There are 2 things that bothered me :
1.
- not enough and not close enough contact between the German team members
- not enough support for the front line (the "storm line", how we usually call it here)
- the Germans were too much hesitating, imho. Far not aggressivve enough
2. The Janenese women shooting the ball outside of the field on every possible occation within the last minutes. There seemed to exist nothing anymore - in terms of play - than shooting the ball to the outside.
And as a third point, the Japanese women did fouls much more often (4 yellow cards, if I recall it correctly).
