Pre-game: Paraguay vs Japan (29 Jun 2010)
Match Details
Paraguay-Japan, Semi-Finals, Loftus Versfeld Stadium, Wednesday 29 June, 16.00 (local time)
Why Japan would win?
Japan is strong defender who takes their time setting up stone wall defenses while their opponents setup up play. When the right opportunity comes, Japan counterattacks quickly where their star player Honda weaves his magic to score a goal.
Japan can be patient all throughout the game and wait for the right breakaway run.
Why Paraguay would win?
Like Japan, Paraguay is a very strong defensive team anchored on their 4-3-3 formation. This team also has the experience led by Justo Villar, Denis Caniza, Roque Santa Cruz and Julio Cesar Caceres where each one of them has 5 or more appearances in FIFA World Cup Finals.
Key Takeaway
Whoever wins the game will make history as their first appearance in the quarter finals. However, this game isn’t as exciting as other matchups and whoever wins would lose in the next round.
