"[There was] a lot to take from the performance. One or two things we could do better. To lose it on the goal we lost was disappointing. It looked as though the game would peter out to a 0-0 draw, we got caught unbalanced."
"It was a good test for us, Japan are a good side. Obviously [we are] disappointed with the result, but going into the World Cup it's good to play these opponents. It was a good run out, we'll learn loads from that and get better."
