Congratulations to Japan for advancing to the round of 32. It seems they are one of the rare Asian teams to make it. Looking at the other Asian teams, it appears that aside from Australia, which just needs a draw, the rest have to win to have a chance at being one of the eight best third-place finishers. That's really brutal. But in the round of 32, Japan has to face Brazil—what a nightmare. Japan had no choice either; in this match, just like South Korea, a draw would have been enough to advance.
