On 24th which was yesterday there was a soccer game between South Korea and Japan in Saitama Stadium Japan. It was a practice game but both team used most of their best players, and Korea won again by 2:0. This is the second time Korea won in 2010, last time Korea one by 3:1.
The first goal was made by the captain of Korea Park, Ji-Sung in about 5 minutes after the game started; the second goal was by penalty kick by Park, Ju Young. The first goal was soooo great, the rest of the game seemed little boring and slow.
Korea has two more practice game before the 2010 World Cup, I hope they win both of them as well.

In Japan there was a rumor about the Japanese soccer team coach Okada Takeshi's resignation, but according to the news he will keep coaching the team until the 2010 World Cup.
It's good to head in to the World Cup with confidence and momentum. Looks like Korea is on a good path. Japan on the other hand... oh well...
