Japan 2. Italy 3. Olympic Football Men Preliminary Group B
Japan was eliminated after their 3-4 loss to Paraguay on Monday and 2-3 loss to Italy today.
As Japanese love Olympic games, the soccer team is always on the front.
Some says the Olympic team is more attractive than Zico's national team
when they clinched the Athens tickets.
But the team did not bring out their ability. This match, Japan seems to
possese the ball longer than Italy, but the match was controled by Italy.
Third match will be played against Gahna on Wednesday 18th.
