	This is true in the era of JSL(Japan Soccer League).
	But now the J-League teams are for the people who love the team,
	and who love soccer.
	This is J-League policy.

	Although some team owners misunderstand that;-)

    Hello Y.T.,
    	Saw the highlights last night and it seems that in both matches,
    there was a youth match first, the goalies were below international 
    standard. Were they the first choice keepers or is this a general 
    problem in Japan? Or do you need to take up cricket?

	It was reported that Japan youth team was defeated by Australia
	youth team at 0-4, but I don't know the lineup of Japan, so
	I don't know who was the goalie.

	It was generally told that level of Japanese goalie is rather low,
	because most of them have to practice on the cray ground.

There players are mostly from England, Scotland.  Some who seem to be a
    foreigner is actually a local player because they were born in Hong
    Kong. 
    
         

    I like the following outstanding players,
    
    	kurosaki, filled with talent in shooting goal. I heard that he is
    		greatly admired by the Brazil star Zico.                   
        
    	Also the number 11, very skillful, which local team is he playing?

	Yes, he is very talented player, but he had few chance to play
	for national team.
        
>    	Also the number 11, very skillful, which local team is he playing? 

	His name is Maezono, playing for Yokohama Flugels(Kamo, Japan team
	manager, was manager of Flugels 'til last December). Maezono is also
	a captain of Japan U-22 team.

    I travelled to Japan in March last year.  During my trip near Shinjuku, I 
    try to find if I could go to the stadium to watch the J-league.  I
    found that there was a long queue of fans around the stadium.  The fans
    are either dressed in blue uniform or green uniform, or hold the blue
    or green flags.  I remember the green one is for the champion team 
    Verdy Kawasaki, but not quite remember the blue(light blue) one (Jubilo
    Iwata??).
    
    The match was started at 7:00 but I saw the fans at 3:00.  It surprised
    me.  I tried to find a booking office to buy a ticket, but I can't find
    one.
    
    Around 6:30 pm, I went to the entrance of the stadium, thousands of
    people rushed into the stadium, I see some men holding tickets so as to 
    try to re-sell them.  Is this legal?  How much is for a ticket in
    J.league.  (In Hong Kong, it's around HK$80 <--> JPY 1000).
                                                               
    I appreciate the atmosphere of the J.league, although I could not
    involve in it.  If I travel to Japan next time, I'll be sure to be an
    audience in the watch.

	I think you're right.

	Most of the ticket of J-League is sold out before the match.
	Verdy is most popular team in J-League, so it's difficult to
	get a ticket of the match.
    
>    people rushed into the stadium, I see some men holding tickets so as to

	No. It's illegal.

>    How much is for a ticket in

	I can't remember exactly, but I think the price of ticket is
	around between 1500 yen(HK$120) and 4500 yen(HK$360).

	Maybe it become easier to get a ticket than last year, so I think
	you can wacth the game next time.

	Some team supportors are very enthusiastic. You will be surprised
	if you watch a match of the team;-)

	Dynasty Cup 02/23/95

	Japan 2-1 China
	Fujita
	Kurosaki

	In the 1st half, Japan kept a ball and was attacking all the time,
	and got two goals easily. But 2nd half was different. China got
	a goal early in the 2nd half, and kept attacking without a break.
	But Matsunaga, Japan goalie stopped some dangerous shot, and China
	missed some clear chance, so the game was finished without another
	goal.

	S.Korea 3-2 Hong Kong

	Japan will fight with S.Korea at the Final again, but Maezono 
	cannot play for the game because he was booked two times.

    Japan 2-2 (5:4) Korea 
    
    The potential of Korea Olympic Players is so great and they've sent a
    warning message to Japan that Korea will be returning to the leadership
    in east Asia in the coming years.
    
    How're the Japan's Olympic Players?
    
    I am really concerned with the new generation of Japan national team. 
    To fight for the future, to fight for 96 Olympic game, 98 World Cup
    and needless to say, to win to be the host of the 2002 World Cup, Japan
    must show their potential and rich backup from their young players.
    
    I am looking forward to seeing Japan's Olympic football team in May.

	There are many talented young players in Japan, I think(Of course,
	Maezono is the most talented one).

	I think Japan U-22 team is not at all inferior to Korea team.
	You may also think so if you watched this game.

    I am pleased to hear that.
    
    So are the young players taking part in the J.League?  Or are they
    taking the important role in the team in J.League? 
    
