Japan national football team forward Shinji Kagawa (R) and forward Yoshito Okubo (2nd R) greet fans during the team’s send-off event for the World Cup Brazil 2014 in Tokyo on May 25, 2014. Japan Football Association (JFA) president Kuniya Daini told a place in the World Cup quarter-finals should be their minimum target as the players sparked the sort of reaction normally reserved for rock stars in a rousing send-off for Brazil.
