A painful sigh came from a local British journalist when England, the head of football, suffered a shocking defeat by Japan at Wembley Stadium, its home ground.

Japan's "Scar Digest" quoted Steve McKenzie, a local British reporter, as saying on the 7th, "The British reporter who watched the crushing defeat was stunned and criticized the terrible performance of the English national team that did nothing."

England, led by head coach Thomas Tuchel, lost 0-1 in the A-match warm-up match against Japan at Wembley Stadium in London on the 1st.

Japan was behind in both ball possession and shooting, but played practical soccer, and won by defending Kaoru Mitoma's winning goal in the middle of the first half. Japan, which beat Brazil 3-2 at home in October last year, even caught England at Wembley, where 90,000 spectators gathered, showing off its solid strength ahead of the 2026 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup finals.

With this, Japan won against seven of the eight countries that won the World Cup in history, excluding Italy.

Journalist McKenzie reportedly said: "England have really done nothing. It was just terrible and disappointing, and there was no sign of scoring throughout the game."

"Japan deserved to win and could have scored more goals," he said, acknowledging his opponent's performance. On the other hand, he said, "England was very lacklustre. He pointed out that he was not a threat at all in the attack because he did not have ace Harry Kane.

It also left a contrasting evaluation on the atmosphere of the site. "The Japanese fans were enthusiastic as if they were playing World Cup qualifiers, while the English fans were dead quiet," he said.

The media said, "In addition to Kane, England has a number of key resources such as Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka (Arsenals). However, the painful defeat at the soccer holy site has not stopped the UK's lamentation," he said.
