I’ve met so many wonderful Japanese people whilst out here, they had a special journey & I hope to one day visit the country to watch the J League! VAMOS NIPPON 🇯🇵
@@EBRPofficial Penalties are a cruel way of losing, especially since there's so much pressure on that player to score. Give them credit for their hard work.
Actually, Croatian fans were chanting our most recognizable game chant: ‘U boj, u boj, za narod svoj.’ The direct translation would be: ‘Into battle, into battle, for our people.’ We weren’t chanting anything towards the Japanese crowd… All respect goes to the Japanese side. They were amazing.
In fact "U boj, u boj" by Nikola Šubić Zrinski is/was an anthem of the Kwansei Gakuin university. They picked it up orally from Austro-hungarian sailors (Czechs and Croats) who were stationed there during the period of WWI.. P.S. or maybe other conflict I'm not sure ..
I'm from Croatia, I can only say that Japan was a great opponent. They deserved a better result than this, but this is football. Good luck at the next world cup!
As a Japanese person, I was rooting for this team, and I cried because they weren't able to make it to the quarterfinals😢 However, I am very happy to have played against such great teams as Spain, Germany, Croatia and Costa Rica. I would like to express my gratitude to the foreigners who have supported Japan🇯🇵🙇♂️
I'm croatian and I was sad after the game because I didn't want anyone to lose 😂 Japan really won me over, they played in such an interesing way and I would say that they were better most of the game. I admire the players for having such incredible stamina and speed. If Japan won, I would cheer for you to go to finale! Now I hope that you get better for next world cup and go even further, you deserve it!
I really enjoyed watching the Japanese team in this World Cup. I am proud of them as Japanese , even though the result was frustrating again this time. I believe that Japan will become strong again based on this experience. Also, a lot of non-Japanese people supported Japan in this tournament. Thank you so much! See you again in four years 🙂🇯🇵
Here from Morroco and litteraly sobbed after the penalties 😭😭 and even cried more after seeing Yoshida crying 😭 I am forever going to support Japan!! Looking déjà forward to the next world cup and to the Asian cup ! My home country is playing tomorrow and I hope the bestest of luck !! I so wish we make it to the 1/8 ❤️❤️❤️🎌🎌🎌🎌🎌🎌🎌🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Japan was my favourite, shame we had to play against them. I really love the way Japanese players and fans are so disciplined and polite, real gentlemen. It broke my heart seeing them cry cause it reminded me of us in 2018. You can tell these people really love their country and football. You can be really proud of yourselves Japan!
Croatia beat Japan on penalties with experience. Japan had their chances in the second half, and the extra time is just Croatia slowly controlling and overwhelming the midfield. Ggwp
Big respect for Croatia from Japan. It was a great game with the great sportsmanship from both teams. Croatia is my favorite team since the last world cup. I remember my heart was broken at the moment they couldn’t get the trophy. Their teamwork is beautiful and Modric is the greatest captain ever. Hope they will be the champion this time for sure!!
Hi Kei, this game was even harder for me as I am Croatian and my wife is Japanese, it was a win for Croatia and I was happy for it but on the other hand I am sad that it was Japan we beat. I feel so sorry for Japan and my wife and her family, so I am not going to celebrate this win. I wish Japan the very best in the future and your time will come. Will be coming to Japan in February cant wait, my second favourite country
@@powderskier5547 It was a honor that we played against such a wonderful team and fans. A little sad but also happy that I can still dream about Croatia’s victory. Never been to Croatia but I can easily tell you have beautiful cultures and great people.Definitely want to visit someday. Have a wonderful time with your family in February!
@@Miroslav489Thanks! My heart will be with Croatia for the upcoming games. Wish the Victory for the incredible team&fans with great passions and humbleness.
