That having said, they smashed the the Land of the Rising Sun's Team without too much respect. Worth noting is that a very decent team was gather for a friendly tour - the names of Ramires, David Luiz, Kaka, Hulk, Neymar - all speak for themselves. The latter confused many spectators: so far his headdress was pretty much recognisable whilst this time very "polite". His transfer into one of the European Leagues is not a finished story as yet (FC Santos reportedly want more than originally agreed with the Barcelona bosses) however this does not change the picture at all: the chap's talent is enormous and he he does not go nuts, we will soon have somebody to compete with Lionel Messi on the European soil. I should have probably also added "and Cristiano Ronaldo" but I will not do that, for a very simple reason: he is not my favourite, so to speak. I am aware this is of absolutely no harm to CR7, in one of his interviews he was mostly sincere: " I am handsome, rich and play football very well, so many people do hate me".

The Japanese team tried hard however - with all due respect - despite substantial progress in the play quality, it is not yet enough for Brazil even in a "friendly" mood. Not yet, whilst a number of renowned names is growiing very fast and the mighty ones will have to strecth in a match versus Japan very soon. The progress is well seen even from today's perspective: we (Poles) are happy with the "Dortmund trio" and this phase seems to be history for the Japanese: Shinji Kagawa plays for Man Utd whereas Lewandowski is reportedly on the club's wish list. With an accent on "reportedly".
