Description
The 2002 World Cup in Japan promised to be different. The first tournament in Asia saw the first Asian semi-finalists and the first time for years that a tournament passed off with no England fans arrested for public-order offences. Perhaps this was because the majority of them were Japanese. In this insightful and humorous book, Moran, a Japan-based English journalist who speaks Japanese, allows you to share what it was like to be there as he travels 6,400 miles to see 14 games and meets visiting and local fans. Moran's many years' experience living in Japan help conversations relive the highs and lows in the stadiums, comments in the press box, sounds and sights on the streets, and observations in restaurants, bars and parks all over Japan. We are Nippon - the title comes from a familiar Japanese football chant - is the perfect souvenir for those who attended the World Cup in Japan, and the perfect illustration for those who couldn't make it.
