Friday's 2-0 loss to Japan was a look at, as we outlined in our match preview, many of the worst-case scenarios for this team.

Con apenas 21 años en la espalda, Danilo comienza a hacerse fama de coleccionista de huesos. El volante de Palmeiras tiene talento, pero su ímpetu a la hora de recuperar balones lo ha llevado a ir construyendo un generoso archivo de patadas criminales.
Hace poquito más de un mes, de hecho, le dejó sus tapones de recuerdo a Zaracho del Atlético Mineiro, en un duelo por Copa Libertadores...
Japanese international Shoya Nakajima had his debut in Turkish side Antalyaspor over the weekend in a game against Süper Lig leader Adana Demirspor FC, and boy, oh boy! I'm sure he was expecting a happier experience than the sour 20 seconds he was able to be on the field.

It doesn't seem fair to even call it a tackle. A more apt description would be “murder attempt.” Wolves found itself behind early against Manchester City, but center back Nathan Collins almost killed Man City winger Jack Grealish with a ridiculous challenge, as City cruised to a 3-0 win.
