STICK NEWS
Kia Ora. In Stick News today, Japan will play their second game in the World Cup on Sunday night. The poor team destined to a crushing defeat is Croatia.
Japan’s first game in the 2006 World Cup, didn’t go as planned.
After a shock loss to Australia, the outpouring of grief in Japan caused water levels in lakes and rivers across the country to rise by up to 5cms.
But the flood protection squad isn’t concerned about Sunday’s result.
Experts are predicting that Japan will win by at least 4 goals.
And that was Stick News for Friday the 16th of June.
Kia Ora.