    You know in Hong Kong, the young players, expecially those under 22,
    they can only play as a spare player in the team in the local league.

>    So are the young players taking part in the J.League?  Or are they

	Most of the U-22 members belong to J-League team.
	Followings are lineup of the match :

GK	Kawaguchi(Yokohama Marinos)

	He is a spare goalie, but regular goalie of Marinos is Matsunaga,
	regular goalie of national team.

DF	Nishizawa(Verdy Kawasaki)
	Uemura(Sanfrecce Hiroshima)
	Tanaka(Jubilo Iwata)

	They are not considered as regular player in there team, but
	will have more chance to play than ever.

MF	Hattori(Jubilo Iwata)

	Regular left back. Very fast and skillful player.

	Nakanishi(JEF United Ichihara)

	Maybe play as regular left back in this year.

	Hironaga(Verdy Kawasaki)

	Playing as center back in his team. Very talented player.

	Morioka(Gamba Osaka)

	Regular midfielder.

	Yamaguchi(Verdy Kawasaki)

	He is a very talented player. But Verdy has many talented midfielder,
	so he had few chance to play.

FW	Jo(JEF United Ichihara)

	Regular center forward. He got a 1st goal of last year;-)

	Ogura(Nagoya Grampus Eight)

	Regular forward. Maybe someone in Holland will know about him, 
	because he had played in Holland till last May.

>    You know in Hong Kong, the young players, expecially those under 22,

	We have few information about Hong Kong League.

>    How does Maezono compare to the great Kunishege Kamamoto?

	I know Kamamoto was a great player, but Maezono is diffrent
	kind of player.

	Kamamoto was a center forward and typical striker.
	Maezono is a midfielder and rather a chance-maker.

	Maezono's favorite player is Maradona(sp?), and plays like him.

    Katsuhiko,
    
    is it possible that you write the goalscorers to the results?
    But only if a German player or W. Rufer or Jorginho score a goal.
    
    That would be a great service for me.

    Is Arsene Wenger still the Nagoya's trainer ?
    Did he gave any hint about the catastrophic starting of Nagoya.
    
    Durix is a former Cannes's player. Does he performs well, despite 
    this debut ?
    
    Thanks a lot for your valuable infos.

>    Is Arsene Wenger still the Nagoya's trainer ?

	Of course, yes;-)

>    Did he gave any hint about the catastrophic starting of Nagoya.

	At the 2nd stage of last season, Nagoya Grampus was the lowest 
	position of the league. I think it needs more time for even Wenger
	to rebuild the team. 

>    Durix is a former Cannes's player. Does he performs well, despite

	I had not watched game of Grampus, so I don't know about his 
	performance. But as I wrote, Durix(sorry, I mistook spelling!)
	got a goal at the last game.

    How's Leonardo playing in Japan?
    
    I like this Brazil player's performance in the last World Cup.  He will
    be the future star player in Brazil.
    
    How many Brazil players in the team Kashima Antlers?  Who are they?
    
    I can only watch from the TV highlight of the match (VVerdy Kawasaki
    lost 0-1 last weekend) about the J-leagues.
    
    The major source of information is from this notes conference.
    
    Last year, when I went to Japan (exactly this period), I bought a
    J-League 94 magazinne which cost 680 yen.  I really hope to have one this 
    year.  Would anybody help?  What's the cost of postage for a magazine?
                

	Hey, I don't know how spell "Mr. Kiwi"'s name.
	Somebody tell me please!

I think Winton Rufer is the name you're after!!

>    How's Leonardo playing in Japan?

	He's now injured, but he will be back at the next game.
    
>    How many Brazil players in the team Kashima Antlers?  Who are they?

	Three Brazilian(Jorginho, Leonardo, Santos) are in the team.
	It is reported that Bebeto will join the team at June.
    
>    I can only watch from the TV highlight of the match (VVerdy Kawasaki
>    lost 0-1 last weekend) about the J-leagues.

	I think it is the game versus Reysol. The scorer is Muller,
	member of '86, '90, '94 WC Brazil team.

Katsuhiko

>I think Winton Rufer is the name you're after!!

	Thanks. If I mistook speeling of foreign player's name, please
	correct it.

	Excuse : When we Japanese see foreigner's name on newspaper or
	   	 magazine or TV, it is usually written in Japanese
		 character "Katakana".

