Japan's path to the last 16 stage is now mired in controversy. The 51st minute goal which Ao Tanaka scored is the talking point on social media and debated hotly on television by soccer pundits and experts. The goal was initially disallowed because the ball seemed to have crossed the goal line. But the VAR, Fernando Guerrero of Mexico, after reviewing the play, overturned the call on the field.
