Robert Waseige, manager of the Belgian team that will face Japan in the World Cup finals, kept his cards very close to his chest as he met the Japanese media on Monday.

Asked how well acquainted he was with the Japanese team, he replied: "I don't know anyone apart from Nakata."

Waseige says he only has knowledge of the Japan team from videos he has watched, although he did concede to having seen Shinji Ono play for Feyenoord on television.
