  Have to disagree with you both here- the Japanese were more skilful, but they were simply out-muscled by the teutonic titans. And their 'keeper was awful.

  What's to stop a Japanese simply buying a Java text book for 8000 yen and learning to program by him/herself?

  And it's incredibly ignorant and arrogant to suggest that foreigners study IT using pirated software.

  I watched the Japan v Germany match and though that Japan were truly unlucky, having the better chances and seemingly better skill. However, thoughout the tournament they've suffered from having a goalkeeper who just wasn't up to standard.

  Being English, I'm used to Scottish fans supporting any team that plays…

  boobug: AFAIK, the only people on JT who've said that the Americans know nothing about football have been 'soccer'-hating Americans. Real football fans already realise that the USA are high in the both the men's and women's world rankings.

  I came to Japan to join a famous European company. During the induction day, a Japanese staff member gave a presentation mainly for the benefit of Japanese newbies about how it's ok to disagree with your boss and voice your own opinions. In fact, they went as far to say…

  ihopetoeatwhales: re Japan's stockpile of whalemeat, and its attempt to raise whale meat consumption in Japan (even by turning it into dog food.)

  ihope2eatwhales: Then why not tuck into Japan's huge stockpile of unwanted whalemeat (instead of feeding it to dogs), and then hunt in your own back yard (as per 'tradition') and stop lying ?

  Patrick Smash: even as a staunch veggie I agree with your logic. However, Japan doesn't hunt whales in 'Australia's back yard' because of its 'tradition'. It does so because its politicians like to whip up 'Poor Little Japan v The Big Nasty Outside World' fervour amongst the populace, and thus…
