Japan might be Australias arch-rivals in Asia and their chief roadblock on the way to Russia.But Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou has revealed his admiration for the Blue Samurai ahead of Tuesdays World Cup qualifier in Melbourne.Theres plenty of history but little animosity between Australia and Japan.In 2006, the Socceroos left their mark in their first World Cup in 32 years when Tim Cahill sparked a come from behind success over Japan in Germany.Five years later, the Blue Samurai denied Australia in the Asian Cup final with an extra-time heartbreaker to deny Australia its first piece of Asian silverware.In 23 matches, the ledger is almost exactly even - with Australia taking seven wins, Japan eight, and eight draws.Both Postecoglou and counterpart Vahid Halilhodzic shared their respect for the other side on Monday.According to Halilhodzic, Australia is powerful, organised, disciplined and high quality.Theres little the Socceroos coach doesnt like about Japanese football.My view is the J-League is the strongest league in the region. I admire the way the leagues run, Postecoglou said.Its only at a national team level we can justifiably challenge them at the moment.Theyre the number one country in youth development as well ... were quite a way behind.But at national team level, we compete very well.The respect isnt just talk.The A-League and J-League signed a co-operation agreement earlier this year to strengthen technical and organisational ties and increase matches between the two countries at all levels.While Tuesdays game - and the high stakes involved - has the potential to test the friendship, Postecoglou believes its more likely to produce a stunner.I think theres a mutual respect there between the two nations, an admiration, he said.When I look at the players that are going to take the field I see a high quality game and a game thats going to excite the supporters.
