Come on Nadeshiko, your best French supporter tells you the famous French saying : 'Jamais deux sans trois !" (All things come in threes).

3-1 + 1-0 = 4-1 tomorrow ^_^

I saw Swedish people today in Coventry that may have been part of the actual team. But of course no sight of any Nadeshiko. lol

Did you tell them than a Swedish fellow named "Lars Breimer" leads a permanent campaign to diffamate the great quality of their play and their ability to play first role in the competition ? It could have helped to distress them before playing Japan ;o)

I think Sweden could nick this one... Japan seem to be conceeding a lot more recently

What does "nick"  mean ? If it's "win", I have to summon you, Gina. It's not because it's the official opening of the Games tonight and that you're probably celebrating this in a stuffy pub with all that this means (hmm... hmm.) that you are intitled to say insanities... Come on, be a good girl and come back to your senses and repeat with me, please... Nadeshiko, Nadeshiko, Nadeshiko... like a mantra, you know.

Of course, if "nick" doesn't mean that, forget it all ! ;o)

I will be in front of TV with a cell-phone with built-in microbrowser. Therefore, I won't be able to keep you posted every step of the way. The Asahi Shimbun, one of Japan's leading newspapers, claims that it would be very effective to allow Mana Iwabuschi (#16/ 19y/o: NTV Beleza) to enter this game in progress when feasible. From what I have gathered, Kozue Ando (#7: 30y/o: FCR 2001 Duisburg) will probably enter the game midway.

The following Nadeshiko players are going to be in the starting lineup in today's match against Sweden's women's national soccer team:

GK: Miho Fukumoto (#1: 28y/o: Okayama Yunogo Belle Club)

DF:  Yukari Kinga (#2: 28y/o: INAC Kobe Leonessa), Azusa Iwashimizu (#3: 25y/o: NTV Beleza), Saki Kumagai (#4: 21y/o: 1. FFC Frankfurt), Aya Sameshima (#5: 25y/o: Vegalta Sendai Ladies)

 

MF: Mizuho Sakaguchi (#6: 24y/o: NTV Beleza), Aya Miyama (#8: 27y/o: Okayama Yunogo Belle Club), Homare Sawa (#10: 33y/o: INAC Kobe Leonessa), Nahomi Kawasumi (#9: 26y/o: INAC Kobe Leonessa)

 

FW: Yūki Ōgimi (#17: 25y/o: 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam), Shinobu Ohno (#11: 28y/o: INAC Kobe Leonessa)

I wish the Nadeshiko the best of luck out there! :D

In order to fully support the Nadeshiko, I decided to multiply myself today... ^_ ^
