A side issue here,
Japan were an absolute delight to watch, particularly in the first half when they had decided on a hight tempo game in order to unsettle Brazil.
They passed the ball crisply,all players were comfortable on the ball and they all had bags of energy. (If you have not seen their goal yet, watch out for it, if it had been Brazil or Argentina you would be seeing it replayed every 5 minutes)
But what was a pleasure to see was their discipline, no arguing, no play acting just totally honest athletes doing their best to play within the laws of the game. They really were a pleasure to watch. This was made more evident when later sitting to watch a full replay of the Aussie vs Croatia game. Some of the antics used by Croatia were a disgrace.
