Yup. Blocking and tackling. 1. Japan's offensive line play was superior. They consistently got a push and you could tell they are well coached. Some of those traps in the 4th are chef's kiss worthy. 2. Japan's defense rallied to the ball and I only counted one play of multiple missed tackles vs numerous on the part of USA.
