体坛英语资讯:Japan coach Okada to quit after World Cup

Takeshi Okada said his work is done as the Japanese national coach after his team fell short of his goal of reaching the World Cup semifinals.

Japan was beaten in a penalty shootout by Paraguay on Tuesday after their second-round match ended 0-0 after extra time.

Asked about his future as Japan coach after the game, Okada said "I don't think I have anything left to do now."

This was the first time Japan had reached the knockout stage of a World Cup on foreign soil. Japan also reached the second round when it co-hosted the 2002 tournament.