Katsuhiko

	World Youth quarter final :

	Japan 1-2 Brazil
	Oku

	Japan showed good performance. But it needs more idea of attacking
	and little more luck to win.

	1st goal of this match was by Japan midfielder Oku. Oku shoot 
	directly clearing ball of corner kick, and the shot broke Brazil's
	goal net.
	2nd and 3rd goals were by Brazil midfielder(I can't remember his name).
	And 1st half finished without another goal.

	At the 2nd half Brazil looked tired and was very defensive, so Japan
	was attacking all the time. Japan got some clear chance, but there
	were 'wall' in front of Brazil's goal, most of shots was blocked.
	I think it was unlucky for Japan that ref did not gave penalty
	for charging by Brazil defender at 90 min.

	Japan cannot beat Brazil, but they showed bright future of Japanese
	football.

	Too many goals were scored, so I can't remember all of them...

	Yes, this news was reported again and again, but Antlers had 
	commented nothing officially. 

>    How do Kashima Antlers compare to the Yokohama Marinos regarding their
>    performance and potential this season?  

	This is very difficult question;-)
	I think Antlers' performance depends on three Brazilians, so if
	one or two of them are injured, Antlers will show less performance.

	Marinos also depends on Argentina players, but I think the difference
	between Argentina players and Japanese players is not so big.

>    Have they met this season?  What's the result?

	They met at 1st match;-) Marinos won at 4-3, winning goal was at
	1st half of extra time. That was great game!
    
>    I am glad that Japan Youth played well in the World Youth Cup.  What's

	I think this team was broken up, and some members will join Olympic
	team.

    	Is the Hillhouse? that scores quite regularly for Gamba Osaka
    possibly the Dutchman Hans Gillhaus (pronounced Hillhouse). The
    reasoning behind this thought being that there are quite a few Dutchmen
    out there (although nowhere near as many as Brazilians, of course) with
    Huistra and the team coach at Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Maybe Ton can tell us?
    Maybe nobody cares?

Yep Gillhaus, Pieter Huistra & John van Loen both at Sanfrecce, their
team coach is former Feyenoord player and technical manager Wim(pie) Jansen.

Also over there is Dido Havenaar, he's been there for years and even has
a Japanese passport, also the former coach of the national team was a
Dutch man Hans Ooft (he used to be manager at FC Utrecht)

	Thanks for correction. I know Hillhouse is not correct, but
	I have no way to know that. "Players from outside Japan" in 
	J-League home page has not been updated since last year;-<

	Yes, Dido is also a former GK coach of Japan national team.
	Dido belongs Jubilo Iwata, and manager of Iwata is Hans Ooft.
	And another Dutchman, Vannenburg and Paus are also belong Iwata.

	J-League takes about a month interval.

	During this interval, National team will participate two 
	international tournament, Kirin Cup and Wembley(sp?) Cup.

	At Kirin Cup, Japan will play with Scotland and Equador.
	At Wembley Cup(I don't know formal name of this tournament),
	Japan will play with Brazil, Sweden and England.

	And Olympic qualifying 1st round will be held at Thailand and Japan.

	Kirin Cup 03/21/95

	Japan 0-0 Scotland

	Very boring game. Maybe partly because of heavy rain, there was 
	no chance to win for Japan.

	Olympic qualifying 1st round 05/26/95 at Thailand

	Japan 5-0 Thailand
	Morioka

	Matsubara

	Perfect win for Japan. I don't think Japan showed their best, but
	it's enough to crash Thailand defence.

	I don't watch the game(this game will be broadcasted tonight), 
	so I don't know how Japan team play.

	Kirin Cup 05/28/95

	Japan 3-0 Equador
	Nakayama
	Miura
	Miura

	Japan ruled most of the game, and at 1st half Nakayama got a goal
	from corner kick. At 2nd half, ref gave two penalties to Japan,
	and Miura kicked both penalty shots. 

	Kirin Cup Result :
			Japan		Scotland	Equador
	1. Japan	X		0-0		3-0
	2. Scotland	0-0		X		2-1
	3. Equador	0-3		1-2		X

	Umbro Cup 06/03/95

	Japan 1-2 England
	Ihara	  Anderton
		  Platt

	I think Japan showed their best performance.
	I think this is practical 'deview' of Japan national team to Europe.

Katsuhiko

	Umbro Cup 06/06/95

	Japan 0-3 Brazil
		  fast left back(I can't remember his name;-)
		  Zinho
		  Zinho

	Three mistakes and three great shots made three goals. Japan had
	several clear chances, but they could not get any goal.

