Another disappointing campaign… the experience from the last World Cup was not acted on. La Selecta could do much better.

Quotes

"We're happy to have qualified. We aim was to reach the final, but our first objective was to reach the last eight of course. We’d like to play a strong team there so we can show what we’re made of. I think the improvement we’ve shown is down to the change in coach. All the players believe in him and we are a very motivated side." -Teruki Tabata, Japan player
