Flight director confirms that: >>Japan hasn't won a single World Cup match outside Japan as yet. [...] > >Well, they have now as the media will proceed to tell us over and over >again. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL The first half performance was a complete snooze-fest -- the only thing that kept me awake, up until Honda's goal, was the blasted vuvuzelas (aside: I keep reading that as if it's an anagram for "zulu vulvas"; does this make me a pervert?). The second half was much more lively, if nothing else but for the fact that Cameroon's entire strategy for the final ten minutes was "hoof a long ball into the Japan penalty area and pray that Eto'o can get under it; either Tulio clears it or someone makes a harrowing shot that is saved by Kawashima; rinse, repeat". And like you said, the morning papers treated it like we'd defeated the alien invaders in _Independence Day_, but hey -- can you really blame them? For a nation that *likes* the game so much, there's been so little to cheer for. I'm happy just to avoid looking like the poor Greeks out there. >If Japan can hold Denmark Possibly. But I won't hold my breath. >and the Netherlands to draws Flatly stated: Impossible. The Dutch are favorites to win the entire tournament. >it *might* have a chance of going to the next stage. It would be a dream come true to most fans. We can only wait and see. >Again, I only care about the mathematics behind it. Interleague baseball is >still winding down. Yeah. The Dragons are under .500. Interleague can't end soon enough, in my mind... -- The 2-Belo [the2beloATmsdDOTbiglobeDOTneDOTjp] alt.flame alt.fan.karl-malden.nose alt.alien.vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk meow a brimful of asha on a 45 meow meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow "If you can't be good, be colorful." -- Pete Conrad