Roberto Carlos?

Japan were tonked by an outstanding team.

    There was talk on Teletext of Roberto Baggio maybe going to Japan as he
    is definately leaving Juventus....
    
    	Rick.

Spurs & QPR (!) are reportedly interested, as are Inter Milan and Dino Baggio
is trying to persuade Parma to get him.  The list of other clubs interested
goes on & on - AC Milan, Roma, Real Madris, Barca...

    Don't forget Baggio to Leeds... and then we can watch the deal fall
    through....

	Yes, it is reported that he will join Marinos(top of the league now),
	but I can hardly believe the news.

	Baggio is a enthusiastic believer of a religion in Japan, Souka-
	Gakkai, so we often hear a rumour like that.

Katsuhiko

	Umbro Cup 06/10/95

	Japan 2-2 Sweden
	Fujita    Anderson(?)
	Kurosaki  Anderson(?)

	Japan ruled most of the game, but could not win. Sweden lacked some
	important players, Brolin, Dahlin, Schwaltz...

	Why does  Kashima Antlers get so poor result in the recent matches?
What's happened? 

>	Why does  Kashima Antlers get so poor result in the recent matches?
>What's happened? 

	The main reason may be the lack of two Brazilians, Jorginho and
	Leonardo. They are selected as member of National team for 
	COPA AMERICA.

What happened to make Grampus-8 a decent team in the latter part of the season?
They'd hardly won a game before their late run.

	Japan lacked some important players(Maezono, Hattori, Hironaga,
	Ogura), but they ruled most of the game. After Japan leaded 3-0,
	and 4 or 5 member was changed, Russia got 2 goals.

	Friendly match :

	Japan 1-5 Brazil
	Fukuda	  own goal
		  Edimundo(sp?)
		  Leonardo
		  Sampaio
		  Sabio(sp?)

	Fukuda's gola is Japan's 1st goal of the matched against Brazil.
	7 members of Brazil are J-League players - Gilmar, Leonardo, Jorginho,
	Ronaldon(sp?), Sampaio, Dunga, Zinho.

	Universiade final 02/09/95 :

	Japan 2-0 Korea
	Mochizuki
	Ishimaru

	This is the first time for Japan to win a world-wide tournament.

    I'm glad to hear the news of Universiade championship won by Japan. 
    What's the team lineup?  Is there any "future star" in the team?

>    I'm glad to hear the news of Universiade championship won by Japan. 

	It is said that level of college soccer is rather low because
	most of talented players will go to J-League teams.

	So this victory proves improvement of Japanese football, I think.

>    What's the team lineup?  Is there any "future star" in the team?

	If you have web browser, please refer :
	http://universiade.fjct.fit.ac.jp/jp/kekka/syumoku/football.html

	Nishigaya and Sato, center back,  are also member of Olympic team.
	They will join J-League team next year.

	Mochizuki and Kurihara, skillful mid-fielder, will also join J-League 
	next year.

	Okitsu, co-leading scorer of this tournament, and Ueno, skillful
	attacker, will join J-League in the near future.

	Wow, it's difficult question!
	But many people says that it's Stojkovic. I also think so, but 
	other foreign players like Schillachi, Bisconti, Buchwald, Leonardo
	are as impressive as Stojkovic.

	Friendly match 10/24/95

	Japan 2-1 Saudi Arabia
	Nanami
	Miura

	Japan almost ruled the game, and made so many chances. But Japan got
	only two goals because Saudi was very deffensive, and Saudi goalie
	saved some dangerous shots.

	Saudi's goal was at 90min, and it's accidental goal, just a 
	deflection of free kick.

Katsuhiko

	Next year, Kyoto Purple Sanga and Fukuoka Blux will go to J-league
	from 2nd league(Japan Football League).

	So J-league will have 16 teams, and two stage system will be finished.

>	Next year, Kyoto Purple Sanga and Fukuoka Blux will go to J-league

Wonderful - rather more imaginative than the sort of names we dream up in 
Europe/US.

The chants must be woth hearing.

	J-League Championship 1st match 11/30/95

	Yokohama Marinos 1-0 Verdy Kawasaki
	Bisconti

	Marinos's goal was at 48min by ideal counter-attacking. 
	Verdy was trying to break Marinos' defence from center of the
	field, but there was a wall of Marinos' defender, so Verdy couldn't
	get any clear chance.