I am Croatian and very happy because we won, but I am really sad because of people from Japan, I wish you could go further with us, I think your football team was great and I wish you more luck next time 🇭🇷♥️
Well done Japan, as an Asian, I have always been a staunch supporter of the Japanese team. Although they didn't make it to the top 8 this time, I saw their efforts. The victory over Germany 🇩🇪 Spain 🇪🇸, two former world champions, was great, Japan is the light of football in East Asia!
It's safe to say all Croats loved the Japan team and hated that we had to play you guys. Even as a Croat, I would have been fine with getting knocked out by such a team because you played fair, you played tough and you played with so much heart! Most Croats are aware of Japan's history, how important honor is to you and how much dignity you have as a people and your team truly embodied those same qualities. You can be proud of them and the result! I'll be rooting for you guys in the next WC for sure! :)
Respect to Japan from Croatia. Really sloppy inefficient game from both sides but it was still a hardfought game by two countries with a determined and strong mindset, so this game was a pleasure to watch. Good job Croatia, and Good Luck for Japan going forward. Two great countries with great people.
I am Japanese. It was a disappointing defeat for me. But I want Croatia to beat Brazil. The Croatian goalkeeper showed a saving ability like the legend Pletikosa. Very great.
Hats off to the Japanese! I really think they were much more the "dark horse" than Denmark. Football is a cruel sport sometimes, respect to their fans for cleaning the stadium.
Thank you Croatia, you guys are really tough and cool! I saw fair play and skilled penalties. We, japanese, learned a lot from you guys. Good luck to your next match against Brazil. ✨ ✨
As a Japanese, I’m sad that we lost but it was a good game. Croatian team played really well, their playing was stable and passionate. We can’t see our team anymore from now on but I was happy to see many kindnesses and encouragement towards Japanese player/fans. Good luck on your next game❤
the Japanese are my favorite team at the championship, of course after Croatia, because I'm Croatian! A good match, a quality opponent, we played badly, but we still have character and love for our team, the people and the whole world. We, little Croatia, are again in the quarter-finals of the world championship. We are playing against Brazil and we will probably lose because they are a much stronger team. We are irrational and we will pray to God with all our hearts to beat Brazil even though it is "impossible". If Luka Modrić plays one of his best matches and if we beat Brazil, the atmosphere in Croatia will be the same as in 2018 when we won the silver. Joško Guardiol is our trump card bigger than Modrić in this championship.
Nooo noooo noooo nooooo I was really sad for Japan, because they are the heroes for us Arabs, heroes with their morals and respect, and with their great team that played unforgettable matches at all. Thank you Japan for the greatest fans football has ever seen, and thank you for this honorable level of Asian football 🥹😭😭😭🇸🇦🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦❤️❤️❤️🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
@telegrammethogden4496 Thank you very much. This is from your generosity. It is enough gift for me to watch your beautiful and wonderful content ❤️❤️☺️
Japan always lost round 16. I felt huge difference between Croatia and Japan not just about score. Culture? Experience? History? Don't know, but Japan needs some changes seriously. Good job Croatia wonderful teem!!
i mean the pen shootout gave you all the answers you need to know, they have heart, spirit, and a desire to win the game, that plus a good manager that knows what he wants. their only drawback was lack of experience in a big tourney like this and easily fell to the pressure, the same pressure we croats have gotten used to which is why we won.
It's the 2018 runner up ofc they do have more exp than you, especially on penality shootouts, Croatia is one of the two teams to have a 100% record from penalty shootouts - 3 out of 3 in wc's Japan on the other hand has only played one game that ended in a penalty shootout before this in the 2010 wc and they lost, so i kinda knew that when all came down to penalties it was gg for japan, hopefully its a leason learned and you guys become prolific penalty shoothers after this, cheer up!
Congratulations to Croatia from Japan!! Croatia was a very tough, experienced, well-organized team. I think Japan learned a lot from this game. Thank you!
As a Croatian I am proud of the Japanese team. I really wish we didn't have to play against them since I really enjoyed their matches against Germany and Spain. They made those matches very entertaining. See you in 4 years, 日本!
