  Actually most other "respected" news agencies place more emphasis on "total medals".

  Yeah right. Like the Yomiuri Shimbun.

  Americans are more interested with being competitive and near the top, not necessarily numero uno

  Ah,ha,ha ! Aah, you crack me up man.

  China, population of 1.3 billion: 39 gold medals.

  USA, population of 300 million: 23 gold medals.

  UK, population of 60 million: 13 gold medals.

  You do the math..

  Follow Great Britain. Half the population of Japan (and half the tv sponsorship money) and 12 golds so far with more to come (Japan only has 8 golds). And can anyone tell me why the Japanese papers count the medals table by total medals and not by gold medals ?…

  A feeling I can only describe as good as the time I had a 3-way with 2 Japanese hotties a few years back. Only filthy gaijin who have been in Japan for a few years like myself can explain this happiness...

  Good to see that cultural ambassadors such as yourself…

  Hamaguchi is a dirty wrestler!!! NHK showed a close up of her cramming 4 fingers up the American oppenents exhaust pipe during the match. That is probably the reason why she received such an unfriendly rebuff to her post match handshake. Not only that but she was cautioned for trying…

  Just great to see the Japan womens softball team outperforming the Japan mens all-star baseball team, plus the Japan womens soccer team also outperform the Japan mens prima donna soccer team. It shows that Japanese women are more talented than the men !

  But this article is not about Hoshino and his previous history, but the poor umpiring decision and the fine handed out after allowing Hoshino to manage after the argument ? We all know about Hoshino's record, but this is about him having every right to argue a poor call in…

  just another sore loser

  Rubbish. The call was a rubbish call. I watched the game live (not really a fan of Japan) and it was not a strike swing, it was clearly checked in time. The plate umpire then clearly allowed Hoshino to send the pinch hitter on after supposedly…

  banana,

  Is this true about Mr A's yak ranking ? It would explain why the family are quoted as being polite about him and would excuse why they are deflecting criticism away from him.
