Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Hi and welcome. But wait.......you could be an imposter...... So you must prove yourself by solving a special quiz .......
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Yes? what i need to do with this pic? She is Azusa Iwashimizu from Beleza and old Rumi teammate,Nadeshiko player too,she won 16th Asian Game this year. I success?
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Wow that's an even better Azusa photo, maybe the best I have ever seen. Now I think the opposite, maybe you are really Norio Sasaki Welcome to bigsoccer !
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II No i am not Sasaki san but i meet him when he was at my city in november to follow Rumi.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Wow ! Myself I have only gotten Miyama's and Yamaguchi's autographs. And next year their team (Atlanta Beat) may not even exist any more. I will be thinking of the promised message to Rumi. Pity we will not see the Nadeshiko play for several months.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Ho nice,i don't have Utsugi autograph yet but i project to make sign my Japan Utsugi jersey soon. I watching each training by week but i don't want be after her every day,somes days we have no contact exchange,i think to be around the pitch is enough,she see me but i don't disturb her. At this time it's cold so after training ,she really want leave ,so hard to ask her autograph with gloves haha. I hope later i will can have a match worn jersey from her,a friend very so close with staff told me i can ask a jersey from professionnal stock (because women jersey is little different with men one and not in store) but her match worn will better. For now i don't have ,after one week,her impression about my present and the blog,i think she will never tell me until i don't ask to her. I posted somes news videos yesteday. ps: Mumf do you know Yoko Tanaka from U-17? She is one of my favorite in this team
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Hello, kyra. I guarantee that Mumf is a great fan of Yoko Tanaka, too. I'm sorry to hear that JFA Fukushima was beaten by Iga at the national cup. Tokiwagi High School,including Kyokawa and Nakada, went through to the next round against Beleza.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Oh, sorry, this handle name always misleads you. I'm a Japanese male, looking like not an apple, but a pear, no a bear in fact.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Who could ever forget her ? I have often said here that it is fortunate that I only saw one full game (the Final) from the u-17 World Cup. It is simply not fair that she ends up with just a Silver medal. For Yoko, I even claimed a set of 3 World Cup history (including both mens and womens WC) records, as you can see on this page of the forum. Somewhere else it was translated that she met David Beckham and she "saw a sort of ethereal beauty" in him. At the time I did not admit it here, but for the first time ever, I immediately felt so jealous of Mr. Beckham Its just a pity we have a long wait to see Yoko play in blue again. In that u-17 final she was just everywhere.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II I think you are right, she will never tell you it is important. Because it is. I think every little bit helps. Suggest keep up your support as your time allows. Maybe not every training session. I see you have a Sameshima jersey - where did you get that ? A very good choice, she is the most graceful international maybe in the world. In fact I almost wish she would arrive in Germany to "tough up" for next year.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Haha sameshima jersey is not mine unfortunely. Do you have somes nadeshiko jersey mumf?
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Oh no, all my Nadesihiko collection is on my PC ! Except for the two autographs. I looked at your blog again. I have proposals to improve it - 1. First you should move all the u-17 WC stuff aside. With it, the blog is too chaotic, and it is no longer "Rumi". I know this may be difficult because you probably have only one blog. 2. Second, in my opinion, this is your best video -> because it is editted so nicely, short and sweet. Your other videos should be editted to show mostly Rumi. Particularily in winter it is actually impossible to tell her apart from the rest of the team, due to the clothing (caps hiding their hair, etc). Then I have a question - she missed the last game entirely ? Does she get injured a lot ? You dont even list her on the bench, which is a big change from playing a full 90 minutes.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II I will very interest to look your collection on your pc ! About your idea yes i am agree,it's a blog not a website so i can't really create categorie. Rumi played full 90 minutes against La-roche-sur-Yon. I only not edit roster yet sorry,but in pictures you can see her. She missed only one game http://www.zeblog.com/admin-utsugirumi-451209 because at training she had little pain at her leg so coach didn't used her because 2 next games was very important.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II I saw the photo again on your blog, and it is such a great one, and I asked myself "why?" I think it is the powerful contrast: There are 10 girls lined up and they look so nervous, as if thinking: "we can lose today". And then there is 1 girl, her hair fluttering in the breeze, and she is thinking: "go ahead and try......it will just make my day"
