About Japan at the 2026 World Cup
Japan shocked Spain and Germany at the 2022 World Cup before losing on penalties to Croatia in the last 16. Their entire squad now plays in Europe's top leagues, giving them a physicality and technical quality that previous generations lacked. The Samurai Blue genuinely threaten a quarter-final in 2026.
