Japan National Team: Friendly Match (Korea) An injury-time goal by substitute striker Yuichiro Nagai gave Zico his first win since taking over as national team coach, and rewarded a fine display of hard work and coordinatiuon at midfield that, up to the final minute of the match, had been squandered by very poor finishing work by the forwards. Korea dominated possession, but all they could do was move the ball around purposelessly on the perimeter, or launch 30-meter shots that Narahashi collected with ease. Though Korea continued to create the majority of pressure, urged on as they were by their home crowd, Japn's counters suddenly became sharper and more effective at collapsing the Korean defence. www.wldcup.com /Asia/nats/2003/korea.html   (314 words)

Under Cramer's guidance, the team made it to the quarterfinals in the Tokyo Olympics, and achieved a feat that still ranks high in the memories of Japanese football fans in 1968, winning the bronze medal at the Mexico Olympic Games. www.wldcup.com /Asia/nats/pre80.html   (314 words)

Korean Football at the crossroads: a view from inside Nevertheless, this bitter defeat brought to Olympic team, and the Korean football in general, one positive change: the KFA finally acceded to Bychovets’s request to invite from overseas a full-time coach for goalkeepers.