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Oh that is better. Is there a league table we can see ? My "collection" is mostly just links to videos and photos - and a few blogs, including this one. Here on bigsoccer they used to have personal photo collections, but either they suddenly stopped, or I lost privileges (?), or I simply cannot find the link any more. Generally speaking I am really just looking fo when the next game will be, or the next highlight, whether it is the Nadeshiko or the N-league.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II I'm surprised that Tokiwagi Gakuen High School beat Nittele Beleze in a penalty shootout, and went through to the quarter final.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II I thought you meant they beat the "Menina" first. But then the only source I could find is this and although the game is not posted yet, I see that NTV and Tokiwagi were about to meet. And I immediately recognised Nakada and Kyokawa side-by-side in the photo (#11 and #9). Wow when you think that almost 1/3 of the Nadeshiko NT play for Beleza, it is hard to believe ! Are they currently playing Sawa too ? Further down the page I also see Yuko Tanaka and Naoko Wada side by side for the Academy. But I see they lost to an N-Leagie side since then.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II According to some source, every regular player but Yamaguchi played in the match. Tokiwagi played defensively and the game ended in a scoreless draw. As for JFA Fukushima, they were defeated in the second round by Iga with a score of 0-2 after the 6-0 win for the first round. The quarter final, being held on 23rd, pairing is this: Tokiwagi - Fujieda Junshin High School Yunogo Belle - INAC Kobe Marize - Niigata Chiba - Urawa
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II This is the PK shootout: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoE2PAvM3K0&fmt=18"]YouTube - 10/12/19 ?????×???????? PK?[/ame]
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Good video. I did not want to see that it was Natsuko Hara who blew it ! And I do see Sawa I am sure. Quite an accomplishment for any High School ! And now they get the only other High School left in the event, who I think beat AnClas and AS Elfen. Also I see that Belle defeated NTV Menina (includes Murumatsu and Mina Tanaka I believe, very likely some u-20s too). Score was 2-1 to Belle, who now get INAC...interesting.
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Mami Yamaguchi to Hammarby : http://www.hammarbydamfotboll.se/in...till-hammarby&catid=38:foereningen&Itemid=167
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II Mami played for Umea for at least 2 years, so she will feel at home. Its a tragedy for USA-based Nedashiko fans - for just one glorious season, she played for Atlanta, and for most of that, alongside Aya Miyama. The photo in the link shows the uniforms (killer color that matched Mami's hair - by the way she won "best hair" in a bigsoccer "hottest" competition last year).
Re: Official Japanese WOMEN'S NT Thread [R] - part II I want comeback on the Fifa worldcup 2011. I my city team we have a lot of France National team player (3 in A and others with youth) so our coach care about Worldcup for France and so Japan. She said "I hope Japan and France will not in same group because i want follow more Utsugi game"... So she must be happy now. My club team missed 2 game for bad weather and many others clubs too so ranking is no true. Mumf asked about CL,my team is not qualified this year for CL because they finished 4th last season (only 1st & 2nd can take a ticket),actual teams in CL are Lyon & Juvisy. 2009/2010 MHSC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%9310_UEFA_Women%27s_Champions_League I want now share with you Utsugi words in the interview for French press (All interviews staying in French in my blog because i can't translate all this alone with right words). 24/08/2010 by MHSC official website "..."

Today, Rumi started her training with her new team and the Manager of MHSC women section know too the situation. Sydney Biton:"She will need a while to be good with her new life in Europe. I hope she will be very fast with 100% of capacity." On this point,MHSC coach is not worry. S.M'B:"Its was very good with her teammates,Rumi is a smiling girl,very kind and she always want learn. We talking in English with her but it's not always easy with her Japanese pronounce (laugh).

Rumi is as good i waited,it's a very good recruit. Japan eis famous for discipline and Rumi bring many in locker room and on the pitch. She bring something new,Ea different culture. Our opponen looking more serious MHSC. Its not nothing to add a foreigner player in the roster, by her experience she help the team to go ahead Sportively et humanly,it's positive." 25/09/2010 From Herve Didier,Saint -Etienne coach "After French national players Deville, Délie or Meilleroux was added a little exotism touch with Rumi Utsugi, first Japanese women player in France and defensive player from Japanese national team at position 5 in FIFA ranking.

Le draw seem difficult, it's will not easy but all 16 teams are good teams. We fall with Germany but Canada too and Nigéria. Anyway, we need to win if you want go to final. My wish was to fall in another group of Japan to can follow more games with our Japanese player. In Germany, it's will be so cool !
