Very entertaining last 20 minutes. Can't believe they won, but good for them. Let the media hype begin. I can imagine the morning shows already.

Yahoo Japan
already has a huge spread going, so I can imagine all the papers will have this game front page, knock everything else down! Yes, it will be sickening for the next couple of days.

Man of the match(imo): Matsui! I hope to see more of him..

At the moment, Japan actually has a good chance in the group stages! They wont beat the Netherlands, but if they make a draw against Denmark, that might be enough. Denmark can't attack, and Japan showed us that they are able to defend themselves pretty well. If both Matsui and Honda plays the next matches, I think they have a decent chance of getting 6 points. At least 4!

Yeah, remarkably, they were able to fend off a late assault by Cameroon. Hats off to them, for squeezing out a victory. Despite Cameroon's reputation, I have to say Japan was definitely the better of the two sides in that particular match.

This Canadian dude just wanted to see Japan's loss to distract his grudges to Japanese. You are ugly.

By the way, Japan played the game aggressively to the end. However Cameroon was damn weak.....

Good game. :nihonjin:
Thought Japan was going to beat 2-0. Cameroon was 11 talented guys with no game plan and a lot of chippy fouls.
Japan was a team.
Saturday, Cameroon vs. Denmark will be the most important game to decide who will join Holland in the next round. Japan hoping for a draw and taking at least a point off Denmark.

All credit to Japan. That's probably the biggest upset so far. If they do nothing else in the tournament, getting their first World Cup win, and against a higher-rate team, should give them grounds to be a bit more confident. in the future.

Cameroon might yet end up bottom of the group unless they can get points off Denmark or the Netherlands. There's less chance now that any of the teams will dare to rest front line players in their remaining two matches.

I dont know per say that Japan was playing "well" rather than Cameroon really didnt seem to have their heart in it. It will be interesting to see where Japan goes from here but I am also curious if Cameroon can pull it together and make from advancements.

Take, if you are referring to me, I never said I wanted to see Japan lose, just I thought they would, being the second lowest ranked team in the tournament and having lost their last 4 matches before the World Cup.
But you cannot say that Japan played aggressively until the end, hell they basically conceded the center line to Cameroon, and let them walk in and take control at will. I also worried about the tactic of only playing the ball to Honda, who must have been dead tired. I thought Endo played a terrible game, and hope he is pulled. Matsui was very good, as was the backline for Japan.
Jack why do you come to this sight, you know you hate everyone and their views, so why do you even care!

Here's something I hadn't even thought of.

One of the news shows this morning is making a big deal of the fact that this was Okada's first major win, and that he is the first Japanese coach to win a world cup game.

There's all kinds of news in the nooks and crannies if you look hard enough! ;)

Great moment on the news this morning.

A J-reporter outside was giving a report outside the stadium with a bunch of Cameroon fans, and while he was speaking they'd keep blowing their vuvuzelas. Finally, he turned and shouted (good-naturedly) "Urusai yo!" at them, to which they all began cheering, "Urusaiyo! Urusaiyo! Urusaiyo!"

Somali Soccer Fans Executed By Islamic Militants For Watching World Cup Match

First Posted: 06-14-10 06:07 PM | Updated: 06-15-10 04:12 PM

Gunmen believed to be from a radical Islamic group in northeast Mogadishu, Somalia, shot two people dead during an impromptu raid on a house where people were watching a World Cup match Saturday night, Reuters reports.

A witness told reporters that masked militants "stormed into the house" and open fired at the World Cup viewers, killing two instantly. The militants rounded up about 10 other fans, but left the bodies in the home, the witness said.

The incident came on the heels of a national ban on viewing "un-Islamic" World Cup games made by the local militia group al Shabaab, which controls much of south and central Somalia by force. By al Shabaab's logic, the championship interferes with the group's plan to overthrow the government, because Somali citizens are too preoccupied with the games to fight on their behalf.

Other militant groups have also professed their disapproval of the World Cup.

"Football is an inheritance from the primitive infidels, and we can never accept people to watch it and we are directing a final warning to those who want to watch it," said Sheikh Mohamed Abdi Aros, a spokesman for Hizbul Islam, a group which has reportedly raided homes and detained at least 30 other World Cup fans in Afgoye, about 18 miles south of Mogadishu. He did not specify how the group -- which has also routinely banned music and dancing along with other sports -- intended to enforce the ban.

Thus far, neither of the two groups has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Despite the prohibitions, Somali soccer fans remained undeterred, and residents say they will continue to seek out various ways to skirt the ban, including the use of makeshift satellite dishes. As one Somali told the BBC, "I have one eye on the TV and other on the door, and the sound turned down."
