Scotsmen occupied Yokohama
Two late goals brought a victory for Japan against Scotland in
Yokohama 10th October. As Japan played Asian Cup 2011 qualifying on
Thursday and Scotland sent younger players to Japan, the match seems
to be the reserve match for them. Both did not have much ideas in
the midfield, Japanese reserve players are eager than Scots.
What was intersting for me was hundreds of Scotland supporters. They
were most vistors in Japan ever excluding Korea and China. Photo is
published on Japanese media J's Goal, how many of them came from their
country to see this match. Their deep and loud voice is easily heard
in the stadium.
