Marking for the 2nd goal in particular was pretty poor, they had no clue The player was even there.
Japan are a much better ranked team so 2-0 doesn't seem too bad, but we really need to be able to create something going forward because we offered nothing in the final third all match. For the most part the defence was good we just need to find ways to deliver that for the full 90
The 2nd match should be the real litmus test, having just had 90 minutes of up close experience against them. I want to see us find some solutions up front that actually means we test their defence a few times
