Well done Young Nadeshiko Japan Ladies, who destroyed Korea with ease last night … Japan 3-1 Korea, often in 2nd gear (to use an old footballing cliche)…. bring on Germany or Norway.

If you have an interest in football and have not seen the ladies yet, check some highlights – they are good – the future is bright. And I am talking about the team who already won the 2010 World Cup – the next generation ain’t too bad

Nigeria beat Mexico in the other quarter final, 1-0… and two more tonight. Japan will play the winner of Germany v. Norway, next Tuesday. Hoping for a Japan v. North Korea final.
