ππβ½ Is Japan the Dark Horse of the World Cup?
When looking at the expected powerhouses of women’s football, all eyes were on the US πΊπΈ and Europe πͺπΊ. But here comes Japan!π
The shocker isn’t just that powerhouses like the United States and Germany, well-renowned for their football prowess, were quickly sent packing. πΆββοΈπ² Of the five European teams still in contention, it’s Japan that’s stealing the limelight. Known as Nadeshiko, they’ve showcased an impressive goal-scoring ability, racking up 14 goals, with their goalkeeper conceding only once. Hinata Miyazawa, their midfield dynamo, has already netted five times in this World Cup!π₯π₯
After their victory against the US in 2011, they took a backseat. But now, they’re back in full swing. Spain’s coach is still scratching his head over the 4-0 thrashing by Japan, admitting that the defeat wasnβt just on the field but also mental.π€―
After the 3-1 victory against Norway, Norwegian star Caroline Graham Hansen stated that Japan might just be the team to lift the World Cup. She commented, βThey have a disciplined and structured approach, both offensively and defensively.β

Only time will tell this Friday if Sweden has what it takes to challenge the relentless Japanese team.
Many didn’t give Japan much of a chance at the outset of the World Cup, even their former coach, Asako Takakura, believed Japan couldn’t match the international standards of women’s football. But the narrative has shifted. Japan has proven they’re here to compete and hungry for success.
The new coach, Futoshi Ikeda, has built a team with agility and skill. Many of these players ply their trade in top leagues across the US, England, Italy, and Sweden. This international exposure has undeniably bolstered their confidence in the World Cup.
Saki Kumagai, Japan’s captain, confidently states they’re prepared to take on any challenge. Notably, she’s the only surviving member from the victorious 2011 squad.
So, the burning question remains: Can Japan continue their impressive run? Are they set to lift the World Cup trophy? Let’s sit back, watch, and find out. β½ππππΏππΎ
