Viva Japan, Viva Asia :-)

Japan won the women soccer world cup today. Back to 1990's when I was a kid, I remember Iranian national TV buying some Japaneses animations(That series was built in 1986) which encouraged us to play soccer more & more ... Japaneses are known for the ones with plan, well structured enough to implement the plan and also word super hard for it. Here it is 20 years after that. What have they achieved ?

  • Becoming one of the best Asian men soccer team(Always in top three)
  • Winning Asian cups 3 times
  • Attending in soccer world cup both in women and men level
  • Holding the men soccer world cup ; together with South korea; for the first time in Asia
  • And now standing on top of the soccer world, at women soccer
I can imagine the day that Japanese men soccer players will also stand there and wave to us, as there has been a very long history in experience and investment in men soccer, so it takes more time for Japanese management, planning and hard work to beat them all, but at the end they will :-)

I like it when hard work fruits and I say congratulation both to Japan and Asia, as this victory brings both soccer worlds to a new level :-)
