“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.”
