This is perhaps a weird thing to say but you really have to admire what the Japanese football authorities have done since 1996, in terms of developing the game and improving / promoting homegrown players and without spending that much money on aging foreigners. The contrast with the Chinese, some of the Middle Eastern states and even the US is massive.

They must be one of the few honest and competent FAs in the world.
 
I've mostly defended Bawb in this tourney but as far as Witsel goes, I got nothin.
