There is little at stake but self-esteem after the Group `H' debutantes both suffered predictable defeats at the hands of group favourites Argentina and Croatia.

Jamaica at least managed to score in their 3-1 loss to Croatia through Robbie Earle who plies his trade at South London Club, Wimbledon in England's Premier League. But that was followed by humiliation in the 5-0 hammering by Argentina.

Japan, on the other hand, are still seeking that elusive first goal after two creditable 0-1 defeats which brought them much praise but nothing concrete to show for their efforts.
