  "I think Japan should stop participating in any international competitions of "Judo" including Olympic games."

  Too bad, so sad. Japan was responsible for getting judo introduced as an Olympic sport in the 1964 Tokyo Games. If others learn to do something "Japanese" better than the Japanese do, that is just…

  "And the long day closed with yet more disappointment, as the Japanese women’s volleyball team lost to the United States 25-20, 20-25, 25-19, 25-21."

  I am proud of the Americans for defeating Japanese teams twice in soccer and now in volleyball. Keep up the good work!

  We have the Olympics underway, and the Russia/Georgia conflict escalating, yet an affair that washed-up politician John Edwards had is generating tons of responses.

  Whatever....

  Good bye John Edwards. < :-)

  The public said さよなら quite a while ago.

  If I remember correctly, the U.S. soccer team is missing one of its star players due to injury, and they still were able to defeat the Japanese.

  Tani takes judo bronze for Japan's 1st medal in Beijing

  When a Japanese judoka wins at judo, it is due to superior training and technique. When a Japanese judoka loses to a foreigner, if even the slightest wiff of controversy can be injected into the Japanese media explanation circus to…

  The U.S. mens and womens soccer teams defeated their Japanese counterparts in Beijing. Congratulations to the U.S.!

  Japan only has to wait four years for the London Games to possibly get another chance at an elusive victory over the Americans in Olympic soccer.

  "Meanwhile, NHK BS1 was showing something totally boring: men's air pistol. Actually, it was pretty interesting to watch, since one wrong move of the arm could mean all the difference between a medal and nothing."

  So is it boring or is it interesting?

  "The two employees of the company’s radiation management division were exposed to radiation when they entered the room to confirm the accident."

  Why not take appropriate precautionary measures first before entering the room?

  As a matter of fact, I clearly remember Troussier stating in Sydney in 2000 that the Japanese were tactically better than the Americans, but just could not capitalize on their opportunities.

  It seems as if nothing has changed with the U.S. defeating Japan again in 2008.

  "Japan created a lot more chances, but they couldn't finish."

  This is so often the case with Japan. If you cannot put the ball in the goal, no matter how nice you look creating opportunities, then you are just not any good. Period.

  Maybe you should give the U.S. more…
