“Japan Will Beat You And…” Naomi Osaka Shares Fan’s Hilarious Tweet Following FIFA WC Win Over Germany

Football fans around the world witnessed a jaw-dropping match in the FIFA World Cup 2022, where Japan stunned Germany 2-1 to register a win in their opening Group E clash.

Leading 1-0 after a penalty goal by Ilkay Gundogan, Germany could not capitalise on new opportunities as Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano came from behind and struck two goals for Japan in the second-half. After the win, reactions started pouring in for Japan from all over the world as fans were left stunned with the Asian side’s miraculous win.

Japanese Tennis star Naomi Osaka took to Instagram and shared a quirky tweet from a fan after Japan defeated Germany in the FIFA World Cup 2022 clash. Before the match, a fan of Team Japan had written, “Japan will beat you and clean up the whole place, leaving the crime scene with no evidence.”

Osaka shared the fan’s post and captioned it with “Lol” and added some crying emojis to it.

Coming to the match, the German team covered their mouths for the team photo before the match in a powerful protest against FIFA’s decision to ban rainbow-themed armbands.

Hansi Flick’s team came to Qatar under huge pressure to avoid the disaster of 2018, when they failed to make it out of the group stage in Russia as holders. They took the lead through a first-half penalty from Ilkay Gundogan and should have been out of sight after creating a host of chances.

But Japan hung on and equalised through substitute Ritsu Doan in the 75th minute. Takuma Asano then completed a remarkable turnaround eight minutes later, smashing the ball home to send the boisterous Japanese fans wild.

Germany’s World Cup future is now on the line, with games to come in Group E against Spain and Costa Rica. Japan are eyeing a place in the knockout round after a dramatic comeback that scarcely looked possible at the end of the first half.
