They got beat by Ghana, for the second straight Cup. No, it doesn't seem weird
now.

I will say, however, after watching last Thursday's Japan/Denmark match: That
was the finest display of international football I've ever seen from the Samurai
Blue, period. *That* seems weird. For one game, they were brilliant. I wish they
could play with that much discipline all the time.
