[Downtown in Raitou this afternoon and evening, there is a sizeable group of people in blue in front of a fairly large screen set to view a soccer game. It is loud, and there is a lot of fairly hilarious and irritating buzzing, but all in all it seems like a fantastic time to be had by all. The World Cup generally works that way

[Picking through people.] Not used to the noise?

[Laughs.] It's only a vuvuzela!

I don't know how to make one work anyway, so you don't have to worry about me making you deaf. Did you come to watch the game, too?

[Oh dear, that means you know my home team got decimated.] It's been great, so far. Everybody who made it through to the knock-out stage is really good.

Hopefully there won't be. The last thing Japan needs is a red card on a good player if they want to make it past the quarter-finals.

Seriously. I'd still like to have a few words with the referee from Korea Republic's game on Saturday!

Of course! I lost count of how many of Uruguay's fouls he wasn't calling. If we'd had the free kicks we were supposed to get I'm sure we would have at least been able to tie it and send it into extra time.

It's soccer, no one is ever shy.
