Exactly. They don't have any serious competition in their continent.
A continent that played at the semi finals before Africa is the same continent you're looking down on.
Why is Nigeria sitting 5th in her table while playing against Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Rwanda.

Are you for real?

Go and re-watch the officiating that took Korea to the semi finals in Korea-Japan 2002. Especially the officiating in their match against Italy.

As for Africa, we have a very weak league that nobody outside Africa struggles to play in or watches. At least we've seen top European players go to Asia (China) to retire. How many come to Africa?

We're not yet serious.

I don't think there's any real footballing nation in that group
Do you think if the pair Nigeria group to this group that the teams in Nigeria group would survive it?
You're f**king playing Rwanda, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and co yet you're in 5th position, you're not ashamed you rubbish the hard fought success of another team.
Trust me those teams in Japan's group are not pushing over.

How won't they qualify when they're playing against teams like Bahrain.
Australia has played at the round 16 of the world cup and were eliminated by the eventual winner (Italy), they might have achieved more than this (I don't know much about them but I watched them play the world cup in the 2006 and they were a great team, Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina at the last world cup who happened to be the eventual winner (they're the only team to defeat Argentina).

Is there any "real footballing nation" in the group where your country currently sits 5th with only 3 points after 4 games?

With two second half goals against Bahrain, from Daichi Kamada of Crystal Palace FC and star man Take Kubo of Real Sociedad, the samurai blue as they are fondly called successfully secured their participation in the forth coming FIFA World Cup Competition.

They currently sit top of Group C in the last phase of qualifiers in the Asian Continent with a total of 19points from six wins and a draw. Their closest rivals Australia are at 10 points.

Hajime Moriyasu will be competing in their eight consecutive world cup tournament.

Congratulations to Japan

The country of self discipline and continuous improvements

The country of Naruto, Bleach and death notes

One of the living evidences that you can be technologically advanced, developed without losing your self identity unlike west Africans ( western wannabe yet no sabi anything)

Well said! Very Conservative and disciplined people. I met a Japanese reseach student at the University of St. Andrews when I was in UK. He practically taught me time management and organisational skills. They are the masters of Kaizen principles.

That’s why they are progressing
The culture of self disciplined and honor has been ed down thousands of years from their ancestors.. from days of samurai

They never lost their identity
