The Women’s World Cup has been a revelation for Japan, but when they take on Sweden in the quarterfinals at Eden Park on Friday, they must prepare for the ultimate clash of styles.

The 2011 World Cup champions, who are the only team still playing, have advanced to the round of eight with 14 goals scored in four games and one goal allowed.

They are one of the few teams that line up with three center-backs, and they have been effective on the counterattack, with their passing being precise behind the opponent defense and their finishing being precise in the final third.
