Tunisia 0 Japan 2
Morishima 48, Nakata 74

(picture later)

Never in doubt really; the result of this game. And a Nakata goal! Woo - that's going to make him even more of a hero in Japan. Must be weird for him to be ignored, as he is, outside of the land of the rising sun (setting sun?). I would like him better if he didn't look so arrogant, aloof and wooden. I do like a lot of the other Japanese players though and am happy to see them progress.
