Alberto7 Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Japan 3 New Zealand 0 Japan seems to do very well in these competitions (anyone remember the 3-0 win over Canada at the 2001 CC?)

beachesl Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 But Japan have been doing lousy this year. More hard evidence as to why giving Oceania an automatic WWC berth was such a horrible mistake.

Gian-Luca Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Question is, did Japan get every single call go their way, including two horrible & wrong calls which led directly to goals, as they did against Canada in 2001? Probably not on this occasion, as they didn't have homefield advantage - from the sounds of it they deserved this particular 3-0 Confederations Cup victory. Even the wolf can learn. Even the sheep can turn. Even the frog can become at last the prince. - Peter Hammill, Over (1977) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew W Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 This is a New Zealand side that won the Oceania title against an Aussie C side due to a player revolt that saw none of the Euro Aussies in the lineup. The last Confed Cup saw Aus to the semifinals if not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
