China's win sees Japan women eliminated from Rio soccer

Undated, Mar 7 (Reuters) Japan women's soccer team, the former world champions, have failed to qualify for the Rio Olympics despite still having two matches left to play in the Asian qualifiers.
China eliminated them with their 1-0 win over South Korea today. Their win meant Japan, who have one point, cannot catch up with their Asian rivals on 10 points or Australia on nine points with two matches left against Vietnam and North Korea.
"Nadeshiko" Japan won the 2011 Women's World Cup, finished runner-up at the 2012 Summer Games while also reaching the final at last year's World Cup against the United States. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe hailed them as role models for the country.
