why did you think this before? As of the better discipline of Japan or what?

I think one reason is that the Japanese play for 90 minutes with discipline. The second reason is that the number 10 football player of the Germans (Mesut Ozil) was not invited to the tournament.

Mesut Ozil lol, is he even playing still? For sure a player that had magic times but is as lazy as my daughter in learning for school - he had skills like Ronaldo but never was motivated to train and improve his skills. However I was sad when the stepped back from national team.

I respectfully agree with all your comments on this subject.
