No thread for tonight's last 16 match then?
These two teams met in the 2002 World Cup at Saitama, in a match which finished 2-2 in group H, with both teams going through to the second round back then. Marc Wilmots even scored an overhead kick. It was Japan's opening game but, as was the style at the time, hosts had to wait their turn to play their first match and the stadium had already been used by England and Sweden.
(I wonder if that Saitama fixture will be repeated in this tournament, too?)
