According to my tv commentators, at the first pass, back near the Spanish goal, a Spanish defender fouled a Swedish forward, but the ref didn't blow, then the ball moved forward to Torres and then to Villa. But I've been skimming thru post-match reviews and no one mentioned it, so maybe it wasn't! Oh and I heard Ibra had a sore knee that's why he was taken off, and also Larsson (the older one) also picked up a slight knock but both should be ok for the next game, whew. So Sweden should be able to take Russia I think! Anyways sorry for going so OT (I don't know how strict the forums here about going off topic but..)
Yeah, I guess that's all we can do about the timing, just try and see huh. I have some friends in Tokyo as well, but they're recent college grads like I, and still living with their families so I'd hate to crash with them hehe. Actually I heard for the Keio dorms, if you give a month's notice you can move out after that with no extra charges, so maybe I'll go with that first (if I even get a room though!) So what's your first choice right now? A guesthouse with Sakura House?
And you're right, I psyched to go! I can't sit still at home anymore haha, just waiting for time to pass. I graduated last month from Syracuse University (it's not very famous overseas I think), in case you haven't heard of it, it's in upstate New York, about 4 hours drive away from NYC. I'm now visiting my mom who lives in Shanghai (I'm Malaysian Chinese) but I don't have friends here so I'm basically stuck at home doing nothing (watching soccer every night!), which only makes the wait for Tokyo even harder!

Aha, i see! Yeah I'm swedish. Didn't notice the supposed foul myself, so.. Oh and yeah, Zlatan has had problems with injuries, and he did get hit on the knee in 1st half. Anyways, russia _is_ going down!
Hm yeah, sakura certainly has the most alternatives. The downside as i see it is that it's a house solely for foreigners, so it's kinda bad for the language practice...
Oh so you've graduated already. Mind if i ask what you majored in? Still got 1½ years left on my master's myself (Science and Technology Studies).
Heh, yeah. I just started my 2-month summer job so I'm occupied atleast haha, but that doesn't stop me from beeing distracted all the time, thinking about stuff I'm gonna do in Tokyo :>
Oh and yeah, youre right tommasi - 1 hr commutes sure are common. I myself had almost an hour commute when I went to language school in Kudanshita (lived in J&F house @ Kita-Koshigaya). But as I then found out, there are gazzilions of guest houses all over Tokyo. So this time, I'm going to try and get a more central living location
