Off topic: Japan wins!

Japan won their first world cup victory ever tonight. They beat Russia 1-0. Yokohama was a madhouse - crowds of people jumping up and down chanting "Nippon, Nippon!". The feeling from the crowd was awesome, some people were in tears.

Congratulations to Japan!

Yes. A great win. The Russo-Japanes War all over again!

Pity there were riots in Russia, and people actually died....

Anyway, that's not Japan's fault. They are a rapidly improving team who will be a world Force in the game in the next few years.
