FIFA 회장이 일본을 절찬 「36년간에 가장 큰 충격」

http://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/newsid=1475998/index.html On Japan’s success I"ve been at FIFA for more than 36 years, so nothing can shock me any more. You occasionally get miracles, but miracles are very rare. In my opinion, it"s still a surprise that Japan made it through to the final, but when you review the development of the women"s game in Japan over the last few years, and how they’ve performed at recent FIFA tournaments, it"s obvious they’ve taken a significant step forward. The fact they"re through to the final conclusively proves their victory against overwhelming favourites Germany had nothing to do with luck. They are genuinely rising up the rankings.
