After defeating South Korea 5-0...Ancelotti replaces eight players changing the entire defence and the goalkeeper Bento only retaining Casemiro, Guimaraes and Vinicius Junior.

Result....Brazil clinically were leading 2-0 at halftime with goals by Henrique and Martinelli. Then a blackout in the second half...a slip in footing by a Brazilian defender sent the ball straight to a Japanese attacker who promptly put the ball in the Brazilian net.2-1 Next an attempt to clear a cross cause another Brazilian defender to hit the ball in his own net 2-2...then a nervous fumble by the goalkeeper under pressure caused the ball to spill back in the net....2-3...and a first ever Japanese victory.

Ancelottii experimenting but sometimes I feel he experimenting too much.

two very bad defensive errors fortunately they are not the first choice options in this team the defence struggled with the quickness of the japanese players

@velo

Brazil at full strength much stronger than the pundits think....these two teams South Korea and Japan will cause nuff trouble in the WC. South Korea bounced back from a 0-5 smashing from Brazil to beat Paraguay 2-0
