Congratulations To Japan

A great final last night, with Australia looking the more likely to score, but Japan's defence and especially their brilliant keeper (Kawashima) refusing to budge. Into extra time, then suddenly a cross from the left sees a Japanese player almost alone for once just inside the penalty area. As sweet a volley high into the corner of the net as you'll see in a long time. Cue the wild celebrations over here!

I'm surprised sigesige00 hasn't posted about this yet...

 

he's probably shacked up with his bendy love doll as we speak! :o

 

and how come another continent (namely the Aussies) gets to play in the Asian Cup ... typical FIFA BS almost on a par with UEFA letting the Israelis play in their tournaments

The aussie are always almost men. Thre fans must be as infuriated as scotland fans are. they're both similar for the amount of glorious failures they have. They kept just missin gout on the world cup. Probs coz they had to play a play off against south american teams though

 

Football is well behind rugby (union and league), cricket and Aussie rules in the priorities of Australian sports fans.

The player who scored Japan's winner against Australia is Lee Tadanari (李 忠成), former Korea Republic national and played for Korea Republic in the youth competition. But he chose Japan and became Japanese national.

The one thing I am disappointed is that he does not use correct Roman spelling -- his family name 李(리) must be Ri, in both systems used in Korea Republic and Korea DPR.

It is very regrettable that many Koreans do not use correct spelling. Other example is Park Ji-sung of Manchester United. His name should be Bak Ji-seong.

How's the apostrophe doing in Japan these days?
