Not that I really care who wins the final, I know we are all upset that TM did not make it! But it seems to me that if Qatar wins the final it will benefit us in the long run as they will win the cup for the first time (Japan won't win it for 5th time)! Also, we can say to some extent that the result against Japan was an incident...
Anyways,, I am not trying to take anything away from this Japan team... we just had a bad game yesterday.
