Japan vs Croatia: TV channel, kick-off time, stream FREE, team news and prediction for World Cup last-16 tie

Published on December 02, 2022 at 05:07 PM

JAPAN’S route to earning a World Cup last-16 tie with Croatia has been full of drama to say the least – and not many predicted they would get this far.

The Asian giants found themselves in a tough group with Germany and Spain, but they immediately stunned the world by beating the Germans 2-1 on their opening day.

However, Japan were quickly brought back to reality by Costa Rica four days later courtesy of a late Keysher Fuller strike.

But with the help of a very controversial VAR call, the Japanese stars managed to slay the Spaniards which ultimately helped them secure a last-16 place.

And now, Hajime Moriyasu’s men come up against a Croatian side who were forced to fend off Belgium’s golden generation to get here.
