Only Japan stand in the way. . I would say Japan is the better team but hopefully the motivation to be exempt from military service is a bigger motivator

Edit. Just been reminded it's U23. Hopefully Son hammers them

Why would you say that the young Japanese team, not boosted by any stars, is better?

Bookies disagree and have South Korea as clear favourites.

Japan beat Malaysia 1-0; Malaysia beat South Korea 2-1

South Korea beat Vietnam 3-1; Vietnam beat Japan 1-0

South Korea: 17:6 +11

Oh yes... Forgot it was u23's... So hopefully there for Son to do it

Always find it ridiculous that you can have players over 23 in an under-23 tournament.
