FIFA World Cup 2022 Group E ** spoilers ** (Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan)

Such an interesting match tactically in that 2nd half. A masterclass by that Japanese manager. Brilliant
 
I've not seen how they've played in qualis or warm ups. Do they actually use midfielders, or do they just bang all of their wingers into the team?
They normally sit two CM’s quite deep (often Casemiro and Fred), then a 3 and striker. They sonetimes switch to 4-3-3 against the stronger teams.
 
Well that was disappointing. Totally dominated possession for most of the match, made little of it, then a fragile defence crumbled on the counter-attack. Well played, Japan, and well deserved. Can't see the match against Spain going particularly well either.
