Japan's journey is over

June 30, is the ending date of journey for Japan's national soccer team. Japan lost to Praguay in the penalty game 5-3 and ended their journey for 2010 World Cup. I want to saythank you to both teams especially for Japan and good luck for the Paraguay. The game goes even, both team was very diffensive and aimed counter attack but couldn't score. They fought the extra game but still couldn't score. According to the rule of FIFA, the result will decided by the penalty shoot out.

Komano, is the name of the player, who shooted to the cross bar. I was so shocked at this moment. But I continued believing Kawashima's saving and looked the final shooter of Paraguay with a lot of hope. The result was....... lost. At that moment, Japan's World Cup 2010 is ended. I was so sad that I almost cried. However, I'm proud of Japan's national soccer team and proud that I'm Japanese. I will never blame Komano because without him, we could never come to the best 16. Once more, I want to say thank you to all the players of Japan's national soccer team and also, Cameroon, Netherland, Denmark, and Paraguay. Thank you all, thank you South Africa!
