Team Feature: Japan | The 2026 World Cup Dark Horses?

The Samurai Blue went undefeated in Group F. Head coach Hajime Moriyasu and his players reflect on the journey so far, which included a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands, a decisive 4-0 victory over Tunisia, and a 1-1 draw with Sweden. Having secured a 3-2 friendly win over Brazil late last year, Japan enters this knockout match in Houston as one of the dark horses of this tournament. #FIFAWorldCUpOnYT #brazil #japan
