The first game is an exciting conflict of styles, as the houseowner Brazil under take the Asian champions Japan at Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha in Brazil.
The amazing sight of that game sees the householder nations of the World Cup in Brazil match-up to the first nation to formally qualify for the tourney in Japan, having gained the point they required in a draw(1-1) to Australia. That is an significant game for Brazil in many ways than one, not only is it a tourney that will test the substructure of tourney promoters but is also the first actual opportunity for Luiz Felipe Scolari(coach), and his team for playing in a "significant" game outside the slew of display games. The charming zone of the game to observe is the productivity in midfield among Brazilian Hernanes, Lucas Moura, Oscar, Jadson and Bernard going foot-to-foot with Japan Shinji Kagawa, Keisuke Honda, Yasuhito Endō, Takashi Inui and Hiroshi Kiyotake. This 2 players that rush on either hand are Japan Shinji Kagawa and Brazilian Lucas Moura, the productivity of these 2 players united with the skill to goals makes them table setters in attack.
The truth is the first game of the tourney there can be a long sense out session, whereas the true that they are in better match shape, have a midfield skill of controlling the ball and are skill of stretching contrast makes me give the benefit to Japan. The 1 zone they fight with is completing chances in the face of goals, something that will need development starting to a enough Brazilian defensive factor.
