Japan's advance to the quarterfinals of the group league

While Korean soccer has failed to advance to the Olympic finals for the first time in 40 years, Japan, its "eternal enemy," is displaying extraordinary performance. Japan advanced to the quarterfinals by winning the entire group league in men's soccer at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The opponent team will meet Spain on the road to the semifinals. Korean soccer fans are in a position to simply watch Japan's bid for an Olympic medal.

Japan won 1-0 in the final match against Israel in Group D of the men's football group league at the Paris Olympics at Stade de la Bozoire in Nantes, France, on the 30th. Japan, which early confirmed its advance to the quarterfinals with a victory over Mali on the 27th, won three consecutive games and won all Group D matches.

Unlike Korean men's soccer, which failed to advance to the Olympics for the 10th time in a row, Japan showed off its potential as a real winner. Japan won the match by scoring the finishing goal from Hosoya Mao at the 46th minute of the second half, just before the game ended. Japan, which advanced to the quarterfinals as the No. 1 player in its group, will face Spain, which is ranking second in its group C.

The men's soccer quarterfinals at the Olympics have been decided. In Group A, France, the "host country," defeated New Zealand 3-0 on the day to advance to the quarterfinals with all three wins. The U.S. also advanced to the tournament by securing a 3-0 victory over Guinea. In Group B, Morocco, which defeated Iraq 3-0, ranked first in the group, and Argentina, which recorded 2-1 defeat, ranked second in the group to advance to the quarterfinals. In Group C, Egypt, which defeated Spain 2-1, secured the top spot in the group, and Spain is second. In Group D, Paraguay, which defeated Mali 1-0 after Japan, took the last train to the quarterfinals.

The quarterfinals of men's soccer will be held from March 2. Starting with the Morocco-U.S. showdown, Japan-Spain, Egypt-Paraguay, and France-Argentina will stage a fierce battle to advance to the semifinals. 메이저놀이터
