Japan vs. Senegal Live Streaming Online
After beating Colombia, Japan will be desperate to prove that it was not a fluke result and follow it up with a win against Senegal who put in a spirited performance to beat Poland 2-1.
Senegal manager Aliou Cisse is "certain" an African team will one day win the World Cup, and while lifting the trophy may be far-fetched for Senegal, they looked very impressive against Poland and could be this year’s dark horses.
Both Japan and Senegal’s fans earned plaudits when their fans stayed behind after their opening games and helped to tidy up the stadium. On the pitch it may be less friendly with both teams knowing that a victory will be a huge step into the last 16.

Per Kyodo News' Sean Miyaguchi, Japan are keeping an eye on Keisuke Honda's fitness after he suffered a bruised thigh in their opening game and had to train on his own as a result.
According to Transfermarkt, M'Baye Niang could be a doubt for Senegal because of an ankle problem.
Niang was receiving treatment on the sidelines immediately before he returned to the field to score Senegal's second goal, and he was withdrawn with 11 minutes remaining in the match.
Preview
Expectations were low for Japan at the World Cup after they changed managers in April, and the Samurai Blue lost 2-0 in each of new boss Akira Nishino's first two games in charge.
