3rd placed team in group A can reach only 4 pts. So 6 pts is almost a secured "at-least-top-3rd" spot in group B. If Japan wins against Mexico they are 3rd (goaldiff is no problem). But I'm not sure if 3 pts are enough to be among 4 best 3rd placed ones... Bad luck for Japan. That is a tough group with very good teams. :-)

come on japan. you guys are a quality side who can obviously score goals at will. just need to work on stopping them now. if they beat mexico they still have a chance to advance as a third place team or even a second.

"There was only one team on the park in the first 30 minutes and that was Japan. They played a great game and could even have been 3-0 ahead. It was very important for us to get a goal back before the break. That, and the corrections we made at half-time, helped us play a more aggressive game in the second half and to then go on and win the game. We showed that Switzerland can play really good football too." Dany Ryser, Switzerland coach
