Japan and its fans left lasting memories that won the Asian nation plenty of plaudits in Qatar and across the watching world.
In the early days of Qatar 2022, Japan’s stunning and surprising 2-1 comeback win against Germany helped establish the idea that this tournament could be a showcase for the strength of soccer’s other continents outside of Europe and South America – the World Cup has never been won by a team from outside of those two continents, nor has one even contested the final. After the win over Germany, Japan’s players cleaned up their dressing room, leaving it looking immaculate.
However, after a video assistant referee review, the goal was allowed to stand and Japan held on for a historic victory. Subsequently, FIFA said in two tweets that VAR officials “used the goal line camera images to check if the ball was still partially on the line or not. Other cameras may offer misleading images but on the evidence available, the whole of the ball was not out of play.
