World Cup Soccer and Japan


At 4 am this morning Japan time, the Brazil - Japan match aired on TV. Japan needed to win this game by good margin for any chance to continue on in this World Cup. Everyone knows Brazil is one of the strongest teams in the world if not the strongest. Dramatic defense by Japanese Goalkeeper Kawaguchi kept the Brazilians at bay for a time. Then Japan surprised everyone by scoring the first goal of the match, (Alex passes to Tamada who then executes a powerful well-placed strike to the corner of the goal). But later the Brazilian strikers began storming the goal. Ronaldo got 2 of the next 4 points for the Brazilians to win 4 to 1. It was good action however. In soccer anything can happen.