	They fight again at Dec 6.

	Marinos' goal was at 30min, by header of Ihara, captain of Marinos,
	from free kick. At the 2nd half Verdy was attacking all the time, 
	but they only kept a ball, and shoot against the 'tricolor' wall.

    	Carlsberg cup:  (for celebration of Chinese New Year)
    
    	Japan 5-0 Poland Highlight:
    
    	Poland had a better chance in the first 25 minutes of the match
    while one of the gold chance was the forward player make a shoot at the 
    bar.   However, after settling down, Japanese players showed their 
    team co-operation, speed and well-organized plays, made 2 goals within
    5 minutes,  (the first one by a long shoot by Yamaguchi, the second one
    by Takagi).
    
    	The rest of the match was almost hosted by Japan.
    
    
    

    Carlsberg Cup Final:
    
    	Sweden 			1-1 	Japan
    	    (penalty kick       5-4)
    
    	
    Japanese players were too conservative and passive in the first half.
    Sweden scored 1-0 early in the second half.  And then Japanese improved
    a lot, finally Omura, on receiving a good pass from Miura, brought
    Japan back to 1-1.  
    
    Japanese was in a better condition in the rest of the 2nd half but they
    could grasp the chance or even produce any chance.  
    
    Miura was, at all time, guarded by one to three defenders of the rival
    team.  
    
    Takagi lost a kick (the only one lost) during the final penalty kick.
    And Sweden won the championship.
    
    The overall performance of Japanese was unexpectedly good.  

	Friendly match :

	Japan Olympic Team 0-1 Equador National Team

	Japan ruled most of the game, but lost many chances.
	Equador got winning goal by counter-attacking in injury time
	of 2nd half.

	Xerox Super Cup :

	Nagoya Grampus Eight 2-0 Yokohama Marinos
	Okayama
	Fukuda

	Xerox Super Cup is a match between league champion(Marinos) and
	cup champion(Grampus).

	First goal was great. Long cross from Stoikovic to Hirano, Hirano
	return the ball in front of a goal, Fukuda return it by head, and
	finally Okayama kicked it directly in the net.

	Though Marinos was not so good, they made so many clear chance. 
	But they missed the chances again and again and again...

	Olympic qualifying 2nd round :

	Japan 1-1 Iraq
	Joh	  Ali(?)

	In 1st half Iraq was very defensive so Japan ruled the game but
	cannot get clear chance. At 20min Joh, Japan forward, pushed ball
	into Iraq's goal after Iraq goalie fumble Hironaga's 20 meter shot.

	And Japan kept attacking until 1st half end, but Joh and Matsubara,
	Japan forward, missed many many clear chances.

	In 2nd half Japan's defence became unstable because 2 defender(Tanaka
	and Suzuki) changed because of injurance, and Iraq midfielder Ali(?)
	got equalizing goal at about 50min.

	Japan will play with Oman tonight.

	Joh	  ?
		  ?

	Boring game. Japan players seemed to lack motivation and concentration.
	In 1st half Korea ruled the game, but they couldn't get a goal.
	Japan has few chances.

	All goals are made within 5 minutes. At 34min of 2nd half, Korea got
	1st goal by header of forward(I forgot his name) from free kick.
	Japan got equalizing goal one minute after the goal. This goal is
	impressive, it's by Joh's overhead shot. 
	And 2 minutes after the goal, ref gave penalty shot to Korea, 
	and this became finishing goal. It's rather unlucky judgement for
	Japan, but I think Korea deserved to win.

	Saudi Arabia 1-0 Iraq

	Saudi got 3rd ticket to Atlanta.

	Result of Kirin Cup -

	Yugoslavia 0-0 Mexico

	Japan 1-0 Yugoslavia
	Miura

	Yugoslavia player's motivation and condidtion seemed to be not
	good, but I think Japan is deserved to win because they showed 
	better performance than Yugo. Japan will fight with Mexico at 
	May 29.

Katsuhiko	

	Japan won Kirin Cup!

	Result of Kirin Cup -

	Japan 3-2 Mexico
	Morishima
	Miura
	Souma

	Mexico leaded 2-0 till 35min. Japan kept attacking and attacking
	from middle of 1st half to middle of 2nd half, and got 1st goal
	at 35min, equalizing goal at 50min.

