This is what it’s all about.
This is why people get in to sport. This is why people watch sport. Everyone wants to believe in fairytales.
Look at this face.
Rocked. Stunned.
A country just rose from the ashes and ripped up the script that they were handed at the entry door of a football stadium in Brighton.
And you could tell the effort that went in to such a feat.
It wasn’t just 80 minutes of hard work. For some, it was a lifetime dedicated to it. For others, they’ve lived and breathed it, believed it. And the supporters were there the whole way.
That’s why the celebrations after Japan’s 34-32 win over South Africa were so monumental. A group of men, supporters, neutrals and a whole country come together in joy.
These scenes will bring a tear to a glass eye and they’ll melt a cold heart.
Just brilliant.
