【Japanese Podcast】How Japanese Soccer Quietly Got So Strong?

At 5 a.m., alone, I watched Japan draw 2-2 with the Netherlands — and it hit me how far this team has come. In this episode, I trace how Japan went from failing to even qualify for the World Cup to beating Brazil, England, Germany and Spain — and why. By the end, you'll see how thirty years of small, steady steps can transform almost anything, and pick up natural Japanese along the way. 【My Instagram for Japanese Learning】 https://www.instagram.com/yosuke_teac... 【Onikanji】https://onikanji.com/?ref=yosuketeach...
