I don't know much about football but the Japanese are great at industry, sushi, motorbikes etc. so they're probably great at football too!
Yay - I was right :)

'twould appear that Uruguay (my allocated team) are heading home, perhaps due to the lack of support they received from me - I never watched any of their games. :oops:

The chances of the "hand of God" coming to exert payback to the Argentinians are getting slimmer. Hang on they have one so just the hand of God thingy will do to get one back on the argies.
