Getting a Goal or Making Money

Getting a Goal or Making Money

Japan was defeated by Bulgaria last night.

The succor match resulted in 1 to 2 defeat of the Japanese national team, though the team was not joined by Nakamura and Nakata this time.

I didn’t see the game on TV until it entered an extension period after the 90 minute length of the game. However, the coach of the Japanese team Zico (Arthur Antunes Coimbra) was smiling, shaking hands with a coach of the Bulgarian team.

It is apparent that Nakamura had a talent to perform the sport skillfully, which is very rare among Japanese football players.

Nakata has a sufficient mind-set and strength to compete on an international stage, which is not so common among Japanese football players.

Everybody in the world knows that the aim of this sport is to crash home, or kick, push, or carry a ball into the goal without one’s hand: nothing more and nothing less in terms of virtue including something other than victory.

However, there may be some in this world who think their process of making money is simpler than a football player’s scoring a goal (, which is bad and very bad).
