Are you watching the World Cup Soccer now? I really like watching it and the Japanese team is fairly strong this season.
First, they beat the Cameroons 1-0 and then, they got beaten by The Netherlands 1-0, actually I watched the game at a sports bar in Melbourne and many Japanese gathered there to support the Japanese team! It was very vibrant atmosphere! Though they lost the game, we paid honor to their great performance!! In the third game, they got a victory over Denmark 3-1, thank God!!!
Since they gained 6 winning points, they reached the quarter-finals. I was very happy to hear the news because they had lost every game and took lots of criticism 4 years ago.
My favorite player is Shunsuke Nakamura. He used to be a main player. However, because of his bad condition, he is rarely given the chance to participate in the game and this may be the last world cup for him…. I am dying to watch him playing on the pitch!!
I also supported the Aussie team. Despite them getting 4 winning points, they couldn't reach the quarter-finals because Germany and Ghana, who are in the same group, beat them. As a matter of fact, Ghana got the same number of winning points as Australia but they just outweighed them in total points…what a pity!
