Oh, The Drama: The Ten-Man Japanese Late Show

Japan looked down and out, down 2-1 and a man halfway through the second half, the clear momentum shifting to the hosts. And then Qatar met Shinji Kagawa.

Well, theyd already met him since he technically nodded in Japans first goal too, even if it was going in anyway.

One of Europes brightest new stars, absolute terror of the Bundesliga, scored the first goal while Japan was down a man, then created the winner in the 90th minute while, sending Japan into the semifinal to face the winner of South Korea and Iran. Arguably the game of the tournament thus far, and perhaps even 2011.
