Till de överskattade svennarna. Hoppet lever än hos mig av någon anledning.
Tror också det kan bli en knapp svensk vinst och Brasilien i sextondelsfinalen.
Det förmodas att Japans förbundskapten Moriayasu kommer att rotera laget radikalt.

The big story heading into this fixture is the scale of the expected Japanese rotation. Moriyasu is set to make seven changes to the starting eleven, resting key performers Ueda, Kamada, Ito, Keito Nakamura, Ko Itakura, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Hiroki Ito. Only goalkeeper Zion Suzuki and midfielders Ao Tanaka and Kaishu Sano are likely to retain their places.
The expected defensive replacements Shogo Taniguchi (39 caps), Junnosuke Suzuki (seven caps) and Tsuyoshi Watanabe (12 caps) have a combined 58 international appearances between them, compared with 112 for the first-choice trio. Koki Ogawa, who has 11 goals in 16 caps, is expected to lead the line in place of the prolific Ueda.
Moriyasu clearly has one eye on the knockout rounds, and the gamble could pay off provided the reserve players perform at a level sufficient to avoid defeat. The depth of the Japanese squad is respectable, but the step down in experience is significant.
Tror det blir en eller två ändringar i Potters startelva. Det snackas ju om Besfort Zeneli, som var "fnittrig" på en presskonferens - han torde väl gå in på Benjamin Nygrens plats i så fall.
