World Cup, Japan vs Greece: as it happened

Catch all the Live action from the Group C match between Japan and Greece at the Estadio das Dunas in Natal. (Scroll down for the Live Blog)

Rock-solid defenders who constantly chase, tackle and bully their opponents have been the key to Greece tactics ever since they became European champions in 2004.

Greece now face Japan in Natal in a game that could very well put either team out of contention. Japan lost to Ivory Coast 2-1 in their opener, meaning neither team can really afford another defeat if they hope to advance out of Group C.

Japan advanced to the round of 16 four years ago but lost to Paraguay on penalties. Greece have bowed out in the group stage in their previous two World Cups.
