Park Ji-seong, who, like all the media around the world, predicted Japan's victory over Germany and had good momentum, after checking Japan's best 11 list that day, "The lineup of half of the field players has changed. There seems to be a considerable risk in mercenary tactics. A draw or I will change it to Costa Rica's victory," raising interest by changing the victory prediction.
In addition, Lee Seung-woo drew attention by selecting Costa Rican goalkeeper Navas, who conceded 7 runs against Spain, as a key player.

The predictions of these two commissioners were correct.
Japan pursued possession soccer through pass play throughout the game, but the players did not match their hands and feet and showed anxiety.

Also, when Bae Seong-jae asked for the best player in the first half, Park Ji-seong said, "The best players in the first half are the spectators. Supporting this game hard is like an MVP."
Lee Seung-woo also expressed his regret in a joke, saying, "The referee who shortened the extra time is also an MVP."
