I tried to look up when the last time was that Japan had to go up for penalties and I legit cant find it.
Last one on record is 0-0 vs Paraguay in R16 in 2010. Seems like there's a good chance most of these players have never taken a penalty on big stage
I wouldnt be surprised if this is what Dalic is banking on considering history in the comp, but taking off Modric and Kova is puzzling in that scenario
