The Qatar World Cup has only the 3rd place match and the final match left. Even after 62 matches, I can assure you that this tournament will be remembered by football fans as a tournament that caused many upheavals and upsets.
Most notably, the rapid progress of Asian companies. For the first time in history, three countries (Australia, Japan, and South Korea) decided to advance to the knockout rounds, and Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina, the top contender for the title, on the third day of the tournament.
Delivering sensational news to the world. Among them, Moriyasu Japan's rapid advance seems to have left a vivid impact on foreign journalists. On December 16, local time, the British satellite broadcaster "Sky Sports' reporters have taken a closer look at the Japanese game.
First, reporter Dan Long, who chose the third match of the group stage against Spain as the "best match of the tournament", said, "There were some surprising matches, but I couldn't help but love Japan's match against Spain. I can't do it," he praised. Regarding the development of Moriyasu Japan's come-from-behind win despite being one goal behind, "Spain seemed to win easily with Alvaro Morata's goal.
However, Japan turned the game around in an instant. "This match was undoubtedly a surprise for La Roja and their preparation for the last 16." Reporter Peter Smith, who chose ``the dramatic final game of Group E'' as the best moment of the tournament, praised, ``This group final game has taken the World Cup to a new level.'' And he continued: "Spain came from behind with Japan's controversial goal, and Costa Rica, who had lost 7-0 in their opening game, took a temporary but sensational lead over Germany. Ultimately. Luis Enrique's team advances through the group.Germany have no respite and the insane Japan emerges as group leader.
Unbelievably, FIFA will abolish this grouping system at the next World Cup. I have decided to do it.” Japan caused a “turmoil” by defeating Germany and Spain in reverse. Unfortunately, they were unable to advance to the top 8 for the first time in history, but there is no doubt that their breakthrough increased the enthusiasm of the tournament as a whole.
