I watched every single game played by Team Japan... including the ones which started at 3AM local time.

The Korea vs Japan games were starting to wear thin but after watching the semi finals vs Team USA, it was nice to see a pair of teams who were dead serious about this competition and were willing to do anything to win.

It's also nice to see Ichiro breaking out of his slump in the finals. He's got a pretty big mouth during the classics but at least he's got the talent to back it up.
