Yes.
(Iran changed time in Mehr mah. USA will change in November.)

The only people getting experience during this match will be Ezatollahi, Ghafouri and Rezaian. the rest are fixed players.

More Japan practice in Shahid Dastgerdi stadium

It's funny because it seems like Vahid Halilhodzic speaks in broken French to get it translated to the players. Maybe the influence of coaching in Algeria

[zzgloo]

The truth is,...Japan,plays " short passing " ! " semi- total football " style....in Asia...they are the best in it in Asia.
The question is, if the CQ style, can Handle it ?....or,TM,has to follow Japan style as well for the future .?
..
TM, must focus on beating the best teams in Asia....TM must be able to take care of Japan . Eventualy.

...so what time is the game being broadcast in LA?? 6:30AM? Im confused.

[persianfire]

Japan looks to be fielding their experimental team.

Soccer Digest previews this line-up:
Nishikawa; Shiotani, Yoshida, Makino, Nagatomo; Hasebe, Yamaguchi; Honda, Kagawa, Kiyotake; Okazaki.

I think it's almost their A team.
