Japanese Celebrate Going to 2nd Round with World Cup Win Against Denmark

Japanese celebrate going to 2nd Round with World Cup Win against Denmark

Japan vs Denmark for the chance to proceed to the 2nd Round of the World Cup. Both had beat Cameroon and both had lost to Netherlands so it was anyone's game and a lot was riding on it.

I went to Shibuya on the last train and found fans celebrating more than two hours before the game to get themselves pysched up for the coming match.

I caught the first part of the game not too mention Japan's first goal on a frizzy muted TV in the notorious meat-market club Gaspanic before moving on to a little under-the-tracks bar that was jam-packed spilling out up to the road. I could hardly see the game but the atmosphere was definitely lively especially when Japan scored its second goal before half-time. After half I went to the Irish bar chain Dubliner's where I could actually see the game for a change. There Denmark scored goal but a few minutes later Japan scored it's third and final goal winning the game and going to the 2nd Round. At this point win or lose the next game, it doesn't really matter. It's just enough to get through especially when many people's expectations were so low.

Shibuya Crossing was a madhouse. The police had blocked off the main diagonal crossing for fear the street would be choked with partiers and traffic would never get through. I ended my night or rather early morning with a beer in a small bar before getting some shut-eye.

Next time: Paraquay!

@MrHiberto at this point i don't think it matters so much. Given the low expectations going into the World Cup, just getting to the 2nd Round is an accomplish and if they lose they have nothing to be ashamed about.

It's England and Germany that are sweating bullets about one of them not getting to the Quarter Finals
