Nothing to say

Thank you, Okada Japan!

Thank you, Samurai Blue!

We surely lost the game against Paraguay but were never defeated by them.
Japan and Paraguay were equal in strength therefore were not able to bring the match to an end after 30 minutes of extra time; What brought it to an end was the penalty-kicks 5-3.

All we lacked is just luck or fortune.
I have nothing to say about the defeat by the penalty-kicks!
All the fans and supporters in Japan would certainly welcome the coming-back of the team.

By the way, the match started at 11 p.m. Jun. 29 and ended at 2 a.m. the next day in Japanese Time.
And according to FIFA, the Japanese midfielder on the loser team, Honda Keisuke has been elected Man of the Match (see here.)


(Added Jul. 2.) Nobody cannot reproach Komano Yuuchi for failing in penalty-kicks. Of course none of his teammates did not do such a thing. According to MSN Sankei News, a Paraguayan forward, Nelson Valdez consoled him as well as his teammates.

It says in Japanese:
5人目のキッカー、カルドソが決勝のゴールを決めると、歓喜の輪を抜けだし、1人のパラグアイ選手が駒野に駆け寄り、額をすりつけるようにして何かを語りかけた。自身4人目のキッカーとして落ち着いてゴール中央にPKを決めたアエドバルデスだった。おそらくスペイン語だったのだろう。駒野は何を言われているのか分からないはずだが、しきりにうなづいていた。気持ちは通じていたのだろう。

Following is translated by myself:
A Paraguayan player slipped out of waves of victory and happiness and ran up to Komano Yuuichi after the fifth kicker of Paraguay, Oscar Cardozo, made the winning goal on the penalty-kicks: Nelson Valdez, who was the fourth kicker and carmly made a goal. He talked to Komano, holding Komano's head and rubbing his own forehead against Komano's one. He might probably have whispered in Spanish. Komano was frequently nodding though it was sure that Komono was not able to understand what Valdez said. Feelings might have shared with each other.

Very beautiful scene. He's a good guy!

"I'm sure I shoot the ball you missed into the Spain's goal net!" (「お前が外したボールは俺がスペインゴールにぶちこんでやる!」) Among the Japanese users on Twitter there is a rumor that Valdez said so to Komano. It must be a demagogy made by the unknown but very touching demagogy. I would like to know what he said too but we should not ask them about that. That's just gauche. I am just sympathized with a friendship between males because it is harder for me to get such a relationship with persons around myself.

Thank you, Valdez! I dare say that it would be proud that Japan was defeated by no team than Paraguay with Valdez.

By the way, Valdez have played in Germany (Bundesliga) since 2001 so he must speak in German and English as well as Spanish. ...That doesn't matter! lol
