I'm more worried about the Japanese ones here, actually - they've been known to resort to terrorist actions on numerous occasions - and I would not put more terrorism out of the question for this Aleph mob. Just hope there are spooks closely following every individual member.

He won't be missed by anyone in the entire world - that is for sure and certain. He will be remembered as a tyrant who had a hatred of the Korean people, locking away, torturing and executing large numbers of them. Awful, awful man - just like his father - and I suspect his son will be a clone.

No mention of the money being thrown at Okada san - but as we all know there is some mega-coin in that China joint now. I suspect he is getting much more from this Chinese club than in his stint as Japan manager. More and more Euro stars headed to China - Anelka is on a plane there already and apparently Drogba is weighing up a massive offer. I hope Okada does really well.

@ ITS ME - I'm pretty certain no-one here would ever stoop to the depravity of torturing and bashing a little boy to death. I pray that's the case, anyway. So turning oneself in is a moot point.

@ It's Me - I seriously hope you are not suggesting the possibility that this scumbag is not a coward? There is no bigger coward in all of Japan than this trash. Turning yourself in after beating a defenceless little child to death means absolutely nothing.

No doubt they think it will lessen their sentence, along with the usual talk of what he did being "regrettable", "unfortunate" etc. And it may just do that. I can only hope that this maggot is executed, however unfortunately the beating to death of a child is not considered a grave enough crime here. Shoot a politician over a business grudge - sure, execute him - torture and kill a child - 20 years then back out.
Rest in Peace little angel - never again to see that evil monster who tormented you for so long.

Wow - crazy stuff. Of all world cultures, I would say the Chinese and Japanese care for and respect their elders more than most. In my opinion, old fogies are often valued much more than kids here, unfortunately! Those crazies are talkin' smack again. Nothing a bit of good ol' waterboarding wouldn't sort out...

A real gulf in class between Asia's best team - and Europe's finest. Barca barely got out of second gear yet won easily. I'm certain they would happily give away their win, however, if Villa was fine again. Absolute disaster for the club - I'm sure most of their fans back in Spain are unimpressed they had to travel to the far east for a relatively meaningless tournament and lose one of their key players. They could now potentially risk some silverware in Europe as a result.
I reckon Santos will win the final - the Barca players will be told not to go hard in tackles and risk losing a Messi or an Adriano.

@ 602miko - it is easy for us to say that, having not lived through war. I never understood when I was a kid why my grand-dad had a hatred and illogical contempt for Germans. Sure - he had fought them and some of his mates been kllled - but I thought he was living in the past and should have gotten over it by now. He even refused to call a dog a "German" Shepherd! Years later, I understood that I couldn't judge his views as I had not walked in his shoes all those years ago. You can't just erase history - memories are surprisingly long.

@ tmarie - mostly agree. But I reckon in all these East Asian nations, there will always exist a core of extreme-rightists wanting to stir and provoke their (remarkably) similar counterparts across the sea/border. Even 500 years from now probably!

Good luck to ya - hope you win! In my mind Kyoto beats Tokyo hands down in just about everything though ;-)

Are you prepared to go down to Hiroshima and Nagasaki next August and tell the locals the same thing? "It's a long time ago WW2, people, get over it, it's erased from history...". Try it and see what reception you get! LOL

The Kashiwa lads played well - but true class prevailed in the end. Top teams put away those chances like Kashiwa had at the end. That Neymar played real good - only a matter of time before he hits the big time in Europe. Would be nice to see that Al-Sad mob give Barca a real fright tonight in the other Semi.

If the Japanese media (and others posting here) are going to continue using the ridiculous euphemism "comfort women" in this issue - then they should also use the term "comfort children" - because, make no mistake, many of those used for sex by the Japanese military were children. Fact.

Ha ha! Good luck with that - those shrine festival things are controlled by the yakuza, they participate in the floats, food-selling - the lot. I'm sure there are very dodgy people in any photo involving a festival in Japan! Why not just paint one of those black bars over his eyes? lol

@ SouthSakai - I see where you are coming from. It's cool your dad helped sort things out. But don't you think it may have been better to stand up for yourself? Even if these boys were big brutes, you could have fought dirty, which is what my old man always taught me to do against bulliers. Throw rocks, punch to the throat, eye-gouge, kick to the 'nads, he told me...anything - the point being, dads are not always going to be there to protect you at every moment.

What is an elderly bloke doing anyway as the father of an elementary school kid? Bit old, ne? I hope the monster is locked up - for at least a decade.
