Considering all that has happened in Japan in 2011, and the amount of international support and goodwill we have received....let alone the economic dire straits right now... this is nothing but sheer stupidity!! May their path be blocked by icebergs...all the way!

In parliament Ichikawa looks like a total dimwit and Minshuto just continue to roll out these deadbeats into cabinet posts. My beat is on Ichikawa resigning by Friday....

Yes there are far better things to be protesting about, and guys you can vote with your remote controls on this!
Is it my imagination or does this not look like a (possibly homeless) rent-a-crowd that the Uyoku have mustered for the protest?

{I must wonder why is n korea allowed to participate in the championship though? They don't fulfil the most basic requirements of human rights and dignity. I would refuse to play them...} ebisen, I hear you! South Africa were boycotted and unable to participate in most world sports until apartheid was abolished. I don't see any reason why North Korea (with its track record for evil) is welcome on the world's sporting stage to treat their opponents in this pathetic way and turn a game into a communist love-in!!

I agree with you Johannes! I also think the exchange rates in 2010-2011 have not helped Australian in the least.

Can't disagree here! The Cherries looked like a bunch of ring-ins. Few other sports would allow this. Rugby seems to be struggling to make an imprint world-wide these days...