I was really sad to see that both my favourite teams have to play against each other. Well done Japan, I'd support you guys all the way through if Croatia lost. Supporters from Croatia and Japan have huge respect to each other! Much love from Croatia, well done and keep up the good work Japan! edit: and greetings to all of ya from Split. :)
@@thepinkonesoterrify623 i mean for me as a croat it isnt, but for japan ye, i cant think of any other game so far thats been this heart breaking for the losing team.
5:56 Incorrect. Roughly translated "To battle, to battle, for your own people", which is an old chant fans used for decades now. Croatian fans never disrespect their opponent, unless Croatia gets disrespected first. A good example of that would be the match vs Canada, prior to which the Canadian coach and especially their goalkeeper said some insulting stuff that pissed off a lot of people.
Croatia is the best team and they deserved to go through the quarterfinals. Japanese worked hard for it but they won by hearts, thanks to their fans who clean up after the match. 😀
If I have to write a story about this tournament, the main character would be Japan for sure. Desire to win, discipline on and off the pitch, amazing crowd that showed us their culture, taught us about proper behaviour, etc... Japanese friends, hold your heads high, you've deserved it, and from now on, you have one extra fan. ♥️🇯🇵
Regardless of the loss, I’m incredibly proud of what Japan has achieved. I walk away knowing that it was a miracle to even make it out of our group. But we did it and beat Spain and Germany. 🇯🇵🇯🇵 it’s all fine with me.
Like Cro Cop always say "People of Japan are perfect, great culture great people" Big respect from Croatia you did great job on this tournament, you have future in football
Japan: 126 millions people. Croatia: 4 millions people. And 4 player from Croatian National League. Livaja (Hajduk), Oršić, Livaković, Petković (Dinamo Zagreb). Livaja one goal, Oršić one goal for the bronze + assist againts Canada, Petković one goal vs Brasil. And Livaković a probably the best goalkeeper in Katar.
As a Canadian, I'm sad that Japan lost, but hell... that was a good match. They beat two of the biggest European teams from the beginning. They should be grateful for what they did. They'll go home and write history about it... or make an anime adaptation of it. This one will never forget.
@I'm a Croatian that watches your video, tumbs up for the videos. The game was close it could have gone either way but I think that luck was the factor. Croatia is for me the best but congrats to Japan for what they showed 🥳
I was hoping for Japan and Australia to go to the 1/4 finals but at least they went down swinging and gave us exciting nail biting matches. What a world cup.
As a Chinese fan I support our neighbor and they are the best team in Asia and truely deserved to be a world class team in future. Japanese team might win the world cup very soon, a team with stong desire and hunger, fight on the right track now. We are so jealous.
They're so nice and kind during the whole tournament they respect our culture and coming here only to play football.. regardless they're sophisticated and developed and their economy among best 5 in the world they stay humble they're not comming here to treat us arrogantly like 7 team in Europe... Big up to Japan and I wish one day they will winning the world cup
Maybe if Japan got “political” they’d be moving on? After all the crap given to Germany sorry, gonna have to use that same logic to Japan. Not enough heart for human rights, no advancement to the quarterfinals….
Don't really follow football but I was drawn in the stories that Japan and South Korea had throughout their runs in the tournament. Wasn't meant to be, but still admire the effort and heart of these teams and look forward to what these sides can do come next World Cup, wishing all the best leading up to it. Hats off to Croatia too, very strong out there.
Ironic thing is that japan actually played well against croatia but my god they really should spend the next 4 years just practicing their pen kicks lol. It's a shame too since this is probably the last world cup for some of the old timers like yoshida and nagatomo.
I am so sad!!! My heart breaks! They played a good even if they didn't make to 1/4... And I actually watching South Korea vs Brazil... I gonna cry again...
こうなったらクロアチアを優勝まで応援するぞ!! It was a great game with lots of ups and downs. I hope Croatia will keep winning till the last game. And also thank you to Qatar for hosting a wonderful world cup. See you all again in 4 years.
