Stirfry, two things you don't have in common with Ishikawa:

i don't think i've ever shot a 9 on a par-4

And you've never qualified for The Open

England getting it is because of the time difference and European TV rights. 2019 will probably go to South Africa or a European country for the same reasons.

I know that Japan has more registered rugby players than most countries and they also have the stadia (from 2002) to host…

Which they'll do in 2019. It looks likely that one of the groups will be played in Singapore/HK to give the World Cup a pan-Asia feel. The u-20 world cup was a big hit in Japan but it will take time for them to get ready for this and a…

That's assuming they are good enough of course. Which they aren't yet. Perhaps they could play in the lower leagues of the European/Southern Hemisphere Leagues but all that is likely to teach them is how to get flattened.

My point was that 18,000 or so people made it to the game yesterday which is a pretty sizeable crowd for an under 20's game. (At the European Soccer U-21 championships they aren't getting crowds anywhere near that amount).

Maybe it's just me, but I think that was a pretty…

The Japanese, like many countries really, are only fair weather supporters.

I take it that you weren't at the final yesterday amongst a crowd of approximately 18,000 in the pouring rain? Lightweights indeed.

I'm not sure what is more tragic. That a loving couple decided they had no option but to take their own lives or some of the beliefs/comments of posters on here. Seriously people, you either need to leave Japan or try and develop a certain level of reality.

No-one should…
