And it is not even the first match, but it was one of the most captivating match, which i feel was in the tournament, up to now.
There are a few misses by the japan team. If they manage to convert those chances, they will not even have to play extra time nor penalty kick.
One of the critical misses which i feel was from Tulio. If only his leg was a bit longer...
And again, another first, which is the first penalty kick match in the entire world cup.
The penalty begins with favor in the Japan team. With the goal keeper, Kawashima, jumping in the correct direction for the first 2 kicks.
After the missed (3rd) kick by komano, the goalkeeper seems extremely nervous! And it went downhill all from there!
One thing i don't get it, why the hell did he wanna try to ram the ball into the top area of the net?
See the miss here..
i have no idea why the video is in slow motion, but you can feel that the ball is travelling extremely fast.
And this guy, i don't think he gonna feel good returning to japan.
Kinda sad to see those teary face fan at the end of the match.
Anyway, great work japan. You all done well against a south american team.
