@fabiandicosta Su cara es una mezcla de cansancio, tristeza y aceptación... Pero no de rendición.
No se cómo reaccionaría en un momento así pero admiro mucho el espíritu de quienes están día y noche sacando escombros con las manos con la esperanza de salvar una vida más.

"Victory is only from Allah, the Almighty, the All Wise."
Qur'an 3:126
🚨🇯🇵 Thierry Henry Praises Ueda, Suzuki, Kubo and Japan’s Golden Generation
“One thing I always admire in football is when a team leaves a tournament with more respect than they had when they arrived. That is exactly what Japan have done. They may be out, but they have earned the admiration of the football world because they played with courage, discipline and a clear identity from the first match to the last.”
“Ayase Ueda deserves enormous praise. Every time Japan needed someone to lead the line, he was there. His movement stretched defences, his work rate never dropped, and his goals gave Japan belief throughout the tournament. He looked like a striker who enjoyed carrying responsibility.”
“Then you look at Zion Suzuki. Goalkeepers can define tournaments, and he certainly did. Against Brazil he produced save after save, keeping Japan alive against one of the strongest attacks in world football. He showed maturity beyond his years and proved he belongs on the biggest stage.”
“Daichi Kamada quietly had an outstanding World Cup. He linked the midfield and attack beautifully, found space between the lines and made Japan’s football flow. Players like him often don’t receive the headlines, but coaches love footballers who make everyone around them better.”
“Takefusa Kubo reminded everyone why he is one of Asia’s brightest talents. Whenever Japan needed creativity, he wanted the ball. He carried defenders, created space and never stopped trying to make something happen. That’s the mentality of a top player.”
“I also have to mention Wataru Endo, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kaishu Sano. Endo gave this team leadership and calmness. Tomiyasu marshalled the defence with authority whenever he was on the pitch. And Sano’s goal against Brazil will be remembered for a long time because it showed Japan never feared the occasion.”
*“This wasn’t a one-man story. It was a team story. That’s why Japan became one of the most admired sides at this World Cup. They didn’t rely on superstars—they relied on trust, organisation and togetherness. Sometimes you don’t need to lift the trophy to inspire millions. Japan have done exactly that.”

🚨🇩🇪 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗗: Germany become the FIRST team ever that don't reach the Round of 16 in THREE consecutive World Cups after winning the World Cup:
🏆 2014: Won the World Cup
❌ 2018: Out in the Group Stage
❌ 2022: Out in the Group Stage
❌ 2026: Out in the Round of 32
🚨🎙️Roy keane :You've got to give Hajime Moriyasu a lot of credit. The work he's done with this Japan team has been outstanding. They've built a side with a clear identity, they know exactly how they want to play, and they had the courage to stick to it against one of the best teams in the world.
Japan should be proud. They didn't come here just to make up the numbers—they came to compete. They showed the world their intensity, discipline, and quality on the ball. That's the sign of a proper football team.
I thought Suzuki was excellent today. Tomiyasu was a leader at the back, calm under pressure and always putting his body on the line. Kaishu Sano covered every blade of grass, worked tirelessly, and never stopped fighting. Those three were absolutely outstanding.
In the end, football can be cruel. Sometimes luck just isn't on your side. One moment, one bounce, one bit of quality from the opposition can decide everything. That's exactly what happened against Brazil.
But when I look at this Japan team, I don't think about the result. I think about how much I enjoyed watching them. They played the game the right way, with honesty, commitment, and belief. They earned the respect of football fans around the world, and that's something they should all be proud of.
🚨🇯🇵 Zlatan Ibrahimović: “The Blue Samurai Inspired Millions”
“People will remember that Brazil won. I will remember that Japan made Brazil earn every second of that victory. That is the difference. The biggest teams expect smaller nations to survive. Japan came to compete.”
“For me, they were the Leicester City of this World Cup. Nobody expected them to make this kind of noise. Nobody expected them to play with this much courage, discipline and belief. Yet every match they gave the world a reason to watch them. They defended together, attacked without fear, and even against Brazil they refused to hide. They took the lead, they fought for every ball, and they forced one of football’s greatest nations to dig deep until the very end.”
“That is why football is beautiful. Sometimes the biggest story is not about who lifts the trophy, but about who changes the tournament. Japan changed this World Cup. Every opponent respected them. Every neutral supported them. Every fan admired them.”
“It is sad they couldn’t finish the story. It reminds me of Leicester in 2016—not because they were expected to win everything, but because they made people believe that miracles can happen when a team plays for each other instead of for themselves. Japan leave with no shame. They leave with pride, respect, and the knowledge that they inspired millions. Sometimes that is a victory no scoreboard can take away.”
