“We knew that what we were doing here could be about a little more than
just a football tournament. If winning this makes one person, someone
who lost something or someone or was hurt or damaged by the events that
touched our country, feel better for even one moment, then we have
really achieved a most special thing. If it makes everyone happy and
joyful and gives them a reason to cheer after such difficult times, then
we have been successful. Japan has been hurt and so many lives have
been affected. We can not change that but Japan is coming back and this
was our chance to represent our nation and show that we never stop
working. This is like a dream to us and we hope our country shares it
with us.”
