Japan has made history! Beating Spain for the first time at any level and done so in style. This victory was as deserved as it was unforeseen: Japan was sharper and tactically superior against a Spanish team full of decorated stars: if their finishing had been better they could have won by five or six goals.


 It would be premature to declare the Spanish dynasty to be in decline because these players have already proven they are a cut above most at their level, but we have certainly been given proof that if they have an off day.
