How to watch Japan vs Costa Rica Live Stream on TV

Japan will face Costa Rica in their World Cup Group E match on Sunday, 27 November 2022, at 10:00 GMT. Here’s how to watch Japan vs Costa Rica live stream free online. 

Japan managed to create a sensation in the opening round of the World Cup and unexpectedly beat the Germans, who are one of the main favourites for the tournament in terms of the quality of their current squad and level of play. Yes, the Japanese were lucky in many ways, but they were not at all embarrassed after conceding a goal and added aggression, which led to three points and brought them closer to qualifying for the tournament’s next round.

As for Costa Rica, it was an accident and after the defeat by Spain, detailed work on the mistakes will be done. The team is quite strong by world standards, is quite capable of beating any opponent, and still has a chance of making the playoffs. The team has quite a few skilful and quality players who are very experienced at such a high level and will try to improve the situation in the game against Japan.

The Costa Ricans should not be judged on their performance in the first round. The team is pretty good on all fronts and will be incredibly motivated in their clash with Japan. Yes, the Asian players looked pretty decent themselves, but their win was more of a fluke and I don’t think they can repeat that success in their second World Cup meeting.
