I'm not a racist,but you got to admit that yellow skin athletes are somewhat inferior.that's why NBA scouts describe some best athlectic prospects potential 'only sky is the limit' or 'you can't teach height'.

So,before japanes player reach substantial skill and tactical-wise advantage, I'd rather choose hamsik,even boateng over honda anytime.

In last years world cup Japan became famous due to their hard work and fitness. Sure most of them are not very tall but to compensate, they are fast, look at Nagatomo and Kagawa.
