Oooh here we go! Japan puts one in! But Takahara bumped him and NO FOUL. The roos are booing.

Admittedly dicey goal, but I love Japan's passing in general. Still no ninjas.

Their possession is pretty cool. They're like little terriers.

Oh, yeah. My poor KenKen is so torn by that play. On the one hand, Japan scored! On the other hand, as a keeper, Ken thinks that was unfair. Poor Omi doesn't understand why Ken isn't more excited about the goal.

referee apologizes shusu June 12 2006, 20:04:51 UTC

KAISERSLAUTERN, June 12 (Reuters) -- Australia's players said Egyptian referee Esam Abd El Fatah had apologized for allowing a disputed goal against them in their 3-1 over Japan in World Cup Group F on Monday.

Socceroos goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer said El Fatah had apologized for allowing Shunsuke Nakamura's goal to stand after Atsushi Yanagisawa collided with the Australian keeper and knocked him off balance as the ball sailed into the empty net.

Viduka confirmed the referee had spoken to him about the incident.

"I think it was obvious that he made a mistake but everybody makes a mistake. He said that God was with him today because he obviously made a mistake."
