One of the worst games - Japan team

Japan unexpectedly moved on the Round 16.
However, their last game in the Group H, vs Poland was the most terrible game I have ever seen.

They needed to win the game to proceed to the Round 16, but they were 1 goal behind.
Another game in the Group H, Columbia vs. Senegal, Senegal was also 1 goal behind Columbia. In this point, Columbia was the 1st place and Senegal and Japan were... the points, the goal difference, and even scored goals were the same. The direct match was a draw. Japan exceeded on only the fair play points which is the number of yellow and red cards.

Then, Japan stopped to try to win. I can say Japan stopped playing soccer. They tried hard not to get a yellow card and just kicked a ball each other in the small space to buy time.
Buying time is often seen in football games, but I have never seen this bad. It continued about 10 minutes! For this 10 minutes, booing became bigger and bigger. I also never heard such big and long booing.
In the end, although the game wasn't over, one of the Poland players sit on the ground because Japan never crossed over a halfway line.

In the highest football event, I didn't want to see such a terrible scene, and it was played by Japan...

Shame on you, Japan!
