what a 3 minute 2nd half burst that from japan. i don't think the funds could really believe it, just like against germany in the 1st months they've been one nail down very much on the back foot. and then coming back with 2 goals in the 2nd off, at to win the game against all the odds, as you say. and as you can see, we're with some of those happy japanese funds. now, what are your emotions, did you, did you think you could do that? i can have it. it's of ne, then it's mca lisa. he's very kind of moma, i mean us. but of course that again, to think that the, like i say it's no harm. but to day after dawn jain game attended, it's so exciting. and so you look particularly happy, i must say, yeah. what did you think of the 1st off and will you amazed that it changed so much? cheer is odd that he's a heaven. i'm so happy. i love ha i. c very scary when is, i'm house for spain. well, you know, they will know up in the 1st thought they would dominate see, but it was a kind of benign dominance. and i would, there was signs of what was to c

that changes - >> japan today - >> even japan.ng a scares me is how bad -- how much did we really build up that needs to be worked off and is it worked off violently in a horrible situation or worked off over a number of years where things aren't as good as they would have been? >> joe, i think, unfortunately during the quantitative easing era we've been trained to think of things in v-shaped terms, it's over and then it -- you go through it and then it's over. >> rip off the band-aid. >> this is u-shaped because -- >> or an l. >> or an "l." >> if we make it worse, if policy makes it worse or if events make it worse, it could be an "l." i have a feeling it will be a u. by the token, think about the pandemic recession, nbr suggests it was a two-month recession we lost 20 million jobs and that recession lasted two months. the bear market associated with itlasted three weeks we've become accustomed to things being bad but getting better quickly. >> being propped up. >> propped up by the government and by the fed. >> that's right. and

hello, we've got more snow in the forecast the japan over the next couple of days. we got some wet weather, some cool weather for china as well to down towards the south. you see this trailing weather cistern there still produces some showers longest bells afraid that's nothing out of the way that a bit of snow on the northern flank of that for a tie. but the proper snow has up to was the korean peninsula and more so across certain northern and central parts of japan lever celsius, the top temperature there in tokyo, on saturday afternoon, similar temperature as we go on into sunday that see effect snow seeking a fair way south even bits and pieces of que she could see some of that wintry weather. by the time we do come to sunday cold enough in sol minus sick cells, your sparkling sunshine, dazzling blue skies. at this stage, cold enough in beijing as well at around minus one degrees celsius thickness. it's cold enough to for hong kong. truth me know, just 13 degrees celsius, but at least it should be dry. by this stage, it is largely dry the moment across a good pa

they played japan earlier. the krasier have the same kind of pedigree because they got to the final years ago. do we expect to see them going for this time? i don't think that will go to the final yet. to be honest, because 4 years ago, as you mentioned, they went to the final but they were peaking like this does look a mo, dredge even periods age. they're still great play as we know them a motor to still pull the strings at real madrid. but i don't think they have any chance to progress to the final today. japan, completely dominant for they should have been 2 or 3 goals. but like, as it always happens in football, if you don't score, then eventually you will concede. and that's what exactly what happened in the 2nd grade. really school with john. and then this was the 1st game of the work of the one, so extra time. and then eventually to penalty shoot out. and then can you believe it the japanese 1st 3 penalties all mrs. so like this, that was the very, very all the for racial progress to the next round. we f

japan dominated the game and it paid off during halftime. they found themselves in the right spot in front of the goal for the easy finish. croatia's equalizer came out of nowhere, 10 minutes into the second half. a pinpoint header for the final corner. 10 minutes later, almost got a cider head but was denied by the keeper. japan had a chance to win in extra time but the came went a penalty shootout. -- the game went to a penalty shooto. dominic became the man of the match, saving three penalties before mario scored they decided. a disappointing end to the world cup for japan, croatia go through to the quarterfinals. >> and from qatar dw sports correspondent max merrill told us what is ahead. >> likely heard in the report, japan where the dominant side for long stretches of the game. outside the stadium, 970 four, where croatia's opponent will be determined. the match between brazil and south korea is ongoing. but these last 16 match between croatia in japan was the first one where it was not really a clear favorite. both teams have had a st
