just give credit where it due, the Japanese outplay the cameroon, Eto'o can not do anything cause he is been tightly marked, secondly the goal keeper have been super and very affective same as their defense line, the forward play well and delivered finishing touch which the team needed, and I don't see anything that the Cameroon threatening the Japanese defense beside the 3 shots
