I remember when I was a child I really loved that team, Honda & Kagawa & Okazaki & Hasebo & Kawashima& Yoshida & nagatomo all these players made me happy even though I’m not Japanese. Now I don’t know what happened or where they are but thank’s for all these memories that they brought🙏🏻. I will never forget

everyone talks about honda, and he is amazing, but endo's had an amazing career for his national team. he doesn't get spoken about enough.

[@Gloomsong]

Maybe because he played for Gamba Osaka on non-national level , whereas Honda played for various teams and was more known in other parts of the world. But you are right...they are on the same epic level, he deserves even more fame than now=)

[@samuelsihombing282]

Parched Pinemarten dont forget about nakamura sir

[@oliversykes9212]

Parched Pinemarte I'm a high school student in Japan I'm glad to could say so Endo is not a famous player in the world However, If endo was more younger, he would play in other countries. My English is not good sorry thank you guys!

[@jazzoj5]

Parched Pinemarten Endo was that dude!

[@takamiyauchi9954]

You are absolutely right. Endo holds the record for the most national appearances. And rightfully so. No matter what coach Japan had, Endo was there. He is a running machine, with great set pieces and passing ability. Honda was more well known outside of Japan because he played in Europe, but without a doubt Endo is one of the main reasons why Japan did so well in 2010, in addition to defenders Marcus Tulio Tanaka and Yuji Nakazawa. I actually wish those two were still playing for the national team :/

[@Kalijaa]

I love how Endo started celebrating immediately after he hit the ball. Japan has produced some of the best free kick specialists football has ever seen.

Japan is probably the best technical and at playing a team game. They have some of the best plays and ball passing I've ever seen. Always a pleasure to watch them play.

[@AApnah13]

lol

[@MrAlumrocky]

the only problem is that they cant defend

[@HoNiAn]

And they don't do goals. Technically they very good, they run a lot. Unfortunately they don't defend well and they fail a lot of goals. But Shunsuke wow, I genuinely think he was the freekicker all around the world.

[@agoogleuser3262]

Nowadays( 2017), Brazil is the best technical team.

[@yonathanbillychristian4492]

Alexander Collantes agree, they just need to improve a lot in defending and finishing, not just midfield.

[@saibot7218]

As a Dane I must say these free kicks were amazing.

[@fifa]

Were there better free kick goals scored at the 2010 FIFA World Cup than these two by Japan?

[@abdullahafzal5264]

no

[@abdullahafzal5264]

Alex Mendez Forlans was good, especially considering the circumstances, however the range and accuracy of Honda's free kick was simply unparalleled in 2010. Particularly in range as Forlans was in close proximity whereas Honda's was significantly further away. Therefore I remain adamant in my previous answer of "no."

Иван Драго I am from America, let's hope there will be peace between our two countries. War is horrible, we need sports like this to bring us together and not tear us apart. ✌

[@CrispsHateMyMom]

Zorn Gamer33 hi =) I'm pretty sure the whole war panic is overrated, though the situation is quite creepy indeed... I think the tension should go down this year... at least i hope so.. You're right that it's people who can actually prevent escalation. And events like World Cup should work on that purpose.

[@therealkillmongerdbd]

Иван Драго I hope the tension will ease as well. I have nothing against Russians, it's ALL of these damn politicians from BOTH sides that make things worse because they don't have to fight the wars they start. Anyway, which languages do you speak? I am eventually going to college to be an Interpreter. I was thinking Russian would be interesting to learn... My Mother used to take care of an old WW2 vet that was from Russia, he obviously spoke fluent Russian. Thought it was cool. Haha

[@CrispsHateMyMom]

Zorn Gamer33 Oh! cool =) I'm studying at college to be an interpreter and I'm learning Japanese and English =)) I also know a bit of French and I took a crashcourse of Latin lang as a freshman. wow, a veteran from Russia, how did he get to the USA?

[@therealkillmongerdbd]

Иван Драго Well, I'm sure your Japanese is great because you're awesome at English! :) I took French as my very first foreign language but I ended up not liking it because it was through a home school for awhile. Long story short, my aunt knew some French and helping me with it. And the veteran was actually a veteran of the US but came over when he was a kid.. About 12 years old. He still had a thick accent, well, from what I can remember. I was a kid myself when I met him. He would tell my Mom in broken English (jokingly) you know no Russian, you stupid and start speaking Russian. Haha he was like my third grandfather. Anyway, where in Russia are you? I'm in Michigan. :)
