Team as one
After the earthquake, Japan Football Association and J. League decided to hold the charity match which called "Gambaro, Japan" charity match Samurai Blue vs. J. League TEAM AS ONE. Samurai Blue is Japanese national football team. J. League TEAM AS ONE is all star team from J. League clubs.
J. League is Japanese football league. There are 2 divisions and there are 38 football teams (18 teams in J. League division 1, and 20 teams in J. League division 2). They decided to hold the charity match in Osaka because it's tough to hold match in Tokyo due to electricity shortage.
Today was the day of the charity match. Of course, I watched the match on TV. I heard the match broadcasted around the world in live.
I felt the match was really nice. There was one very famous Japanese football player on the pitch today. His name is Kazuyoshi Miura (aka King Kazu). He's 44 years old and he is still playing at Yokohama FC (J. League division 2). He is the first Asian football player who played at Serie A in 1994.
His dance after his goal called "Kazu dance(カズダンス)" is really famous, and I believe many people who were watching the match wanted to see his dance. Well, we could see his dance!! You can watch his goal at the charity match from the video on top. (TV station might delete the video on YouTube.)
Finally, the Samurai Blue (Japan National Team) won the game, of course. But TEAM AS ONE (all star team from J. League clubs) played really nice. And luckily King Kazu did his wonderful job! I believe the charity match encourage people in Tohoku area.
Thank you.
