I don't see them outside of the world cup, but they always seem to give it 110%, sprint up and down the field the entire match to the point where all of them are struggling with cramps by the end, but never slacking off. I love their very positive vibe/energy they give off.
​
Didn't they lose during last championship precisely because of that? I think I remember them leading in score, but unlike tactical european teams, that would play defensively and wait for breaks, the japanese played offensively to the last minute and left holes in the defense for the opponent to turn the score around? I was absolutely hearthbroken for them.

They were incredibly naive vs Belgium. But arguably they just wanted to avoid Extra Time and thought they had a better chance to win in regulation. So idk.

Yup, they gambled and they almost got away with it.
