Best. Punch. Ever.
Just what the hell happened? More, after the breakie~
Despite their unjust defeat on a penalty shootout at the World Cup 2010 which knocked them before having a chance in the quarterfinals, the Blue Samurai's have prevailed this time in the Asian Cup.
After drawing South Korea with 2-2 goals which lead to a 3-0 on penalties, Japan is going to the Asian Cup Finals to for the fourth time to face Australia.
Ain't a football fan, but I do like Honda's (aka Emperor) stylish play.
But the real saviour of the day was their keeper, Kawashima Eiji. During the penalty shootout, he didn't let even 1 of the 4 attempts pass his hands. Come to think of it, he's improved from his previous official shootout with Paraguay in the World Cup which ended brutally with a 5-3 defeat.
2ch gives Kawashima a few more titles to carry around as the pride of the nation;
So you can imagine the ecstasy when they made it to the finals with a 3-0 penalty score.
Or better yet, I'll show it to you;
S.Korea celebrating too early after drawing 2-2 at the last minute.
The anguish of the Korean keeper...
...further invigorates the loyal supporters of the samurais

For those of you who switched off your TV/stream sites, you missed a glorious punch on live television.
2ch still debates whether it was on purpose but a GIF was presented and blew away all doubts;
No idea who's the one getting punched but it seems he's on Japan's team. Anyone knows who he is?
