Make that Brazil 3, Japan 0.
Brazil played superbly, and Japan made some seriously dumb mistakes, and Brazil got very lucky a few times. Japan lost the first two sets by 2 points - they might just beat this team next month in Beijing.

I wish someone, like China, would put an embargo on the US like they did with Cuba... Maybe that would stop the lunatics attacking innocent people for a pack of lies. Yes, I am embarrassed to be called American, and wish I could hold my head high and say they…

Great for Fukuda, stand up for your rights. About time Japanese leaders stopped being doormats for the P.C. crowd. Send a clear message to the likes of the gutless New York Times. Great for him.
