Japan lost the game by the penalty shootout. In the World Cup, I don't cheer for Japan, but I was shocked. They played much better than we expected. Deciding winner by the penalty shootout is TOO cruel. That reminds me the game England vs. Portugal in the in the quarter finals in the previous World Cup. England lost by the penalty shootout after 120-minute draining duel.

Considering a defeated team, especially a person who missed a shot, I feel pain in my chest. I hope a winner and a loser are decided in a game, and not by the penalty shootout. I don't want to see such a sad and cruel scene anymore.
