“The beginning of the match was good for us, but after that the energy of the American team gave them the opportunity to fight back, but we were able to answer every time they scored,” head coach Makato Ohashi said via the IFAF website.

This victory gave Japan its first chance to win a gold medal.

“I have to give Japan a lot of credit because they won both sides of the line,” U.S. head coach Mike Kelly said, according to the website. “Their defensive line was better than our offensive line, and their offensive line was better than our defensive line. And that’s what it came down to.

“I have a lot of respect for Japan and the kind of program they've put together. They've been practicing for months and we've had about five practices, so that's no excuse. Japan was a better team internally than us today, and that was the difference in the match.”

But that explanation didn't seem to resonate with fans on social media.

“How can the US SOCCER TEAM lose to Japan, especially BY 21 POINTS,” wrote one user on X. “I've never seen a game like this in my life, but fire everyone, fire everyone and improve the roster. We should win every game by 100 points.”

Someone else wrote: “How TF can this happen??”
