Seeing Japanese fans cleaning their trash and Japanese players their dressing room, once again they showed me how much they deserve respect. On the pitch, players like Kagawa, Honda, and Nagatomo who play in Europe and other warrior-like ones gave great effort as a team. Last night, they really came so close to realizing the victory with two dreadful counter-attacks, but again it was a counter-attack which finishes the game for them.

In the end, Japan is such a team I want to watch again.
