Kozo Kinomoto, deputy chief of JFA technical development committee, holds the list of Japan's 2002 World Cup squad announced in Tokyo on Friday."I know my list (of players) on May 17 will be logical choices," he said. "There will be no surprises. I think we don't need a press conference for that. I think I'll just release the list because it will not be news for Japan.
