Episode description

I’ve never been keen on soccer but this World Cup was special. It all started from the match where Japan beat Germany unexpectedly. I got excited and thought I might as well watch all the games from then on. It was amazing that Japan advanced beyond the group stage in spite of having to play against Germany and Spain. I always felt Japanese soccer was too conservative, but in this World Cup, I could see they were more aggressive. Although they were unable to advance to the quarter-finals, I was very proud of them. After that, I rooted for Argentina because of Messi. My husband told me how incredible he is, and why it's crucial for him to win this tournament. The final match was literally nail-biting! I felt like I was riding a rollercoaster! Ultimately, Argentina won for the first time in 36 years in the last World Cup for Messi. I can't imagine what it’s like to play with the hope of an entire country on your shoulders. I was very moved, and admire his composure. What made this World Cup even more special was Keisuke Honda, who was a special commentator for this World Cup. His comments were unique and easy to understand, yet professional. I'm a little sad that it's over now, but I'm already looking forward to the next World Cup!⚽️ ————————— 🗣Do you study English? Join our club! And why not read your monologue.
