Japanese soccer fans, who were scoreless and winless in two consecutive away games in the U.S., expressed various thoughts on the news of Hong Myung-bo's draw against Mexico.
Japanese media, including Soccer King, reported that the friendly match between Korea and Mexico in Nashville, Tennessee, ended in a 2-2 draw on the 10th (Korea time). With the atmosphere sagging due to the 0-2 defeat by the U.S., coach Hajime Moriyasu's selection of players and analysis of individual performances, he seems to be paying attention to South Korea's performance that met the same opponent and scored two goals.
Japanese netizens expressed various thoughts through the Yahoo Sports comment section. One netizen responded to the news of South Korea's draw against Mexico, saying, `This is the difference in consciousness of shooting. Unlike Japan, which is looking for a player who can accept the ball even if he catches it in the box, players who are participating in the World Cup finals shoot even if they are forced to do so, he evaluated South Korea and Mexico. Another netizen said 'The existence of world class stars and the existence of decisive power is the difference between Korea and Japan. Japan has many good players at the Asian level in terms of quality and quantity, but in this regard, it is true that Korea has a strong point.' 'It was an opportunity to measure the difference in skills between Korea and Japan. Through this friendly match, each other's positions were clearly revealed. There was also an opinion that Korea is strong. In addition, Korea, which won one match and drew one match against the U.S. and Mexico, gained a lot in many ways. Son Heung-min, who was a little sluggish in the last tournament, may be different this timeThe opinion that ' followed suit.

Japan, ranked No. 1 in Asia (17th) in the FIFA rankings, seems to be quite embarrassed by the outcome of the U.S. away game. It was scoreless against the U.S. (13th) and Mexico (15th), who sought consecutive wins beyond worthy opponents. The result is also the result, but the arrow of criticism is focused on the fact that it did not show any further progress in terms of content. Tsuneyasu Miyamoto, president of the Japan Football Association who watched the match against the U.S., said in a Soccer Digest, "Compared to the match against Mexico, it was a step further away from taking away the opponent's ball. There were many scenes where I had to get down. I think we should reflect on thatFujita Joel Chima (Jankt Pauli), who played against the U.S., said, `I wanted to leave something behind in a chance situation, but I couldn't. "I'm angry..." he didn't hide his regret.
Japan seemed not to care much about the comparison with South Korea after the schedule of the friendly match was announced. He beat Spain and Germany in succession at the Qatar World Cup, and his confidence in ranking first in Asia in the FIFA rankings was great as he recently succeeded in advancing to the round of 16 for the second consecutive World Cup. However, he seems to be paying attention to South Korea, which has achieved the opposite result after a disappointing U.S. expedition.
