Ahhh Nuts!

This is Marcus Tulio Tanaka. He is my favorite player on Japan's World Cup team. Unfortunately, Japan just lost moments ago to Paraguay in the shoot out phase after 120 minutes of soccer.

I don't know a lot about soccer, or Japanese soccer, but I thought the team got away from their game of advancing the ball through passing. I thought that today there were more long passes, which seemed to be a lower percentage deal.

I liked the way Japan played the game and I am sorry to see them leave the tournament. My heart goes out to the defenseman who hit the crossbar with his shot.

This is the third of three teams that I was pulling for to have fallen. I have the touch.
