I won't be able to watch the matches live too... I think someone could for kindness  to record the matches and put the videos here in wsu to people that will not watch it in correct time.

Thanks again @Hiroshi :) I also won't be able to watch the match live via cable TV since I'm currently working in the rural school in Borneo.So, Twitter is my only hope to gain latest info for the upcoming games :) I hope the Nadeshiko will bring out their best performance.

@WSU @Sopheena I have something to add to my earlier comment. Homare Sawa has been suffering from Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV). Other than Marta, I don't know much about the Brazilian national soccer team. However, I feel that as far as individual ability is concerned, USWNT is the best. On top of that, as for the Nadeshiko, it is clear that Yūki Nagasato, Kozue Ando, and Saki Kumagai, each of whom currently plays for a German Bundesliga club, need time to recover from jet lag. Personally, I am swamped with my own work, and I live in the suburbs of Tokyo. So I can't go to see the match....=(

I wish to make my sentences grammatically and logically consistent. So I will do a rewrite of my earlier comment. The coach will most likely replace the troubled Homare Sawa with Asuna Tanaka, who now plays for INAC Leonessa. In addition, her blog informs us that Azusa Iwashimizu, who currently plays as a center back for NTV Beleza, will withdraw from the Kirin Challenge Cup. She is actually left off of Japan's soccer team bound for the tournament. Physically gifted Rumi Utsugi, who plays for Montpellier HSC Ladies, will probably be a replacement for Iwashimizu. I am not sure whether or not Tanaka and Utsugi will be able to fill their shoes. As a Japanese, I think the results of the Women’s Kirin Challenge Cup will depend on their performance.
