They played really well, yeah.
Germany's defense sort of collapsed, seeing as they allowed a shot like every 3-5 minutes by Japan before they scored.

What a crazy result, it’s close to as crazy as Argentina’s defeat

Hell of a game.

Excellent match. Japan just played with so much spirit. Germany caught napping a few times and then couldn't equalise.
I had Japan as a dark horse in this cup. I hope they do well.

Congrats! That was super entertaining!

I don't see them outside of the world cup, but they always seem to give it 110%, sprint up and down the field the entire match to the point where all of them are struggling with cramps by the end, but never slacking off. I love their very positive vibe/energy they give off.
​
Didn't they lose during last championship precisely because of that? I think I remember them leading in score, but unlike tactical european teams, that would play defensively and wait for breaks, the japanese played offensively to the last minute and left holes in the defense for the opponent to turn the score around? I was absolutely hearthbroken for them.

The Japanese team clean up on the field and off the field. Nice.

No it’s not… #11 losing to #24. The former was #3 losing to #51.

They were incredibly naive vs Belgium. But arguably they just wanted to avoid Extra Time and thought they had a better chance to win in regulation. So idk.

There’s something quite satisfying about this result… maybe it’s the surprise aspect, or the underdog aspect, or the aspect that the German team has historically been associated with poor sportsmanship (at least in the 90s and early 2000s when I was paying attention to the World Cup).

Made me laugh! But honestly, if fifa doesn't fix things moving forward, i could see players losing interest like with USA basketball.

You’re right though, in the scheme of things no one would have called it. It’s getting exciting now!

Maybe take this one back to the drawing board
dershmoo t1_ixif7yv wrote
Actually many Germans would’ve called it. Our team sucks for quite a while now. Even after the 1-0 I told my friend we are still going to lose.
Spain is going to humiliate us again.

To be fair, the germans lost on purpose to protest against the DFB, FIFA and the Qatar Championship.

I agree, Budweiser is straight up tasteless piss beer. And they cost $20 plus per cup at the World Cup 2018.
