I really enjoyed watching Japan play. They played beautifully and seemed to really want it. Shame they got bounced.

Like in basketball, tall players really have the advantage, especially on corner kicks and other contested high balls. Columbia in particular often just made a short pass with their corner kick opportunities, rather than launching it high towards the goal, where those blonde English trees invariably headed the ball out harmlessly.
