27. Japan

Japan, on the other hand, did a very decent job on the ball. They had a very good passing completion rate, which resulted in the fourth highest average possession per game. If only they converted that time spent on the ball into worthwhile attacks, they would’ve made a statement in their group.

Instead, Japan only scored two goals in their three matches.

Goals Scored: 2 (26th)

Goals Conceded: 6 (19th)

Completed Passes: 78% (8th)

Attacks: 141 (13th)

Shot on goal per total shots: 61% (15th)

Possession: 55.7% (4th)

Completed Clearances: 83% (19th)

Saves: 8 (27th)
