One shot against Sweden
Tanaka recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Sweden.
Analysis: Tanaka was in solid form against Sweden despite an underwhelming statline, as the midfielder was constantly around the ball and pressuring Sweden attackers. He would end up completing 68 passe, his second straight match with more than 60 completed passes. After not starting the opener, the midfielder seems to be a clear factor for the team moving forward, likely to remain a starter in the knockouts.
Fires off one shot
Tanaka recorded one shot and four tackles won in Saturday's 4-0 win over Tunisia.
Analysis: Tanaka was in the starting XI Saturday after a bench role and going unused in their opener, playing the full 90 against Tunisia. He would see most of his work in the defense as his singular shot and four tackles won were the highlights of his day. He would complete 72 passes, second-best on the team Saturday.
