The 40,000 Australian fans on the scene, without a word, fell into a dead silence; thousands of Japanese fans rose to the occasion, celebrating the team's 7th qualifying for the World Cup.
Since the 1998 World Cup, the Japanese team has qualified for the World Cup for 7 consecutive times! I have to admit that Japanese football is the top power in Asia, and it is easy to enter the World Cup. The strong are the strong, even if the start is not smooth - in the first 3 rounds of the round of 12, the Japanese team only scored 3 points with 1 win and 2 losses, which was questioned by the outside world. Interestingly, the national football team also scored 3 points in the first 3 games. But then, the Japanese team won all 6 games, and the national football team did not win one, and did not qualify for the World Cup in advance...