I've never been so torn with a favorite team's victory. I also love japan team so much and i feel like it's too soon. If only both teams can go through 😭
Japan had a good run but unfortunately they were not good against Croatia! Still Well Done Japan for showing a good fight up until the penalty shootout! They will go far in a World Cup 1 day!
I am from Croatia and Japan is my second favourite team, after Croatia of course. Sad to see Japan getting out in round of 16 again. Respect for Japan, but I dont think from what I saw through all pages and social media that Croatia got deserved respect because maybe people expected us to play much better, we have great result from last WC too. Idk but we are still by far the smallest country that has place in quarterfinals now. People here are proud, they want win against Brazil but are still humble because everybody knows that Brazil is such good team, possibly from what we have seen first candidate for taking this WC to be real. Good luck to Brazil on friday!
for the past four world cup japan always lost at round 16 i have prayed that they would break this curse and go quarters i really really wish but there is no doubt japan is the best team in Asia with the world cup performance they had. penalty isnt a fair way to end the game any way.
I think the vlogs would be even more interesting, if you show more of what‘s going on in the city and not only the game. Stuff from the fan festival, the old town part and other stuff going on with all the fans:)
Japan played really well yesterday, the luck factor was on Croatian side 🇭🇷 I feel like we lacked cooperation that Japan had when Maeda scored, but it is what it is, sometimes it’s really down to luck!
I’ve met so many wonderful Japanese people whilst out here, they had a special journey & I hope to one day visit the country to watch the J League! VAMOS NIPPON 🇯🇵

And 4 player from Croatian National League.
Livaja (Hajduk), Oršić, Livaković, Petković (Dinamo Zagreb).
Livaja one goal, Oršić one goal for the bronze + assist againts Canada, Petković one goal vs Brasil.
And Livaković a probably the best goalkeeper in Katar.
Japan is out of contention for the world cup, but they have already won the hearts of thousands.
God bless Japan.❤️❤️❤️
As a Canadian, I'm sad that Japan lost, but hell... that was a good match. They beat two of the biggest European teams from the beginning. They should be grateful for what they did. They'll go home and write history about it... or make an anime adaptation of it.
This one will never forget.
@I'm a Croatian that watches your video, tumbs up for the videos. The game was close it could have gone either way but I think that luck was the factor. Croatia is for me the best but congrats to Japan for what they showed 🥳
Nek jede govna četnička
Dečko je prosrpski orjentiran pogledaj mu malo videa
Who ever wins...it is deserved🙂👍
All the best from Cr🌞atia.....
I was hoping for Japan and Australia to go to the 1/4 finals but at least they went down swinging and gave us exciting nail biting matches. What a world cup.
As a Chinese fan I support our neighbor and they are the best team in Asia and truely deserved to be a world class team in future. Japanese team might win the world cup very soon, a team with stong desire and hunger, fight on the right track now. We are so jealous.
Thank you for supporting Japan!
Please come to Japan someday!
They're so nice and kind during the whole tournament they respect our culture and coming here only to play football.. regardless they're sophisticated and developed and their economy among best 5 in the world they stay humble they're not comming here to treat us arrogantly like 7 team in Europe... Big up to Japan and I wish one day they will winning the world cup
What do you mean 7 team in europe
Maybe if Japan got “political” they’d be moving on? After all the crap given to Germany sorry, gonna have to use that same logic to Japan. Not enough heart for human rights, no advancement to the quarterfinals….
I love Japanese people. 🇯🇵 But this time we won. 🥰🇭🇷
Don't really follow football but I was drawn in the stories that Japan and South Korea had throughout their runs in the tournament. Wasn't meant to be, but still admire the effort and heart of these teams and look forward to what these sides can do come next World Cup, wishing all the best leading up to it.
Hats off to Croatia too, very strong out there.
