Tom.

Big early, big early Holland.

Also, they're going to be facing a team that really look dazzling.

These fellows here, Samurai Blue, they're quick, they press, they're transition.

Some good results in there as well.

So the numbers with Japan are really exciting.

As we mentioned in our preview show, they were the first team to qualify for this year's tournament.

They went through that extended Asian qualifying process in the course of which they scored 54 goals.

And how many did they concede?

Three.

woof hey now they're on this long unbeaten run the last six of which have all been victories and that's included wins against Brazil and England so hello and yeah they've had a few injury problems with Mitoma going out and Endo as well he sadly had to retire but they they are a proper team and this group looks tough they've got Tunisia Sweden Netherlands who they face and themselves but they were in a group last time in Qatar with Spain and Germany and they topped that group so

All right, we'll see what happens with them on Sunday.

The other game in the group is Sweden against Tunisia, which producer Charlie points out features a former Swansea manager against a former Cardiff manager.

That's the former Swansea man wearing his special.

Incredible.

John Williams should be there for it.

Yeah.

How excited are you?

That's Graham Potter, of course.

And you know who the former Cardiff manager is?
