Commentator couldn't help but note..."he did not even flinch!"... when the coach saw his third penalty taker hit the crossbar in Japan's loss to Paraguay (3 5).

And that camera flash introduced me to Takeshi Okada, one of the most vilified and second guessed coaches in this World Cup. He is bespectacled with the bookish looks of a math teacher, fired in first attempt at Japan's World Cup debut in 1998, hired after previous coach suffered a stroke last year.

One month ago, Mr. Okada said he was ready to tender his resignation—and plenty of Japanese fans were demanding it. Now, the criticisms have given way to "in Okada we trust."

Quarter Final 4:

Paraguay Vs Spain


I could have preferred the Blue Samurais, but they need to practice their penalties first. Paraguay carrying the day for South America. Spain Vs Portugal was a 50/50 match and failed to impress.

Happy Quarter Finals everyone! smile

Any team practicing for penalities is eliminated before they even have a chance to take them. so the teams that will sail thro' should have planned to win with the 1st 90min. and i think thats what Brazil has done.

Welcome home Blue SAMURAI.
We are proud of you.You gave your best.
Despite less talented players, teamwork and displine proved can win a game.
African teams have the best individual talents but indispline ,pride ,lack of teamwork, tribelism etc in the field results to defeat. I heard Kalou and Toure are enemies as one supports rebels while the other one Gover.But you cant blame them as that `TALENT` is magnified in Africans way of life
work to prosper

I'm praying for Ghana and hope they win. I pray that luck is on their side too today because Uruguay from what I've seen, they've got game. First game, I place my money on Brazil - second game I'll pray hard for Ghana but I ain't betting. I wish Essien was there.

BBI will solve it :)

The fact that Essien is not there is the reason why the team has worked so hard to prove the critics wrong. Ghana Will win without him anyway.

I hope they dont make silly mistakes like brazil did. But am happy the brazillians are out, it will be easier for Ghana to handle Netherlands in the semis.
