The actual irl Japanese football NT is somehow genuinely ass whenever it comes to any sort of tournament-styled competition that isn't AFCslop (and even then, South Koreans usually walked them before the late 90s). This is the same nation which got invited to the first ever World Cup for free yet couldn't make it until 1998. This is the same NT which got assblasted by fucking bomboclat Jamaicans on their debut. This is the same country which couldn't beat a thirdworld shit-tier brapxico during the last stage of the CoVidlympics in their home turf.
