Japan has participated in three world cups, i.e 1998, 2002 and 2006. For a long time, Japanese football struggled to break through, despite an Olympic bronze medal.
Japan is playing in Group E along with Netherlands, Denmark and Cameroon. It is believed that the team has Asia's most formidable midfield line-up with Hidetoshi Nakata, Shunsuke Nakamura and Shinji Ono.
