This was the fourth match of Japan against the Germans in World League play, with Germany winning the other three. This was an entertaining see-saw match, thrilling the hometown Koshigaya fans who had hoped to host World League matches in 2011, but could not because of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Japan was led by the dynamic duo of Kunihiro Shimizu and Yu Koshikawa, who scored 24 and 22 points, respectively. For Germany, Marvin Prolingheuer scored 22 points, a valiant effort on his birthday.
POOL D, standings:
France 27 (9-2), Argentina 25 (8-3), Germany 14 (5-7), Japan 3 (1-11)
