Out of nowhere. They took my friend quite aggressively on the arm and pushed him away from the crowd and told him to take it [the armband] off,” Kunkel told CNN, as he recounted details of the incident shortly after it happened.Apparently, it got so bad for the Israeli media that some of its reporters started to pretend they were from other countries, like Portugal, Germany and Ecuador. Others continued to try. A promotional poster for the Fancine Fantastic Film Festival, organized by the University of Malaga in southern Spain and held from November 14 to 22, prompted critical opinions across the South Korean internet.

I was jumping. I was screaming. I fell and hurt myself, but I don’t care,” Kayde, a 13-year-old Japanese fan, told Al Jazeera outside the stadium after the match ended. Takashi and his son Kayde [Hafsa Adil/Al Jazeera] Another Japan fan, Knichi, who has travelled to Qatar on his own, said he needed a moment to take in what had just occurred. Social media lit up with praise for Asano, who plays for the German Bundesliga club VfL Bochum, and Japan’s other goalscorer, Ritsu Doan, who also plays his club football in Germany with SC Freiburg.

Samurai spirit: Japan explodes with World Cup joy
Hmmmm- that’s what Japan did and came away with nothing. I think they’ll regret not settling for a point. Beneath headlines marking Japan’s “momentous” and “stunning” victory over the four-time World Cup winners, media reports heaped praise on coach Hajime Moriyasu – a member of the team whose dreams had been shattered in Doha 29 years earlier – whose five half-time substitutions proved to be a stroke of genius. In the World Cup, the Palestinians have also seen an opportunity to strengthen their Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS). While Ukraine and its supporters have managed to get FIFA and UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) to suspend the Russian national team and football clubs from competing in their tournaments over Russian aggression, the Palestinian efforts to get the same treatment for Israel over its occupation of Palestinian land have so far failed. Part of the reason for this false impression is the respect with which the manager has always treated the veterans who have lost their starting places. Moriyasu is careful with his words and always prefers to talk of “generational fusion” rather than transition. Four remaining players from 2018 – Eiji Kawashima, Yuto Nagatomo, Genki Haraguchi and Gaku Shibasaki – have played vital supporting roles without a word of complaint despite being dropped to the bench. Our dreams never came true.' These men helped build Qatar's World Cup, now they are struggling to survive

October 2021: Japan appoints three-time medallist Harada general manager for Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Ken Kawakita, who watched the match at home in Yokohama, said he had almost given up hope after Japan’s poor first half. “Spain looked better in every way, but Japan were a completely different team in the second half,” he said.This year’s edition of the World Cup is the first one ever to be held in an Arab country. Hence, it has been more accessible – geographically, logistically and culturally – to people from the region than any previous World Cup. It has also given people from the region space to gather in large numbers without the usual fear of repression. A female athlete will also be selected to carry the Japanese flag alongside Watabe at the Opening Ceremony, scheduled to take place on February 4 at the Beijing National Stadium, better known as the Bird's Nest. Moriyasu has been criticised a lot in the past, but he showed he can be a good strategist. I predict – I hope – that we can beat Costa Rica and draw against Spain. I’ll be cheering them on.” Amid a celebration held at a university in Spain in November, South Korean students protested the film festival’s promotional poster that featured a Japanese Rising Sun flag and demanded design changes.
