Kaoru Mitoma's goal secured Japan a second successive 1-0 win in World Cup warm-up friendlies, this time beating England at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday. Thomas Tuchel's side, winless in March after drawing with Uruguay, dominated possession but faltered against Japan's counters, mirroring their narrow loss for Scotland days earlier.
Former Japan and AC Milan star Keisuke Honda has signed with Singapore Premier League side FC Jurong at age 39 to resume his playing career. The club announced the attacking midfielder, who featured at three World Cups, will play for them next season. Honda said he aims to set new records.
