Strengths

The most prolific team in the tournament (3.09 goals per game, 108 goals in 35 matches). Dominant qualifying campaign. Ayase Ueda (12 goals) leads a deep attacking lineup. Tactical sophistication under their coaching setup.

Weaknesses

Tournament-level opposition is different from Asian qualifying. 5 losses in 35 matches shows they can be beaten. Historic World Cup ceiling is the Round of 16.

Key Players

Ayase Ueda (12 goals), Takefusa Kubo, Ritsu Dōan, Kaoru Mitoma

Our Prediction

Will push Netherlands hard for Group F's top spot. Could surprise in the knockout rounds.
