Our Man In Japan

Football, Football, Football

There was the six goal thriller by Argentina on Friday evening (good to see my tip impressing. can they keep it up?). On Saturday and Sunday there was the Nagano ALT Soccer Tournament more on that when I sort the photos, but was my most enjoyable tournament even if we were unlucky to conceed the final through a crazy, deflected goal. This was all rounded off by the Japan vs Croatia match which had a public viewing in Tokamachi (I think Japan played the best I've ever seen them play). According to one of my teachers, the NHK cameras captured me and Erik cheering on Japan. It may get repeated during tonight's news so keep that video recorder on standby!

With exams round the corner and PTA meetings in the afternoon, my lessons today have been postponed. I'm sat in the office trying to write up lessons plans and prepare a listening test, but I can't help but think of the weekend's footy. I even added more things to my World Cup English Board to try and get it out of my system.

Not only did you enjoy it the most but it was also the best I have ever seen you play... Think of it as the culmination of 2 years playing together and vindication for the masses of work you put in to improve in every game... Well played my friend...

Thanks Ryan. That comment means a lot to me. It's been great playing in this team and it won't be the same when half of it leaves in the summer :-(
