Owen.. a straight forward Gerard long shot was spilled by Narazaki straight to Owen path who made not mistake poaching home England's opener...

England dominate procedings in the early half,... the midfield was definately control by the homeside with Kubo and Tamada, Japanese top 2 failing to get any openings.. but as the game go on the spirited Japanese managed to find their footings and slowing taking over the midfield headed by forgotten Reggina playmaker, Nakamura Shunsuke. Finally in the 53 minute, Japanese found their equalizer .. Nakamura's through pass found impressive wingback, Santos Alessandro whose ground cross leaves One free to quickly shoot the ball through David James leg.. that goal seem the woke England for awhile but they fail to take any advantage and Japanese spirit took over again.. later on England lost as attacking force are concern and the mass substitution also didnt help,.. there were a lot of worried face in the England bench showing how much they need to improve before the start of EURO 2004...

I thin it's a bit ridiculous that a player called Alessandro Santos is playing for Japan :LOL: Don't forget they had Lopez too.

Graham isn't a boring name! They're so many different ways to pronounce it (grey-ham for instance) and it only contains two vowels. Plus, the H sandwiched between the two As gives it a classy look :cool:

I think your parents did amazingly well in naming you :thumb: :p ;) :D
Why thank you :cheesy:

Originally my English name was gonna be Gene, because my Korean name is Gene Hyun. Interestingly enough, they decided that "Gene" is an easy name to scold, since it's so short. Try it yourself :) "GENE! Stop talking!"

I'd have preferred a biblical name, but AFAIK I'm the only Graham Bae in the world :D Graham's not a very common name amongst asians, and my last name isn't very common either

Yeah I know, I didn't mean to be rude or anything, but it's just funny to see "Junichi Inamoto passes to Shunsuke Nakamura. Nakamura to Hidetoshi Nakata. Nakata to Alessandro Santos :wth: :D

Ahhh I've almost forgotten how to read katakana, I last studied japanese about 4 years ago :)