The beautiful game finally has the beautiful fans it deserves. All respect to Japanese fans. Arigato ❤.
respect and love from Croatia to Japan...you were amazing at this World Cup

Thank you for great game Japan, cheers from Croatia!
ブラジル戦がんばってね!!🇯🇵🤝🇭🇷
Ironic thing is that japan actually played well against croatia but my god they really should spend the next 4 years just practicing their pen kicks lol. It's a shame too since this is probably the last world cup for some of the old timers like yoshida and nagatomo.
I am so sad!!! My heart breaks! They played a good even if they didn't make to 1/4...
And I actually watching South Korea vs Brazil... I gonna cry again...
😂🤣😘
thank you for making these videos. makes me feel like i'm there in the stadium.
I knew that this will happen in Penalties .
That's why wanted them to stay in lead .
So sad for japan, so happy for croatia, fan of both, a bit sad they had to meet so early.
こうなったらクロアチアを優勝まで応援するぞ!!
It was a great game with lots of ups and downs. I hope Croatia will keep winning till the last game. And also thank you to Qatar for hosting a wonderful world cup. See you all again in 4 years.
Hope so too,but brazil,so doubt it
Good to see Theo and Vizak meeting up. Maybe a future premier league predictions guest?
日本を誇りに思う!!次のWorld Cupは絶対に勝つ!⚽️応援をありがとうございます
So funny how this dude is always rooting against Croatia
Japan plays with dignity and they return home with full of respect.
Bravo Japan.
クロアチアおめでとう!congratulations!
優勝目指して頑張ってください🇭🇷🏆
Arigato. Respect to you too!
I'm happy to support you as a Japanese .
ありがとう🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Well played Japan 👏👏It was a memorable game.
I've never been so torn with a favorite team's victory. I also love japan team so much and i feel like it's too soon. If only both teams can go through 😭
Got a kick out of seeing you meeting Hrvizak. I enjoy his videos.
Japan had a good run but unfortunately they were not good against Croatia! Still Well Done Japan for showing a good fight up until the penalty shootout! They will go far in a World Cup 1 day!
Bravoooo🇧🇬❤️🇭🇷
BRAVOOOO! GO CROATIA INTO BATTLE FOR THE GOLD FOR OUR PEOPLE! 🥰❤
I am from Croatia and Japan is my second favourite team, after Croatia of course. Sad to see Japan getting out in round of 16 again. Respect for Japan, but I dont think from what I saw through all pages and social media that Croatia got deserved respect because maybe people expected us to play much better, we have great result from last WC too. Idk but we are still by far the smallest country that has place in quarterfinals now. People here are proud, they want win against Brazil but are still humble because everybody knows that Brazil is such good team, possibly from what we have seen first candidate for taking this WC to be real. Good luck to Brazil on friday!
I'm so sad Japan lost :((( I was rooting for Japan so they would play against Brazil in the next match!
The whole world was rooting for Nippon
Thogden ! Eagerly waiting for today’s match Morocco vsSpain
Japan might have lost but will go the main highlight of the FIFA world cup 2022 history........defeated two big guns.
for the past four world cup japan always lost at round 16 i have prayed that they would break this curse and go quarters i really really wish but there is no doubt japan is the best team in Asia with the world cup performance they had. penalty isnt a fair way to end the game any way.
I think the vlogs would be even more interesting, if you show more of what‘s going on in the city and not only the game. Stuff from the fan festival, the old town part and other stuff going on with all the fans:)
Was really saaaad to see that 😢 really wanted them to win
Japan beat two World Cup winners in Spain and Germany while pushing Croatia to penalties.
They have so much to be proud of 🇯🇵
Yup
My family members literally predicted the outcome but I still had faith .good game to all the Japanese players.
Japan played really well yesterday, the luck factor was on Croatian side 🇭🇷 I feel like we lacked cooperation that Japan had when Maeda scored, but it is what it is, sometimes it’s really down to luck!
