As expected, Japan got off to a tough start against Germany in their first game in Qatar. It didn't get any easier either when they got a penalty against themselves, which Ilkay Gundogan managed to materialize. In the second half, Germany had a chance at 1-0 to finish "Samurai", but the great goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda had several phenomenal interventions. Japan's coach Hajime Moriyasu should only be praised. He made wise changes that led to a marked change. Ritsu Doan came on from the bench and equalized. Takuma Asano was inspired and did exactly the same thing. In addition, they defended themselves strongly as a collective and did not allow themselves to be broken down. With the 3-pointer, Japan put itself in an excellent position. A win over Costa Rica guarantees a playoff spot. Making it past the group stage is something the Japanese have managed in the last 3 championships. So everything is on Japan's side in this match. Against Costa Rica, Japan won 4 out of a total of 5 meetings. The reason is that Costa Rica is totally out of form. Their coach Fernando Suarez can question the commitment of all players. It's not just that they lost 7-0 against Spain, who totally demolished them. There was no will to war. Costa Rica constantly lost almost all ball duels and created nothing themselves. For a while, it looked like they didn't even care how the event ended. It was an embarrassing effort that is not enough in a World Cup. Their rival tomorrow is a team who breathes like one and it's showing fantastic teamwork, where they attack with 10 players and defend with 10 players. As Japan was brilliant against Germany, they should just run over Costa Rica, whose morale is not sky-high after its embarrassment against Spain.

不出所料，日本队在卡塔尔的首场比赛中遭遇了德国队的艰难开局。当他们在对自己的比赛中获得一个点球时，情况也没有变得更容易，伊尔凯·贡德根成功地实现了这个点球。下半场，德国队在1-0有机会完成“武士”，但伟大的门将刚田修一有几次现象级的干预。日本队教练森康元(Hajime Moriyasu)应该得到的只有表扬。他做出了明智的改变，导致了明显的变化。段礼秀从替补席上上场，扳平了比分。Takuma Asano受到启发，做了一模一样的事情。此外，他们作为一个集体，坚决捍卫自己，不允许自己被击垮。凭借这记三分球，日本队占据了绝佳的位置。只要战胜哥斯达黎加，就能进入季后赛。在过去的三届锦标赛中，日本队都能在小组赛中出线。所以在这场比赛中，一切都站在日本队一边。日本队在与哥斯达黎加队的5次交锋中赢得了4次胜利。原因是哥斯达黎加完全不在状态。他们的教练费尔南多·苏亚雷斯可以质疑所有球员的投入。这不仅仅是因为他们0 - 7输给了西班牙，西班牙彻底摧毁了他们。没有战争的意愿。哥斯达黎加经常输掉几乎所有的球类决斗，自己什么也没创造出来。有一段时间，他们看起来甚至不关心事件如何结束。这是一个尴尬的努力，在世界杯上是不够的。他们明天的对手是一支呼吸像一支球队的球队，他们展示了出色的团队合作，他们用10名球员进攻，用10名球员防守。日本队在对阵德国的比赛中表现出色，他们应该直接击败哥斯达黎加，后者在对阵西班牙的比赛中表现尴尬，士气不高。
