What is this compulsion? It's like I NEED an Asian goalkeeper to focus on or something. In 2001 it was the Chinese keeper (this guy named
An Qi, who was tall and handsome but not really that good). And after watching highlights of Japan's first game a couple of days ago, I think I'm fixated on this new kid, Akihiro Hayashi. But oh my gosh, how doofycute is he:
Endearing facts: He's the only Japanese player who doesn't play for a professional team. Instead he's going to university. He also plays the piano for relaxation, and says it helps with his rhythm. HOW FREAKING ASIAN. And thus, irresistable.
Anyway. I'm probably going to watch Japan's match today, indulge in precious Asian time. *shifty eyes*
