While England wept and wondered what they had done to deserve the cruelest of sporting fates after losing their Women’s World Cup semifinal 2-1 on a last-minute own goal, the ecstatic Japanese players did…whatever this is.

I don’t know what they’re doing, I don’t know why they’re doing it, but I do know that it’s transporting my mind into another dimension. One where nothing bad could ever happen, the trees are made of lollipops, and everyone is a winner.
