    Honda is the 2nd in scoring for his team and 6th in the league! Amazing coming from a midfielder. He has justified himself as a star player and has done well enough to earn a call-up for the next National Team game!

    Agree, and i am sure VVV Venlo will get promoted too, so it will be interesting what he can do next season, i am sooo glad he stayed at Venlo.

    He's marked 10 goals and 9 assists so far.
    It is repeatedly rumored that he may join AZ after the season.
    Ajax and PSV are also interested in him.
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Morimoto is finally starting to get playing time regulary.
    He played 90 minutes in the last three games in a row.
    Although he didn't score last week, he got a good rating.
    http://fantacalcio.noblogo.org/voti...zzetta-19-giornata-serie-a-1718-gennaio-2009/
    Considering he is still 20 years old, I think he is doing well in the Serie A.
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Matsui returned to starting 11 after St. Etienne hired a new manager.
    Since his arrival, Matsui has started 6 consecutive games.

    Morimoto has been praised in most Italian TV soccer shows. I won't be surprised if some more prestigious club than Catania will offer him a contract for next season. But I believe that if he is sure to start, another season at Catania (2009-2010) would be the best option.

    It would be nice to see Honda move to Ajax, AZ, or PSV. But it would probably better for him to play 1 more year with Venlo in the top league and see how well he does and then move to a powerhouse team.

    It's nice to see Morimoto doing well in Italy. I think that its a little too early for him to move to another club. I would like to see him start a full season for Catania and then move.

    the situation with Morimoto is a little tricky. He hasn't proved himself yet to consolidate his position, just starting to. If he moves to another club he will find himself sitting on the bench again.

    Has anybody here ever heard about Rodrigo Tabata [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigo_Tabata], a japanese-brazilian (like Tulio) that plays for Gaziantepspor, in the turkish süperlig ? He seems like a really good player and scores many goals in a very competitive league (one of the seven or eight best in europe).

    Well, I was just wondering if he would/could play for japanese NT and if it could be a good idea ?

    Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 [R]

    Yeah, I knew about those ones too. But Tabata seems the only one with a real potential right now. Nagamura is young, maybe in a few years.

    Tabata was rumored to join the Japan NT before 2006 World Cup. But it didn't happen.
    The problem is that Japan doesn't recognize dual citizenship.
    He doesn't have Japanese nationality.

    It's a shame that Japan doesn't recognize dual-citizenship, they are losing out on some great players.

    Naka had 2 assists today! Both on corners, but he still played well as Celtic won 3-1 against Hibs.

    I thought it was not allowed to have dual citizenship anywhere after your 18?
    because I was told I have to choose between Japan and US after I turn 18...
    or was that because its Japan?

    Japan does not recognize dual-citizenship. I'm not sure about the U.S. though. I'm pretty sure they do, but I have never seen anyone with U.S. citizenship and another country.

    U.S used to, but have since revoked it. and it's upon your 22nd birthday , Japan requires you to make a choice, as it was in my case atleast in Aaustralia.

    Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 [R]

    My understanding is that US technically allows dual citizenship unless you do something which makes your intentions clear (such as becoming a naturalized citizen of a second country... that will be taken that you have renounced US citizenship. Or possibly joining a foreign military?) There used to be laws against dual citizenship... but those were struck down by the Supreme Court. So US government heavily frowns on dual citizenship but can't do much about it.
    Most commonly this occurs if you were born with dual citizenship (typically one by where you were born and one by via parents' nationality.)
    But one could also naturalize to US from certain nationalities. When you naturalize as an American you have to renounce the previous country -- but not all of those countries recognize the renunciation. Such is the case with Israel, France, and several others. In this way you can naturalize to America but still keep your previous citizenship "in spite of yourself."

    Japan on the other hand doesn't recognize dual citizenship whatsoever. You have to choose by age 22 or lose Japan citizenship.

    Or you could just sit tight and not do anything until someone makes an issue of it.

    Re: Japanese Abroad 2008/09 [R]

    Ok, we're OT, but.....

    My second son at the moment has triple-citizenship (US, EU, Japan), so I am (I hope...) well informed.

    As a general rule: EU and US allow double-citizenship, Asian countries do not.

    If you're Japanese-European or Japanese-American, technically speaking, Japan asks you to decide at 21. But you can officially "decide" Japan, and keep the other citizenship on the side, since Japanese authorities can't do anything to you, as far as you don't use your foreign passport in Japan.

    Not sure for Australia and Canada.

    I personally would never give away my EU or US passport for Japanese citizenship for this simple reason: it is relatively easy to immigrate to Japan as skilled laborer, it is HELL to do so in US and EU. And this won't change much for Japan, since the dwindling population will demand more workers--no matter if the Japanese like it or not. In about 10 years, for the first time in a loooooong time, they'll have to open their borders to many, many gaijin, or succumb.

    Might be worth mentioning that Mizuno was not on the bench even for Celtic's 3-1 win against Hibs.

    Don't think so. I searched earlier tonight and didn't find anything. McCourt was on the bench instead. :rolleyes:

    Of course, Ono is injured though...
