Disco Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Nagatomo was awesome. He is the player of the match for me. Nakashima also made a couple of great saves. Nagatomo was class in the World Cup. He's been impressive in Serie A this season for Cesena. Very good fullback, one of Japan's best players. Aye so I've read. Be interesting to see if one of the big boys takes a punt on him in the summer. Probably be relatively cheap and he is still farily young. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Great defensive play by Australia on Japans goal David Carney, a left winger who can't get a game at Blackpool, is our only "left back", and it showed in that goal... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (Waits for oldtype to turn up claiming the goalscorer is Korean) It's a moment of great historical significance for the Zainichi (ethnic Koreans in Japan), to have one of their own not only called up to the Japanese national team but actually scoring the winning goal for them at the Asian Cup. I hope this somehow becomes a catalyst for more equitable treatment and social acceptance for them. I don't particularly hate him for being a Judas-cunt blood traitor either () since he tried on several occasions to get into our national setup and failed before getting called up for Japan despite being a third-generation Korean and never having lived here.

Been watching Nagatomo for ages, very impressive player with a ridiculous work rate. Watching him man-mark Jisung Park last year was probably the most manic, hyperactive football I've ever seen.
