The 2006 World Cup final draw was announced. Japan is in Group F, with Brazil, Croatia and Australia. I was surprised to hear that Croatia's ranking of FIFA is bellow Japan's one. I can't believe. (Japan is 15th place, Croatia is 20th place.) If I remember correctly, Croatia came out 3rd in the 1998 World Cup. At that time, Japan was in same group as Croatia.
But it seems that FIFA ranking is uncertain. Germany is 16th, below Japan. That can't be it. Advancing to the final is difficult for Japan.
By the way, Man U missed both the final tournament of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup. Oh... Battle in Europe is intense.
