Japan

"Samurai Blue. Tactical brilliance."

Japan is the best team in Asia and one of the most tactically sophisticated nations at the tournament. In 2022 they beat Germany and Spain in the group stage before going out on penalties. Their organized, technical, high-pressing style is a joy to watch — and they're fully capable of going deep again.
