Japan v Australia Women`s Football

7月

13日

On Wednesday Japan played Australia in a women`s football friendly (= not a competition or tournament). Japan were much better than Australia and won easily, 3-0. This is Japan`s last game before the Olympics. Australia are not playing in the Olympics, so I`ll definitely support Japan.

Japan`s men`s under-23 Olympic team played New Zealand on Wednesday and were much stronger, but N.Z. scored in the last minute of extra time, so the final score was 1-1. After the game, one of the Japanese players was crying, even though the game was just a friendly. That was pretty funny.

Algarve Cup Final

Japan`s women`s football team beat the United States 1-0 to reach the final of the annual Algarve Cup in Portugal - excellent! Unfortunately they lost 4-3 to Germany in the final, but I think they can be proud of that result. Well done, Nadeshiko! And well done Aya Miyama - she received the tournament`s Best Player award.
Did you watch any of the games?

Australia lost their semi-final match against New Zealand, so the final this weekend will be New Zealand versus France. France are definitely the underdogs [= they are expected to lose], so I think I might support them if I watch it. Or I might go for a walk. Suddenly I`m not so interested in the rugby world cup anymore...

Congratulations to Cadel Evans, winner of 2011 Tour de France. He is the first Australian to ever win it.

The Tour de France is a world-famous sporting event with a long history, so this is big news for Australians.
