In Group A, the host country of Japan win both games against Mexico and South Africa and are just one step from next round.

Japan's back defenders Yuta Nakayama, Ko Itakura, Maya Yoshida and Hiroki Sakai are building a strong and very solid team.

Against Mexico they conceded a goal after being in advantage of 2-0 and it can be acceptable.

Coach Moriyasu played in both games with almost the same lineups, making only 1 change against Mexico.

Probably today we could see some changes especially in midfield and attack where some players have phsyical problems.

This is the 3rd game in 6 days for all the teams and fatigue started to feel.

To lose the 1st place Japan need to lose with 4 goals difference from France so it's almost impossible in current conditions.

France in other hand lost the 1st game against Mexico 3-0 but managed to win against South Africa 4-3 thanks to the experience and quality of best striket Gignac who scored 3 goals.

As I wrote in last pick, France is without best players but still have some qualities. They didn't played for a long time together so needed some time to adapt.

Coach will change only 2 players in this game, while in both previous games he made several changes.

France need a win with 4 or more goals against Japan to qualify, or just a win if Mexico don't win against South Korea.

This should be a closed game but I don't see Japan to attack and risk their place.

Last win against South Africa boosted France and they should give everything in this game.

GL!

在A组中，东道主日本队战胜了墨西哥队和南非队，离下一轮只有一步之遥。

日本队的后防线中山裕太、板仓子、吉田玛雅和酒井广树正在组建一支强大而稳固的球队。

在对墨西哥的比赛中，他们在2-0领先的情况下丢了一个球，这是可以接受的。

森安教练在两场比赛中都使用了几乎相同的阵容，对墨西哥只做了一次改变。

也许今天我们可以看到一些变化，特别是中场和进攻，一些球员有身体问题。

这是6天来的第三场比赛，所有球队都开始感到疲劳了。

日本要想失去第一名，就必须以4个球的差距输给法国队，所以在目前的情况下，这几乎是不可能的。

法国队虽然在第1场比赛中以3比0负于墨西哥队，但凭借出色的前锋吉尼亚克的3粒进球，以4比3战胜了南非队。

正如我在上个选秀中所写的，法国没有最好的球员，但仍然有一些素质。他们很长时间没有一起打球，所以需要一些时间来适应。

在这两场比赛中，教练只更换了2名球员，而在之前的两场比赛中，他都做了一些改变。

法国队需要在对阵日本队的比赛中打进4球以上才能晋级，或者如果墨西哥队没有战胜韩国队，只要赢一场就可以了。

这应该是一场势均力敌的比赛，但我不认为日本会发动进攻，拿自己的位置冒险。

上一场对南非的胜利鼓舞了法国队，他们应该在这场比赛中全力以赴。
