Today we faced the team from Japan.
Small, petite ladies who shouldn't be underestimated. Japan is ranked 2nd in the World Rankings and is part of the sports elite. They were vice-champions in the last World Cup.
If you see them play, you'll understand why.
Japan quickly took a 3-0 lead and only then did we get into the game. We fought back to 5-5 and unfortunately went into halftime with a score of 5-8. At the beginning of the second half, we dominated and reached 8-9. But from here, the Japanese really stepped up their game and the final score was 10-15 in favor of Japan.
These women are damn fast, agile, and have an incredibly high jumping power.
After the game, we watched the men in their last group game against Canada (9-15).
They will be playing live stream at 10 AM German time.
For us, it's time to rest and gather strength for tomorrow's matches against the world rank 1 - the USA and the Philippines.
