Japan defeats Spain 2-1 in the same stadium where they overcame Germany 2-1. And in similar fashion. Down 1-0 at halftime and rising to score two goals in the second half. The rising sun has never shone brighter, as the commentator said. So Japan topped Group F with 6 points. Spain second by virtue of their 7-0 demolition of Costa Rica. And Germany, for the second consecutive WC, does not emerge out of group play despite winning 4-2 against Costa Rica. That's why this game is so amazing because not even the Japanese predicted topping the group. And the fans. Ecstasy for Japanese fans and wailing for German fans.
