May 23rd sees Japan take on Azerbaijan at Ecopa Stadium, Shizuoka. An opposition – a lowly FIFA ranked team – that Japan coach Zaccheroni actively requested, to allow his team to gain experience of playing against a similarly-ranked team to Oman and Jordan, who Japan play in World Cup Qualifying in June, along with Australia.
May 28th Japan take on Colombia in Tokyo, before concentrating on their two qualifiers in Saitama – June 3rd v. Oman and June 8th v. Jordan, before a trip to Brisbane to face Australia in further qualifying for WC 2014.

It will be interesting to see who Zac selects – who do YOU think will be in? Has Miyaichi done enough? Is Honda match fit? Will Kagawa’s mind be on a Premier League move? Is Genki Haraguchi back!? Has Hisato Sato done enough to get another chance for Japan? Will Tulio EVER play for Japan again? Will Kiyotake be selected or allowed to concentrate on London2012 (and Nuremburg plans!)? Will any of the S-Pulse youngsters get the call?
