I'm sorry but that's just not true, if you look at both japan and Australia's roster they have player for player they are stronger, why else would CQ use defensive tactics against these type of teams?
Japan vs Iran player for player:
Kawashima (one of the best keepers in Belgium for 2-3 years now) >>> Haghighi (recently established GK in Portugal and TM)
Yuto Nagatomo (fixed inter Milan wingback) Atuso Uchida (arguably schalke's best defender) >>> Montazeri, Beikzadeh, Heydari
Kieuske Honda (fixed AC Milan stud) >>>>> Dejagah, Jahanbakhsh, Hajsafi
Makoto Hasebe (former Wolfsburg fix midfielder) <<<< Nekounam, Teymourian
Shinji Okazaki (4th leading goal scorer in the bundesliga) >>>>> Reza
Shinji Kagawa (Dortmund stud) >>>>> Masoud
Maya Yoshida (south Hampton, starts sometimes or comes off the bench others) <<<< Azmoun
Gotoku Sakai (Stuttgart starter) >>>>> Sadeghi, Seyyed Jalal
......be reasonable please, can you legitimately argue this? Not to mention this japan team has equally as good as a coach as us and also a FAR better preparation!
Now here's a different question: do I think TM is capable of beating japan if we run into the,? Sure I do. But again, the question at hand is who has the better squad and it most definitely is not us, that's reality but whether or not you chose to accept it is your call my friend!m
