вЂњJapanвЂ™s battle is to become world champions, whereas ours is to qualify for world finals from the CONMEBOL zone.вЂќ That was Vinotinto coach Kenneth ZseremetaвЂ™s frank analysis ofВ the difference in the level and overall objectives of his side and the tournament winners. The surprise packages of Costa Rica 2014 were Venezuela, whose unexpected success in finishing fourth was based on the merits of a talented and physically powerful squad that gelled into an effective unit despite their relatively short preparations. Playing some patient and solid football, runners-up Spain showed how much their game is progressing and can take satisfaction from the fact that the only side that could beat them were the tournament winners. Not only were they the competitionвЂ™s highest scorers, they also conceded fewer goals than anyone. The unstoppable Japanese combined technical brilliance with tactical discipline, attracting admiration for their attacking power, defensive solidity and the speed of their play. The two sides were fitting finalists, having played the most skilful and entertaining football of the 16 participating nations, providing proof of just how rewarding long-term projects founded on solid, targeted development programmes can be. The Little NadeshikoВ saw off Spain in a superb final that set the seal on a memorable tournament. Japan took the honours at the FIFA U-17 WomenвЂ™s World Cup Costa Rica 2014, a 21-day competition that proved to be one big party for the host nation.
