing the tournament at the group phase and at the first kickoff round. Four years ago in South Africa they managed to get to the second stage of the tournament, so – if they are to maintain their pattern – this Tuesday will see the Blue Samurai booking their tickets home.
The squad led by the Italian coach Alberto Zaccheroni, who qualified for the 2014 World Cup as the first team in the world (not counting the hosts), lost 1-2 in their opening match to the Ivory Coast, and managed a goalless tie versus Greece in game two. Despite having one point, they are still dissatisfied with their performance – in their match against the Greeks they had the ball 68% of the time and took 16 shots, of which 11 reached the goal, yet none went in.
The Japanese midfielder Keisuke Honda assures that his team will play against Colombia as if it was the final, not group phase. However, even their win might prove to not be enough to get to the second place in their group and advance.
Colombia
The South American squad, at the World Cup for the first time since 1998, has already repeated their biggest success thus far – entering the Round of 16 in 1990. This has only motivated Los Cafeteros more, and they are aiming for a much better result than their current record.
Coached by Jose Pekerman, they beat Greece at 3-0 and the Ivory Coast at 2-1, putting them in the lead of group C with a firm advantage over the next teams. However, they might let themselves take a bit of a break in the last match before the Round of 16, letting the Japanese have a bit higher chance of success.
What’s interesting, after winning versus the Cote d’Ivoire, Colombia practically became… FIFA ranking leader, with 1376 points on their tally. At the moment, they are ahead of the Germans in second place and Argentina in third. In the most recent official version of the ranking from early June it was the Spanish, World and European defending champions, who were in the lead, but since then they have dropped out of the tournament – and dropped down in standings.
Summary
Japan and Colombia have not played a head to head game until 2003. Since then, the squads have faced off twice. Most recently, in 2007. In one of the two games, theColombians won 1-0 and the other saw a goalless draw. Does this mean that, with Los Cafeteros more relaxed, the Japanese will have a chance for a win?
