  1. Japan started the game with 6 subs against a team that's much higher in ranking (Poland ranked 9th while Japan ranked 61). Jeez they got balls.

  2. Ese Lewandowski no hace ni un gol ni al arco iris, de gana se metió a Qatar 2022, va ser nuevamente el colista del grupo jajajajaja, Suecia le puede hacerle pelea, no Polonia

  3. Japan lost but celebrate. Well, I hope Japan will shock the world one day and become a world champion. Their women have already done that at the highest level.
