Realist, please stop the crap you're spreading here! Here we go again, the same old song..."the dropping of the bombs saved Japan"...blablablabla. BS!!
Before they were dropped Japan was already negotiating a surrender AND the Americans knew about this. Still they dropped them. Not to "save" Japan, but to show it's muscles to the USSR. They were not dropped because of the unwillingness of Japan. Truman's very own words. Too bad over 200.000 people died because America needed to show off.

".....its probably the closest thing japan will get to a "world title" in the forseeable future"
I agree with you. Feel better now?

"Japan did not do this because Japan does not want Korea get much much angry in the final."
Japan did not do this because they are adults. Unlike the childish behavior of the Koreans.

"but I know you have a better chance than Korea and Japan"
And a better chance than Holland and Belgium, since Blatter said combined hosts for the World Cup are out if the question. We all know what you seem to know, Smith.

"Matsuzaka isn't at all that great; the Koreans hit a good number of his pitches, and most of the outs were in the field after they hit the ball, and usually from absurd in-field or foul pop-ups. I don't remember him getting more than a few strike outs, and he let in a couple runs in the bottom of the first."
Still Japan won 14 to 2.
"...be in for a shocker in the near future... hopefully from SKorea...."
Moderator: Readers, please discuss this game on the relevant thread.

I just wonder, why is everyone so much against Ishihara!! He's NOT against foreigners. He's against foreigners who misbehave!! And too bad there are too many here of that last category. Seems everyone complaining about him fits the shoe. He's honest. He speaks out what others only think. Nothing to do with racism!! That's what YOU only love to make of it.

Smithinjapan: I see those white gloves every day too. I know what you're talking about.
Something about those regions. Don't forget other major sports events. The world cup soccer will be held in Brazil ( with Rio as its center ) in 2014, two years before the 2016 Olympics. The next Olympics will be in Europe ( London ). You think they will be held in Europe again 4 years later in Madrid? Next year Vancouver holds the winter Olympics. Two years later the summer Olympics again in North America? Same goes for Tokyo....like I mentioned before. Maybe or maybe not these facts will influence the IOC's decision later this year.

By the way, about that "O" you are all mesmerized by but in the meanwhile pretending to know it so well. Snow is white and will always stay white, that's why some symbols will look like an "O"...;)

Smithy, honestly speaking, I also doubt Tokyo well get it. Not because of your arguments, because sorry to say, your arguments are wide off the mark. Tokyo is a big city, like Chicago, Madrid and Rio. For example, they all have problems with transportation. But this time I dare to bet that Tokyo's transportation system is by far the best in the world. I think Tokyo won't get it is because the IOC has to make a decision 1 year after Beijing. I truly really hope the Olympics will come here and I'm sure Tokyo can make it a great event. I understand nigelboy's argumentation. It really sounds like you hate Japan, because you are so very sure of yourself that Tokyo won't get. Again, stick to the facts. And don't let guesses, bets and suppositions influence your view on reality.

Smithinjapan says: "...Japan did indeed get the highest score on the APPLICATION!! hahaha... if that's seriously all you guys have to base an Olympic win on...."
Beijing also got the highest score on just the application. And guess what Smith.....they got the 2008 Olympics. You love to take Osaka as an example, right? Well, me too. Osaka got the lowest score on the application. And guess again......right!!
Indeed, so far that's all we have. The future will tell us if we get more. But saying that Tokyo's money is their only strong point and the rest is 100% against them is flat out lying!! Or ranting!!

"in fact, money is the ONLY strong point Japan has in its favour. All the rest are 100% against them"
The most hilarious post in ages!! Smith...not for me, but for yourself....get your facts straight. Because you're making yourself more and more rediculous by posting such nonsense.
Not Tokyo's but Chicago's strong point is money. And, you could have guessed ( that's your srong point by the way ) that the rest is in favour of Tokyo. That's why the IOC gave Tokyo the highest evaluation score. You could have known this if you checked the link I provided you on your request. Did you check it already?

smithinjapan, you couldn't do me a greater pleasure! In other words....you asked for it. Download the report of the IOC Candidature acceptance working group here:
http://multimedia.olympic.org/pdf/enreport1317.pdf
Or to make it more understandable....from the four applicant cities Tokyo got the highest evaluation score.
Chicago 7.0 Madrid 8.1 Rio de Janeiro 6.4 Tokyo 8.3
As you see...I DO have links.
My turn now......do you have any more guesses? Or are you convinced now?

-The "O" is for "zero chance of a successful Olympic hosting bid."-
Strange, the IOC gave Tokyo the best score of the all.
Try again, Nessie?
