5. Absolutely. Only 11 fouls and 2 yellows in 64 minutes.
Sideline-to-sideline play - full competition in the midfield - great blocking and tackling - superb footwork on both sides - excellent sense of team dynamics (Japan is really good at this) - wonderful match!!
I personally think it's a natural sport for them and, like ski-jumping, I think we'll see some innovations that amplify their strengths in coming years.
12. Yep. It's like they get a bigger thrill from an assist.

They really do look happier when celebrating a team-mate's performance than their own. Ronaldinho shows that a LOT.
I get that feeling in a much smaller way when playing catch with a Frisbee. It's a pastime where the fun is in keeping my throws where my partner can make graceful or athletic catches within their abilities. Maybe it's that which I'm projecting when I watch them pass the ball ... and getting pleasure from hitting their team-mate in-stride.
