Agony of Doha[edit]

During the qualifying for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, Japan faced Iraq in Doha, in the final match of the final qualifying round, on 28 October 1993, where Japan needed a win to advance, for guarantee qualification. However, Iraq produced a 2–2 tie, which resulted in elimination for both teams. --RLH Grumicker (talk) 04:45, 8 November 2014 (CET)

December 2022[edit]

I removed the explanation that China and North Korea are rivals of Japan. Records from the last 30 years or so show that China and North Korea are not rivals of Japan at all. Japan's record against China over the nearly 31 years since the Japan Professional Football League was launched in November 1991 is 13 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses. China last defeated Japan in 1998. Japan is overwhelmingly ahead of China and has barely played a game against North Korea. There are probably very few people interested in football who think these two countries are Japan's rivals.--SLIMHANNYA (talk) 05:36, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
