In connection with Japan's national soccer team catching up after twice conceding a lead to the higher-ranked Netherlands and drawing 2-2 in the opening match of the FIFA World Cup North America tournament, a topic titled "Is Japan's national soccer team's public declaration of World Cup victory 'daydreaming'?" was raised on the Chinese news portal site Jinri Toutiao and attracted attention.

On the soccer discussion program "Dongqiu Dahui," regarding Japan's national team's public declaration of World Cup victory, Huang Jianxiang, a renowned Chinese sports commentator and TV host, expressed the view that it is "not a dream" for them to not only reach the top 4 but even win the championship within three tournaments, including the current one.

On the other hand, Wang Chuqi, a former Chinese professional soccer player and now a video streamer and businessman, said that if Japan's national team continues to develop at its current pace, they would likely win the championship with a high probability in 20, 30, or 40 years, but regarding the current tournament, he said it is indeed "daydreaming."

Regarding this, comments from Chinese soccer fans included: "The Netherlands is a strong team ranked 8th in the world. Japan showed its ability to the world by catching up after twice conceding a lead to the Netherlands, which is 10 ranks higher. Moreover, they did so while missing several key players due to injury." "Since neither Germany, Spain, nor the Netherlands could defeat Japan in the World Cup, I don't think Japan winning the championship is a dream either." "At least it's not 0% probability. They are acquiring the ability to win the championship." "There's a possibility of reaching the top 4, but I don't think they'll win the championship." "I think it's higher than the probability of China qualifying for the World Cup."
