Their main rivals for one of the spots would be Japan, and if they are not able to overcome them this time in their own stadium, then it certainly demonstrates the difference in standard between the two sides. While Japan has stuttered at the start, they have managed to recover quickly in the last game as proven by the good result and now look brimming with confidence again as they try not to let their passionate fans down.
The Japanese also definitely has better talent that will play in this live online streaming TV World Cup 2010 qualifying between Oman and Japan as more of their players have gone to European clubs, some of them quite famous, and gained invaluable experience playing in big leagues and tournaments. One of them would be Celtic midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura who has continued to shine at both club and international level. The difference between Nakamura and his predecessors like Nakata is that he is more hardworking and humble, and with the many trophies he has won with Celtic, that maturity is displayed on the field as he leads his teammates to more success in the region. With a bit more flair and finishing prowess, the Japanese could also beat their rivals in this live streaming TV and radio Asian World Cup qualifying match between Oman and Japan and might actually be able to start booking their tickets for the next round this early.
