    Home advantage (whole crowd, country, and favor of ref). S.Korea went up to semi using that advantage to the most extend.

    What ending, with Belgium scoring on the counter after a corner kick for Japan in the last second. 3:2 Belgium.

    Japan played well and really had enough chances to take this game even after it became 2:2. On the other end, Belgium did force a double save from Japan's keeper on two headers. But Japan really deserved better.

    The better team won.

    Kudos to Japan for playing their style of game and attacking with honor but it just was not enough.
