kickboard: I KNOW it was mentioned on Yahoo! Did you miss the part where I was keeping track of the game on there? So, needless to say there would be articles, and the next morning I DID see one headline. Beyond that though, I said, "here is not a single word about it on this site, and not much of a peep in the general media, either".
Now, compare that with even the women's 2-0 loss to North Korea, which is still listed as one of the most popular threads (or was yesterday, anyway). Do you see what I'm saying? It was a dismal appearance by the 'mighty' Samurai, so it's hardly getting any coverage. It was not an actual question, it was rhetorical.

I think the north Korean loss was entirely down to interference from the Great US Oppressor and their Running dog lackeys, Japan.....

smith, I don't think so. I checked the top ten sports articles ranking on yahoo, and 4 out of 10 articles are about the game. http://news.yahoo.co.jp/ranking/comment/rate?ty=t&c=c_spo

smithinjapan: Having watched that game last night, the Japanese got outplayed for most of the match and were lucky the Koreans weren't putting a lot more pressure than they probably should have. Can't wait for the aftermath of the Chinese match.

Yubaru: Oh, I know that very well. Followed the game on Yahoo! sports, checking in from time to time until it ended. My point was there is not a single word about it on this site, and not much of a peep in the general media, either.

The Japanese men's team fought to a 1-1 with SK last night.

This will be good. Japan is desperate for a win.

No word about how the Samurai Blue are out? I guess with China beating NK SK is the group winner so far.
