Brazil Crash Out in the Round of 16 and Shiogai's 'Are They Still Strong?' Call Comes True
Brazil, who had beaten Japan, lost 1-2 to Norway in the Round of 16 for their worst World Cup finish since 2006. Japan forward Kento Shiogai — heavily criticized before the match for asking whether Brazil was 'still strong' — was suddenly flooded with 'you were right' apologies from Brazilians. Japanese netizens enjoyed the reversal while also turning the joke on their own team, which had already gone out.
