Nihon to sukottorando no sakkaa no shiai o mimashita.

I watched the Japan vs. Scotland game in the FIFA Under-20 World Cup. I like watching international games because there is great atmosphere created by the fans of the competing countries. Since I’ve never seen the Japanese team play live, it was very nice. It was quite an exciting game and Japan defeated Scotland 3-1. Click here to learn soccer vocabulary.

Thanks for the sakaa vocab.

I wonder why Japan calls it soccer (like the U.S.) when the rest of the world calls it football?
