Asian champions

Congratulations, Japan, well done!

Just after the victory, Nagatomo emailed a footballer/newscaster saying "We have a long way to go" ("Mada Mada Desu").

Keep that actively negative attitude and the rest will be history.

And make Nagamoto a forward.

KEEP that positive attitude and the rest is history, and a great future for Japanese football congrats.

Great goal to win it also thought the aussie captain Lucas Neill was classy shaking all the japanese players hands striaght after the final whistle.Guess he will retire now but hi was a class act

Sour grapes in this house! Have the day off so I am allowed to sulk today. Well done to the Japanese - tactical switching by Zaccheroni a master stroke.

That was quite a spectacular goal. And well deserved; for most of the time, the boys in blue dominated the game.

kawashima was their best player on the day. great goal, their best chance to score, and they did. well done. heard one commentator say excitedly during the game, 'nice samurai!' ha.

CONGRATULATIONS to Japan!!
