Being Sarcastic...The Japan players doing the same thing

and they have a far better organized and well run FA.......goes to show you that playing for your country with pride and honor is a thing of the past.

[HL]

May be a thing of the past S. Spurs...but the Japan FA like the JFF (an others) are all running a business.

The footballers are 'employees'. They are dispensable--irrespective of who they are and their talent level.

In the end, it is the Organization that run things and have the last laugh.

The Football Organization is more important than the player.

LAST:
There are lots and lots of other football, prospects waiting to get noticed....
