I might pop down myself!

Might go, Japan vs Sweden in 1995 was my first game at the CG

It's also likely to be the best footballing spectacle that we'll see in 2012...

Think I'm gonna go along to Hampden and watch them play Spain in the Olympics!

I've sorted a ticket for Japan v Mexico on the Saturday.

A bargain for a fiver!

Two belting strikes in this match. Japan won 2-1.

It was an excellent, entertaining match.

Japan scored after a couple of minutes, taking advantage of some shaky Mexican defending.

Mexico's equaliser was a peach of a long range effort, and the winner was a sumptuous curling strike from Japan.

Lovely weather and some bonkers Japanese fans; however they only seem to have one song, accompanied by a large drum, (BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!) "Nip-pon!"

I went on Wednesday and they sure were bonkers

I think it shows how big the Olympics are
When I saw them, Japan really didn't like it up them. Judging by the competition I fancy GB to get a Bronze

Did Honda or Miyachi play?

**Anatoli** · 22-07-12, 10:08

No but Kawasaki and Toyota were up front for them.

Looking forward to Japan vs Spain at Hampden on Thursday!

I particularly like the bit at the end when the Japan players started showing off their martial art skills.

Did they really do that ?

Yes, there was 5 minutes ninjary time.

Not quite as skilled as the Mexicans with their chewing gum, though:

Was it a similar Mexican team to the one that beat Team GB?
