Anyways GO JAPAN!
にほん がんばって ね! にほん さいく!

And yes, go young Nadeshiko !
Permalink Reply by Tim Jerolamon on August 11, 2012 at 15:08 because of her injury, and recent participation in the olympics, she will not play :/
Permalink Reply by Gromit on August 11, 2012 at 15:17 She was injured ? Oh... And she was close to score against USA in the Final !
Permalink Reply by Tim Jerolamon on August 11, 2012 at 15:25 I know! I am from the USA but I love Nadeshiko! They are the reason I fell in love with soccer, and I like them more than the mens team. I had to buy a jersey while I was in Japan of Kawasumi lol
It was before the olympics. She injured her leg but was able to play through it during the olympics, but I believe she still needs some rehabilitation on it, so she will sit out :(
But Ayu Nakada is also one of my favorites, so I'm excited to see her play!

I don't know Ayu Nakada (nor either U-20 Japanese players, actually), so I'm impatient to see her playing !
Permalink Reply by Tim Jerolamon on August 11, 2012 at 15:46 What country do you live in? I don't think the USA will televise it :(
I love Ayu! haha you should look her up!
Permalink Reply by Gromit on August 11, 2012 at 15:50 I'm French and live in my country ;o)
The matches won't be broadcast on French TV of course and I don't have the cable. But I've got Internet... ;o)
