The 2026 World Cup should be a proving ground for the Japanese national team, which performed so horribly throughout the qualifying rounds. Sweeping away wins, becoming the most productive team in Asia, and even crushing strong countries such as England and Brazil in test matches, Hajime Moriyasu’s men are predicted to go very far. However, the universe seemed to have other plans. Just before this grand tournament begins, the Blue Samurai’s strength is completely “suppressed” by bad luck! Starting from the storm of injuries that hit their three pillar players in Europe (Kaoru Mitoma, Takumi Minamino, Hidemasa Morita), to the surprising decision of the captain, Wataru Endo, who chose to resign and retire from the national team due to a serious ligament injury. Their test became more complete after Japan was confirmed to be trapped in Group F with the Netherlands, Sweden and Tunisia. Will this test storm make Japan fall early? Or will their steely mentality produce another big surprise like in the 2022 World Cup? Check out the complete review in this video! #WorldCup2026 #JapanNationalTeam #SamuraiBlue #WataruEndo #KaoruMitoma #Football #StartingElevenMomen
