Saudi Arabia 1-0 Japan (Oct 7, 2021) Final Score

Japan

Whatever happened to Japan's 2002 FIFA World Cup stars who formed the first wave to Europe?

Shinji Ono might have gone quietly into the night but his genius will linger long in the memory

Once the scapegoat for Malaysia's failings, Darren Lok is finally feeling the love in more ways than one

With the retirement of Shinji Ono, only one member from Japan's star-studded 2002 World Cup squad remains active -- but whatever happened to them?

Shinji Ono called time on his storied career amid minimal fanfare at the age of 44 but his genius will linger for those who witnessed him at his peak.

Once unfairly regarded as the villain of Malaysian football, Darren Lok is finally feeling the love. And in more ways than one.
