OT: Japanese Women's Soccer Team Beat France to Advance to Final


Japan 2, France 1, at Wembley stadium. Japan will play either Canada or the United States on Thursday. (From AP.)

I hope the team get business class tickets on return, if not the first class.

  2. Thank you for grammar pointers. I meant the word "beat" in the past tense.

  5. To their credit, the men's team is said to have been extremely uncomfortable with the arrangement.

    They will have their semi-final with Mexico on August 8.

  7. Sincere congratulations to the Japanese Ladies ; they played a beautiful and "sports" soccer. Like you would see in men's teams 50 years ago. But since, men's soccer has become more and more tricky, violent - it is dangerous - and a run-for-money game. Instead of soccer, skilled sports-woman often chose other sports in the countries that experienced this sad transformation.
    I would hope for a renewal, but would not bet it happens.
