WCQ - AFC News
Japan have exacted revenge over Brazil for their World Cup elimination with a dramatic 3-2 win in Singapore on Saturday.
Singapore will have valuable lessons to take from Friday's 4-1 loss to FIFA World Cup opposition in the form of Paraguay.
Singapore will have plenty of motivation when they take on Paraguay and Brazil -- and not just because of the glitz and glamour of the occasion.
Singapore coach Gavin Lee has confirmed he is in talks to extend his contract following the postponement of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.
