Japan 1-0 Ecuador Match Review
My schedule went off track this weekend, so sorry for the delay in this write-up of the game played last Thursday... J league Round 6 post will be coming up in the next few days.

The Continuing Saga...

So picking up where we left off last time... after the Bosnia game, we were left a bit deflated. Though the circumstances surrounding that game were less than ideal, there were a few big problems that reared to the forefront -- a) how to handle strong defensive pressure from the opponent b) how to handle physicality from the opponent c) is the 4-back defense line too fragile to depend on (incl. issue of Santos weakness displayed against Bosnia)?

This game against Ecuador was supposed to help Japan address a few issues. 1) Finally record a win against a South American opponent 2) Restabilize the defense line after Bosnia 3) See how Tamada looks (incl creating scoring opportunities) 4) Total defensive pressure
