Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] Venue - Leverkusen, Germany This game will not be broadcast live in Japan... TV Asahi sucks.
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] In rich country like Japan they don't show their warming up games on TV? That is just some sick sht. I guess you poor japanese wont see every WC game on TV neither? About the game, i predict a draw.
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] I'd be content with a 1-0 defeat I'll be over the moon with a draw or win 2-0 defeat would be dissapointing, 3-0 defeat will be a DISASTER
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] Ordinary Japanese can't watch the following games. Argentina - Ivory Coast Holland - Argentina Angola - Portugal Italy - Ghana Italy - USA Ghana - USA Germany - Poland Sweden - Paraguay Sweden - England Mexico - Angola France - Korea Spain - Tunisia Ukraine - Tunisia
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] It sucks that TV Asahi is not broadcasting the match "LIVE". According to their web-site, TV Asahi is showing the Japan-Germany match on May 31, from 4:25 AM - 6:55 AM (Japan time). So by the looks of it, it will be on, BUT on an about 1.5 hour TAPE DELAY. I don't see why not they broadcast it live from 3:30 - 5:30 AM, then can go into their morning news program afterwards. VN
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] I think Japan can manage a 0-0 tie if they play at their best. Always tough when playing against the home team
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] This makes such obvious good sense that Im surprised to see anyone complaining. According to the TV schedule, kickoff will be at 5AM. Most office workers either already get up at 5AM or will only have to get up an hour or so early. They can watch the game and then leave for work after it ends, and most will still get to work on time. If they showed it live, most people would record it and watch it later, which means a much lower rating which means MUCH MUCH less advertising money. Those who did get up to watch it live would have a poor nights sleep and those who watched it on tape would probably already know the score. The way they have it scheduled is good for viewers, good for the company's profits, and good for the advertisers. Why would they make things hard on everyone, just to show it live?
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] Where did you hear this? ALL matches will be shown live on TV in Japan
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] In case anyone is living in Japan and is trying to figure out what time and channel any game of the World Cup is on. Try this web-site http://www.tvguide.or.jp You can choose what area (prefecture) you will be watching TV in, and find out the details from there. Although, it only goes 7 days in advance. Just trying to help. VN.
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] They will broadcast all games on NHK live spread out between BS1 and NHK General. Here is the link to the info and pdf file schedule for TV and NHK radio (Japanese only) http://www.nhk.or.jp/worldcup/index.html Some of the game that come on real early in the morning will be re-broadcast later the same day.
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] Oh well, I guess in the end, CASH RULES ALMOST EVERYTHING, for the TV Networks. I just wish I didn't start work at 6 AM, and no I don't have TV at work either, just internet. So, the VCR will have to work for me on that day. I hope its not a repeat of Yokohama 2004. VN
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] I will be optimistic here. I predict that Japan will win 2-1. Rationally thinking, even this not-so-doing-good-at-all Germany is a tough opponent, especially with home advantage. But I have this feeling that Japan is going to surprise the world again. Whenever Japan played well against world's top-class or next-to-top-class teams, Japan had the advantage of having their Euro-leaguers play in the team for considerable amount of time, as opposed to get-go-scramble they often had to do during Asian qualifying rounds. The games I talk about are the follows: 2003 Confederation Cup VS France 1-2 Defeat (in France) 2004 expedition in Europe VS Czech 1-0 Victory (in Czech) VS England 1-1 Tie (in England) 2005 Confederation Cup VS Brazil 2-2 Tie (in Germany) This time, with 2 weeks of training in Japan with their best members, Japan is likely at the best it had ever been. All of the Japanese newspapers are reporting about combination/strategy-related practices the NT has been doing (which was quite rare under Zico's reign), and how just about all of the players are trading opinions left and right (including the infamous Nakata, who's actually acting friendly) to fine-tune the team dynamics. I sense a miracle coming. Hope my optimism won't end up as an embarassment.
Re: Japan vs Germany May 30 [R] Germany defeated Luxembourg 7-0 yesterday, they are not the best team but 7-0 is a strong result.
Among two of my favorite teams in the World Cup (Germany being [of course ] #1, Japan #3 for me). I hope nobody gets injured and a good performance for both teams.
