Macala backs Japan to qualify

Bahrain head coach Milan Macala has backed Japan to claim a spot at next year's World Cup gathering in South Africa.Thanks to a Shunsuke Nakamura free-kick, Japan beat Bahrain 1-0 in Saitama on Saturday to claim top spot in Group One of Asia's final qualifying stage.With a combined total of four automatic berths available from Asia's two qualifying groups, Takeshi Okada's charges look odds on to reach South Africa, something Macala believes is now almost a certainty.
