FIFA Confederations Cup 2013: Top 5 players to watch out for when Mexico play Japan

1. Keisuke Honda

The Japanese midfielder was flying against Italy. He made a number of runs as if the Italian defense did not exist. His passing was top-notch and he must be on the radar of top clubs who can use the offensive vision he possesses. He was a leader on the pitch and fulfilled the responsibility by slotting the penalty Japan were awarded to give his team their opening goal. He will command a lot of respect when he goes out to finish the job against Mexico; and if he is allowed to control the game, Mexico will not want to have a look at the scorecard at the end of the day.