	After the equalizing goal, Japan players seemed to be tired, but
	did not allowed no more goal to Mexico. Japan got finishing goal
	at 80min. Japan got free kick, and Souma, Japan left back, passed
	quickly to Kurosaki, Kurosaki returned directly, and Souma put
	ball into Mexico goal.

	I think Japan showed international class performance at this match.

	FIFA decided that Japan and Korea will co-host World Cup 2002.

	I think co-hosting is OK, but FIFA's decision-making process is
	illegal and unclear. I feel they make light of Japan and Korea.

Katsuhiko

Next problem:  Are both countries allowed to play in the WC ?

Heribert

>Next problem:  Are both countries allowed to play in the WC ?

	I think they must be. But I guess other Asian countries will
	complain about that.

Katsuhiko

    Who will qualify as hosts and who will stage the final?
    
    This smacks of a cock up to me.
    
    
    CHARLEY

The story here is that the decision was made because it was felt that both 
Korea and Japan had staked so much on winning (money, plans, prestige etc) that 
neither could afford to lose the fight. (I suppose it could easily be 16-20 
years before the next Asian World Cup). 

FIFA said it was not possible - there could only be one winner. But UEFA 
fought for the sharing option, so there wouldn't be a loser.

It'll be interesting to see how they work it all out.

    I read rumors this morning stating that each side is (indirectly) 
    accusing the other one to have bribed some FIFA officials....
    The Korean press mentioned that they could bring "proofs" quite soon.
    
    If true, we'll get fun quite soon...

    There was an interview in the Daily Mail yesterday with the Swedish
    bloke (forget his name) who represents Europe in such matters and was
    affiliated with the the Korean bid. Basically he said he'd been offered 
    gold watches, cars, free travel etc. but all he accepted was the odd
    bottle of scotch here and there.

	It is reported officially that Leonardo will leave Kashima Antlers
	and join Paris SG at July.

	Friendly match -

	Japan Olympic team 1-2 Ghana Olympic team

	Ghana overwhelmed Japan in offence, but they seemed to have problem 
	with finishing and defence. Japan leaded 1-0 in first half, but lost 
	2 goals till middle of 2nd half. Japan had some chance to equalize,
	but they also seemed to have problem with finishing.

Sky News reported this morning that Diego Maradona is expected to sign
for an unnamed Japanese club in a deal worth around 14 Million (Sterling).

>Sky News reported this morning that Diego Maradona is expected to sign

	I think the club may be Tosu Futures, which belongs JFL(2nd league).

	Hugo, younger brother of Diego, is now playing for Avispa Fukuoka.
	And Hugo used to play for Futures.

Katsuhiko

	I can't believe what I saw...

	Olympic Result Group D :

	Japan 1-0 Brazil
	Itoh

	Brazil was attacking and attacking and attacking, but Japan
	young players showed their best performance in defence, and 
	allowed no goal to Brazil. Of course Japan was lucky side at
	this match, but this is great instance for Japanese football.

Katsuhiko

	Olympic Result Group D :

	Japan 0-2 Nigeria

	Japan seemed to be better at offence than the match vs Brazil,
	but cannot got no goal. Defence was also good till 81min, but
	after Tanaka, libero of Japan, got out because of injurance, 
	Japan allowed rather unlucky 2 goals.

	All of country in this group has posibility to go to tournament.
	Even if Japan win the match vs Hungary, Japan may not be able to
	go to tournament.

Katsuhiko

	It seems that none of this conference reader is interested in
	Olympic;-)

	Olympic Result Group D :

	Japan 3-2 Hungary
	Maezono
	Uemura
	Maezono

	Japan was leaded 1-2 till 90min, but won by 2(!)goals in injury time.

	They won 2 matches, but cannot go to tournament because of goal
	difference. Brazil and Nigeria was qualified, and both of them
	won quater-final. 

	Most of Olympic teams had over-23 players, but Japan had none. 
	I think they showed bright future of Japan football. I want to
	say thank you to Japan Olympic members for their incredible performance.

Katsuhiko

	Friendly match :

	Japan 5-3 Uruguay
	Maezono
	Miura
	Takagi
	Miura
	Okano

	Uruguay's member are mainly younger players, so I can't say Japan
	is better than Uruguay. But it's certain that Japan become  not easy
	to beat for any countries.

	I'm not sure what "turn up" means(give up?), but the score is really
	10-0. Scorer is Takagi(x3), Morishima(x3), Miura(x2), Souma, Nanami.
