Japanese J1 League News
There's nothing like a World Cup to put young stars in the shop window! With that in mind, ESPN has assembled a list of all the Socceroos' post-tournament transfers, all in one place.
Japan wingback Yukinari Sugawara has reiterated that his team are at the World Cup not just to participate, but to win it.
Socceroos bolter Tete Yengi says his journey to the national team has not been straightforward, but he believes these adventures have played a key role in his pursuit of becoming the "ultimate player" and, more importantly, a World Cup representative.
Even with a couple of key players out through injury, Japan could still be the most exciting team at the 2026 World Cup.
Tolgay Arslan has announced his retirement -- perhaps ending it all after a final sense of fulfilment at Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
