Japan team won Cameroon team in the World Cup of South Africa. It is said that the audience ratings were about 50% in Japan. The time of the game was from 11:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. in Japan. The ratings were amazing.
It is said that Cameroon team is an indomitable lion. Japan team was on the slide before the World Cup, and so I thought that Japan team would lose.
Surely Cameroon team was strong, but Japan team was calm. Strong teams don't always win. The next opponent is Holland team. Holland team is one of favorites, but nobody knows the result of the game.
Of course Japan team wants to win. Japan team should not get nervous, because the opponent is also same human beings.
considering all the fuss they made, they deserved to be an underdog in the first place. no teamwork no morale no elation... the worst and last WC for Henry. poor thing
8 years ago and 4 years ago when the WC was around the corner, Japanese media played it up a lot and people were more enthusiastic. But this time, it was very different, news programs even put emphasis on people's pessimistic reactions. I really sensed the great difference anyway. the main reason for this would probably be the fact that the team lost all the 4 preparation matches. however, they changed the tide. the media was forced to turn 180 degrees. you guys did it! I'm so proud of you guys. You guys are the men!! Keep it up guys!
I see something in Honda that Nakata used to have.
I can't tell exactly what it is, but he's got something and he's really something. Does anyone agree?
Yeah, he's always hungry for victory, but waht I meant was like he knows he's one of the top players and he's confident. Maybe that's because he's been playing against top players overseas. So he doesn't back off against strong opponents. Right after defeating Denmark, he said he wasn't satisfied yet. He's seriously going for the championship.
Nakata was a little more realistic, but these two guy have something in common, I think.
What is the thing they have? That is a power to break through, power to change. I don't know soccer very much.But this world cup,I got very much excited.They gave us something in our heart. I expect them to win the next game,too!
Just wanted to add my congratulations to the Japan team for their
3-1 victory over Denmark. A good match & a great result!
It was a great night out too! It was a 7.30pm kick-off time in
London, so perfect prime-time viewing! Saw the match on a big screen
at my local pub with a few other English customers & what seemed like
hundreds of Japanese!! We have a large Japanese community in this area
so there are always some, but, I've never experienced an evening like
that in there before! A great atmosphere & absolutely wonderful!
Can't wait for the game against Paraguay!...
By the way, just wondering; In Japan, did most people stay awake
all night to see the game? Or did You try to get some sleep first
& set alarms to wake you in the middle of the night!?
If you were too drunk to remember I'll understand...
The 3rd goal was amazing, Hats of to Özil and Müller, what teamplay. Thats also what England seems to soarly lack, playing as a team...
That the 1st goal was in was a disgrace for England, such things just dont happen in World Cups or Premier Leagues. That was a third league fun goal. >_<
#61 actually they stop it for a few seconds for the scorer to make his victory round and the keeper to loose some profanity. Thats the reason that theres always some minutes extra time.
As for Englands second goal...

Nuts... was the referee bagged for some kind of betting syndicate?
Now, in light of this article:

So, a short recap of what happened so far. Match the translation with the video. Congrats to the Dutch!
Gimme Hope Joachim (Basta)
The Africans have vuvuzelas
The English have a sense of humour
The Australians have a strong defence
But we have the prettiest goal
The Spanish have the most amazing refs
Ronaldo has a gorgeous body
David Beckham has a foot of steel
But Jogi Löw has the coolest hair-do
Gimme hope Joachim gimme hope Joachim
Gimme hope Joachim for the World Cup
Gimme hope Joachim gimme hope Joachim
Hope for Südafrika
The Koreans show emotions
The Mexicans have a hard shot
The Italians have a good goalie
But we have the biggest bus
The French are a tight-knit bunch
The English have a sex ban
The Argentinians train like mad in a jungle camp
Only Jogi makes Nutella sandwiches (sponsor of german team)
Gimme hope Joachim...
The Serbs are overachievers (over-flyers in german)
And things are running smoothly (like greased) for the USA
And the Dutch are STILL in it
But despite all that Jogi’s gonna get us the Cup
Gratulations to the spanish, a deserved win as they were the clearly better team.
For the finals... many firsts.
First WC victory for a european team outside europe (Spain or Netherlands). First Title for either Spain or the Netherlands. First WC victory in Africa. And last but not least first World Cup match ever between Spain and Netherlands. Not bad for the first competative match.
My heart says the Netherlands....but after the Spain / Germany game it's hard to go past Spain. I think that was one of the most beautiful displays of Football I have seen and against a team like Germany, that's something.
Finally Spain and Holland have got through to
the championships. I watched the match of Sapin and Germany
on TV (recording).
I thought that Germany team was big and skillful,
but Germany team could not attack Spain team easily,
because pressure of Spain team was stronger than Germany team.
I could watch the soccer game of the highest level
in the world, but both teams were very careful.
Especially action of Germany team was slow.
I can't understand the difference of ability
between Germany and Spain teams, but maybe
Germany team could feel the strength of Spain team.
Germany team exactly felt “the Wall of Spain”.
Holland team is similar to Germany team.
Holland team will have to defeat “the Wall of Spain”
by power, that is, action is not slow, and not too careful.
I don't believe the judgment of the octopus.
It is superstition, but an interesting game.
It is troublesome for the octopus.
By the way, if I write that Japan team won Cameroon team,
this sentence is not correct?
Defeat or beat is correct?
By my dectionary, I think that “win” is also correct.
Can I write “win” only about wars?
Should I write defeat or beat about games?
Please teach me the difference.
I like Sudako. So Spain loses and that guy with 8 legs makes a special dish.
Anyway I and this Spanish friend want to see the game, some kind of public veiwing in Shinjuku. Anybody has an idea which spot in Shinjuku?
I was in Shinjuku all night to see the match.
I was with Spanish friends, so it was something special.
There is a hige bar/restaurant called Universal City in front of Koma Gekijo.
This place was awsome. My recommendation.
There were more than 100 people and everyone was screaming throughout the match
dispite it was early morning.
After the match, a fight broke out to add more world cup spirit.
Then we walked towards the station and there were a dozen Spanish people celebrating.
Good for them.
