Japan Reached the Final

In the women's FIFA football world cup, Japan played England in the semi final yesterday night (early this morning Swedish time, since the cup is played in Canada). Japan won and will have a chance at the goal later this week.

The victory was not really one to be very proud of, since it was the result of an English own goal in the last minutes of the game. We can celebrate the victory, but it would have been sweeter, had the winning goal been that of Japanese players.

Most of us will hope Japan wins the gold. Calvin says, however, he hopes for the other team in the final, that of the USA. I can understand this, since he was born in the USA. My Mum would have said the same, had she still been with us. For the rest of us, we think of the Japanese origin of our breed, thus, we root for Japan.
