STICK NEWS
Kia Ora. In Stick News Japan has exited the World Cup after they lost to Brazil today.
This morning Japan still had a chance of making the second round of the World Cup. All they needed to do was beat Brazil by at least 2 points. And hope Australia lost.
Despite Tamada’s nice goal in the 34th minute, Brazil ended up destroying Japan’s hopes by getting 4 goals past legendary Japanese goalkeeper Kawaguchi.
After the game Nakata lay on the field with a towel over his face and cried.
Japan’s coach Zico said he gave coaching the team his “best shot”.
And that was Stick News for Friday the 23rd of June.
Kia Ora.
