Not a sovereign country but a great football story. They finished second to New Zealand in World Cup qualification so will be in the 'intercontinetal playoff' to make it to the real thing though they have to beat Bolivia and then someone else quite good.
Hi Wherever, He obviously wants to get a reaction from people. Taff We were well beaten last night - it was almost as if some of the boys were ‘star struck’: they knew England were (far) better ‘man to man’ and it took us going 3-0 down before they came to their senses. However, the game was over….. Let’s not forget that Harry wasn’t playing - could have been 5 or 6 …..
Saito came on for Japan on 66 minutes after they'd just gone 2-1 down. They equalised in 94th minute. No idea how he played but great for him to get a cap.
