Really sad about Japan yesterday blowing that 2-0 lead. They were just playing wonderful and continued to attack and take risks. My Europhile self was angry that they didn't sit back, defend the lead and slow the pace of play. After watching Sweden win with their boring and pragmatic style of play I took much greater appreciation for the show they put on. They stuck with their own style and really gave the world a memorable game. Also, there's no telling that they won't inspire the next generation to continue to further that style and be successful down the road.
ya, I like watching Japan, they bring it.
Japan seems to really go hard, in whatever sport they do. I mean i'm very interested in their running culture, they have faster half/full marathoners than the US. They risk alot.
I don't mind boring styles tho, whatever wins, as long as it's not cheating. I mean, i'm a Floyd Jr fan.. king of "boring styles" by most accounts :d
