Saturday, 21 November 2009


TOKYO, Nov 20 (AFP): Japan coach Takeshi Okada has insisted that his squad's target of a semi-final spot at next year's World Cup remains unchanged no matter who may stand in their way, according to reports.
"Nothing will change," he told Japanese media Thursday when he was shown by journalists the complete list of 32 World Cup qualifiers and asked if he would still stick to the ambitious goal.
