FT: JPN-SWE 1-2
Sweden advance to meet Spain in the semis. Japan, who had been probably the best team in the tournament up to this point, bows out. It's tough to sustain a level of excellence over seven matches.
Japan didn't look as good as they did against Norway against Sweden. A deserved win for Sweden.
I didn't think Japan's penalty should have been given. I thought it was justice when they missed it.
And that shot that hit the crossbar, bounced off the Sweden goalkeeper and hit the post! just before Japan scored. I thought that had gone in at first.
