Lions slain by Honda - Japan 1-0 Cameroon

Tamed Indomitable Lions
Japan edged a dour game
Bloemfontein's Free State Stadium
Where the action was very tame

Japan lead against the play
Countering Cameroon pressure
Matsui's cross looping Hamidou
Coolly slotted by Keisuke Honda

Samuel Eto'o again deployed wide
Poor against the Blue Samurai
Natives of the Orient rejoice
Le Guen will now ponder "why"?

Number 7
