The argument that the game needs to be "the same everywhere" is just frankly ridiculmous. Most games of footie happen without linesmen, even refs. Take tennis for example. How on earth do people down the local parks manage without ball cameras. Beats me. It's beyond belief that such an argument is used.

For some reason they're having a right go at Chinese tourists, as if they are bad for the economy. In the same breath as saying how much they spend in Japan...

Sensitive soul aren't you? I'm just tired, so I was yawning.

There's a programme on at the moment called Nihon ga abunai. There's talking about so many things that are dangerous for Japan. Apparently, Chinese people coming to buy land and property in Japan is dangerous for Japan. The talent that are in the studio showing amazement and shock at all the startling facts were astounded to hear that foreigners coming to Japan to buy property means that a Japanese person couldn't buy that property --- and the price may go up. Well, I'm shocked anyway. It's a 3 hour special, on now if you're interested. The thing they are discussing no

Penalties would be dramatic tonight.

Or more fags and booze and late nights. Wish I had seen that. Did it convince you then Mr Wiggles?

Just don't call it "beer". Unless you want to, lots of people do.

That is it.

Japan looking the better team, with only 28% possesion?! I so don't want crappy defensive teams to win games. I want to see attack, creativity. This is an offence to the game.

Lets all laugh at Germany

Klose off for 2 very soft yellows ( but whos complaining, this time ) and Serbia score

And the chance of upsets. Remember Burnley vs United... wasn't that the first or second game?

Quote: It's official - this is the most boring World Cup in history. A sweeping statement, I know, but according to statistics for the first round of group matches, there have been fewer goals scored at this stage of the competition than at any point in the last 80 years. And it's not as if there are just one or two goals in it. Mexico 1986, the closest to South Africa 2010 in terms of goals scored, managed seven more after the first 16 games. Now, I know that exciting football is not all about goals. Wednesday produced the sort of shock which makes this such a wonderful event, favourite

Oh yes, the highlight of the Cup so far!!!

Nani out of the Portugal team with an injury.

Not sure yet but the only thing I am going to book before the winter starts is 5-6 days in Niseko. Looking around now.

Try some of them on the listings here. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/hotel/niseko-hokkaido-accommodation.html I have contacted Mushroom recently and they seemed to be ok for any date I asked.

Tulio did look fairly decent. Quote: I thought Japan defended great, but they didn't create much. Nothing changed there then.

No pics?

I only watched the first half and they were indeed pretty bad. Out in the first rounds with form like that.

5-0 tonight I reckon. I reckon Jose will end up at Real. And then after that, Man United.

Way to go with the crappy Softbank. Wonder if this will be a limited time Softbank only and then open up to others kind of arrangement.
