Japan fans left Brazil yesterday with the heaviest heart as the Blue Samurai crashed out of the World Cup following a 4-1 defeat to Columbia.
Personally, I have been rooting for Japan in the World Cup. Here are 9 things I will remember Japan for:
1. Superb passes
Some call it the tiki-taka style of play, but indubitably the team has an uncanny ability to produce the most telepathic passes, which allows them to have clear shots at goal. For the last match with Colombia, they created 24 shots while Columbia only manged 13 shots
2. Alluring Blue Jersey
Living up to their nickname, the Blue Samurais has one of the most attractive blue jerseys contrasted with neon orange.
3. Shinji Kagawa
The star player of the Japanese team who is currently playing for Manchester United. Would have expected more magic from him this World Cup.
4. Their mascot -Pikachu!
Kawaii... Isn't he cute!!
5. Graciousness of the fans.
It should be publicised to every corner of the world by now, that the Japanese took the liberty to clean up their garbage after every match, leaving their area cleaner than before. Very wonderful manners and culture.
It's a pity to see Japan crashed out during the group stage, and I really hope to see them perform better in the next World Cup!
