I disagree, Rin. They have 3-4 players, who play as starters in one of Euope's major leagues (Kagawa, Honda, Nagatomo) the rest play as reserves in the big leagues or in their native league.

Yoshida, Kawashima and Uchida play in Europe as well I believe.

It's a public secret that the Spain squad was doped during the last 3 tournaments. They don't seem to be now. In the WC 2014 they all sprinted for 90 minutes with 2-3 players constantly pressuring the oppositions player on the ball.
Even though Spain has had a horrible offense during these years, this dope-fueled high pressure tactic meant they hardly conceded any goals and got their trophys this way.
Er, no. If anything, it's a public secret that that World Cup was fixed.

Pretty sure Switzerlands goal is correct. There is a new situation after the overjump as he is activly giving the ball to another player. If he is touching the ball or not is irrelevant.

No, Several of them are high profile players in the Bundesliga which is the most popular destination for Japanese players in football outside of Japan and the GK plays for Anderlecht I believe in Belgium and I believe he is the starter there.
There are only about 4 or 5 players in Japans starting 11 from Japan and all of them are quite good in their own right, plus the J - League is actually a pretty good quality.
The problem for Japan is that they have weak Center backs, a crazy goalie and no real threat at striker, since Okazaki is played out of position. Kakitani is young, Osako is neither very fast, nor very tall and the same can be said for pretty much all of Japans strikers atm.
Japan also failed to use their pace yesterday and their strong midfield never seemed to hold possession long enough.

I put a bet on France winning by two goals or more, but now I'm regretting it.
I've analyzed every minor detail, but forgot the biggest thing that goes against a french win; the fact that they're french.
My prediction; two abdications, three revolutions and eight beheadings. And then the 2nd half starts.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

that's why I bet 0-2 for Honduras
penalty and a red card for palacios. can France overcome the problem that they are French?

I can barely watch this France - Honduras game. Just brutal stuff from the Hondurans. Someone is going to end up injured.

As far as I know, one of them is in the starting Xi, the rest are benchwarmers

France played well on the first half, but Honduras players are just horrible. I hope they can do other things that injure our players, it wouldn't be nice to have Pogba or Benzema out for the rest of the competition. French players are serious, and that's something that we didn't see since 2007 !

Yellow card for the two players kept the game fair play i think. At least on the french side.
