This is different. It is an international competition, and the first of it's kind. I think a decent amount of goodwill might be generated from an honest admission of the mistake. What if Japan fails to make the 3rd round solely on this call. You think they'll come back? Or might they fold up their pride and refuse to play in what they likely think is an inherently biased competition?
