Japan
The Japanese national team is a regular participant in the World Championships, but it has not achieved great success yet, even it is rarely possible to get out of the group. The Japanese overcame the qualification without any problems, having obtained a direct ticket. The Japanese national team has a lot of representatives of the strongest clubs in Europe in the cage, because they were able to withstand the onslaught of the Germans, winning the first meeting, after which, however, unexpectedly, the samurai lost to modest Costa Rica with a score of 1:0.
Spain
One of the favorites of the tournament is the Spanish national team, even despite all the problems with the squad and the lack of a stable scorer. The Spaniards confidently qualified, winning in their group. The golden days of Spain have already passed, but there are still enough high-quality performers in the team, and also competent coaching is felt. So the Spaniards defeated Costa Rica in the first round, after which they were able to cling to a 1-1 draw against a strong Germany.
