Command Analysis

China

Dragon's team already proved their mental toughness during the current qualifying tournament and deserved a spot in the third round. Team approached the start of the new stage in a good form, but still lost the first match in Group B.

China failed to avoid defeat in the match against Australia, Socceroos dominated the game at Doha (0:3). Chinese team couldn't put up a fight, they didn't hit a single shot on target, in fact, they could've concede even more goals. Overall, it was a fair result.

Japan

Samurai are one of the main favourites of Group B. Team wants to qualify for the World Cup, but in the first match of the third round Hajime Moriyasu's men were beaten.

Japan national team was an overwhelming favourite of a home game against Oman, but something went wrong for the Blues. Hosts had an advantage on ball possession, but visitors played well on counter-attacks and in one of them Issam Al-Sabhi scored (0:1). Of course, Maya Yoshida will try to redeem themselves after such a disappointing defeat and a match against China is a great opportunity.
