Japan can hold its head high after this one. There is no shame in playing a hard game and losing to one of the best teams in the world. Mybe they should have stuck to what they do best, however, and make the magical plays rather than committing all the fouls. Fouls burned them on the first and third goals.
Still - congratulations To Kashiwa Reysols for an impressive run. It still has a chance at coming in third for the tournament.
Tourney results as they come in, and when I get a moment from my day job, to post them.
