Only pride left for Japan, Jamaica

Jamaica at least managed to score in their 3-1 loss to Croatia through Robbie Earle who plies his trade at South London Club, Wimbledon in England8217;s Premier League. But that was followed by humiliation in the 5-0 hammering by Argentina.

Japan, on the other hand, are still seeking that elusive first goal after two creditable 0-1 defeats which brought them much praise but nothing concrete to show for their efforts.
