Brasil x Japan. It's one of the world's oddest cross-cultural mixes if stereotypes are to be believed - the quiet, private and reserved Japanese versus the loud, chatty, and famously flamboyant Brazilians. And if there's one man who can bear witness to this , i believe there is no one but the Brazilian football legend Zico, one of the greatest players never to win a world cup, and nowadays coach of the Japanese national team.
Early in the morning.. once i stepped out into the street, the passerby start asking if i support Japan or Brasil... All yellow-skin, small eyes races looks like Japanese to them.
Well... cant you see i m wearing Brasil Jersey???!!!
On the way back to the apartment, our taxi stopped in front of a pub.. Some apparently drunked Brasilian who might have start drinking from eleven am got so excited and start blowing the big trumpet at us! The situation got out of control, and we quickly ran towards home soonafter we alighted. We cant help but to wonder, waht of Japan won and brasil kena kick out?? I think i had a valid reason not to go to work tmr due to my safety consequences.
well... same as last game.. Jimmy fixed us salad, penne and some side dishes. Ed, Pauline and I enjoyed the food as well as the game. Hidetoshi Nakata still looks good. However, he looks even better in the magazine and on the red carpet of celebrity's party. I think he belongs to the show ring. Asia's Beckham.
Japan's World cup adventure is finally over. They were beaten 4-1 by Brazil which leaves them bottom of Group F table. Personally, i think Japan played very well in the first half of today's game especially the early lead with a fantastic goal but Brazil always looked dangerous all night and when they equalised on the struck of half time, I sensed the second half will be tough. And so it turned out. But I think the Japanese players gave their all and especially goalkeeper Kawaguchi tonight made some fantastic saves.
=( No excuse for not going to work tmr.
