Iceland!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW.. what is there to say, Never under estimate a nobody!
Iceland have showed all about being an underdog and having a great team!
Yesterday they beat England (#Exit)
So cool, there was nothing they could do.

And this, the Viking way of thanking their fans, AWESOME!

This One's For You (UEFA EURO 2016™ Official Song)

Euro 2016 begun about a half week ago!
I'm basically stuck in front of the TV every day!
My darling and I have bet on who's winning, the one who lose will treat the other one for a meal!

Here's the official song!

Enjoy!

LEGENDS GAME

8 days left until we are going to see the LEGENDS GAME between my fave team 

Liverpool FC and Manchester United.

My bf loves football so this will be a nice date, he might see a new side of me, a CRAZY side..haha

I'm already excited!

Plus it's the first time for me to enter the "new" stadium Friends Arena.

サッカー日本代表 チームバッグ

I bought a new training bag in Japan last month.

I got the official サッカー日本代表 チームバッグ one, I really like it.

I bought it at Flagstown (inside the Football museum in Ochanomizu)

When I got it I was lucky, they were on sale, only 5 900 yen, and they only had a few left. I had tried to find it at the Adidas stores in Harajuku and Shibuya but no luck.

I really needed a new bag for my gym wear, my old backpack, which I have had for many years has now a broken zipper...

Size：60x29x29cm

You can get it here Adidas store

内田篤人 [Naked] 2015 Calendar

Last week I finally got my hands on this one..

Japanese football player Uchida Atsuto's Anan 2015 calendar.

It says NAKED, but to be honest, with some pictures I'm a bit disappointed.

One version is naked and one is dressed. Let's just say that some months will be dressed and some naked during 2015 ^^

I'm still very happy with my purchase. And I hope captain Hasebe Makoto releases one next year!! LOL

True friendship?!

pic cred @ u_ysk12

I read Hasebe Makoto's blog the other day and I laughed at the last paragraph, I just love their friendship and the fact that Hasebe-san shared it with the world ^^

. Sorta makes me want to see the new Doraemon movie and Nobita-kun's hairstyle! (^^;;)

"先週の日本代表戦の際もフランクフルトからJALさんでフライトをしました。

その際に機内でドラエモンのSTAND BY MEという映画を観て感動していたら、代表合宿の食事中にU選手に「長谷部さんて、のび太君と同じ髪型してるよね！」と言われてのび太君に親近感を持ったという話はしておきます。（苦笑）"

Don't touch Zlatan Ibrahimovic!!

Sometimes I think he's too much, but there are other times I think he's just awesome.
I mean.. he's Zlatan right ^^
If some of you missed the game and this... you better watch it now!

Basically, This is why you don't touch Zlatan Ibrahimovic! (^^;;)

We have a WINNER!!!

And so...we have a winner of the 2014 World Cup #GERvsARG!!

Götze scored in the 112'!!!!!!

So what I have felt during the last couple of weeks is now true, GERMANY is the Champions for the 4th time!!!

Congrats!!!

I donno anymore..who'll win!?

This year's World Cup in football has been really weird, if you ask me.

All the team I believed in have been disappointing. Spain, England... and also Japan and Korea.

Of course the Asian countries are not as good as the European ones *Coughs* But that's because they lack physics. However if a Japanese footballer weight 67 kgs and a English one 89-100 kgs.. well.. you can guess.

Japan played a lousy game the other day, I was so sad, when they had 1-1 in half time I believed in them, so I was so pissed off and sad when the game was over.

Also, seeing this photo of captain Hasebe Makoto didn't make it better.

I'm so used to see him smiling and be focused. 

I feel so sorry for him and the team 

(T_T)

I wonder who'll win this year's FIFA World Cup... Germany!?

아자 아자 화이팅!!!

It's soon time for kick-off!

Korea vs Algeria!

I hope for a Korean victory!

I'll watch my fave players closely..hehe

My absolute fave one is of course Lee Chung Yong!!

I still remember when me and Masumi unni went to Lotte Hotel back in 2010 and greeted the team when they came home from S.Africa!! Cannot believe 4 years has already passed!!

Go Korea!! Pilsung Korea!!

勝利の笑みを 君と

Tonight is the next game for Japan!
They are playing against Colombia, so it will be a tough game!
But I hope for the best ^^

Ganbatte Nippon!

Lyrics
胸にでっかい誇りを掲げていこう 「まだ上に行けるぞ！」そう信じてるよ
高い壁だろうとも　どんな相手であっても 奪いに行くんだゴールを
予定どおりその日は来た 胸を高鳴らして行こう
弱音を捨て　目指すネクストステージ もはやなんのブレもない
少年の日描きなぐった 未来予想図を持って
打算なんか知らずに夢追い回した その片鱗に今　指先が触れた WOWWOW
思い出せばいい ここまでの道のり 流した汗と涙の轍を
鼻で笑う連中などシカトして四六時中 ただ無我夢中で猛練習　今人生を熱演中
なら　やってやりゃいいじゃん 楽しめばいいじゃん
もう今の君を誰も止められはしない
どうかオレらにも君の背中を押させて この声で WOWWOW

高い壁だろうとも　どんな相手であっても
奪いに行くんだゴールを日本！
最高のプレーには惜しみないエールを
不甲斐ないそれには愛を込めバッシングを
蹴落としてきたライバル　昨日までの相手も
仲間になって肩組んで声出してみよう
大丈夫　やれるんだ　君なら絶対に 戦って越えろ　かつてない限界に
さぁ何遍だって挑戦 目指せ　山の天辺 宣言すべくsingin’!
想いを込めて奏でるミュージック 夢　希望　プライド　胸に秘めた勇気
肩を組んで叫ぶこのミュージック 歌にして声にして　そしてススメ　自由に WOWWOW

高い壁だろうとも　どんな相手であっても 飛び越え勝利の笑みを君と
忘れかけた時ふっと　思い起こす嫌な記憶
臆病風が足にまとわりついたら
もう容赦なく蹴り飛ばして空に吠えるよ
時にはピンと胸を張って 時に肩をすぼめて
そんなアップサイドダウン　繰り返してきたんだ
失敗なんか怖くもない 自分を励ましてくれた人
育ててくれた場所 その無償の愛に応える日が来た
僕はこの手伸ばして この夢の全貌を手に入れるんだ
胸にでっかい誇りを掲げていこう 「まだ上に行けるぞ！」そう信じてるよ
高い壁だろうとも　どんな相手であっても 飛び越え勝利の笑みを君と
高い壁だろうとも　どんな相手であっても 飛び越え勝利の笑みを君と
高い壁だろうとも　どんな相手であっても 奪いに行くんだゴールを日本！！

日本代表応援します

It's soon time for kick-off!

They will broadcast it in the middle of the night, I hope I can stay up!!

Oh well...

スウェーデンから頑張ってください!! 

日本代表応援します

We Are One (Ole Ola)

It began last night (my local time), and I wonder how many times we'll hear this song!?
The official theme song for this year's world cup!
You can really hear the South American vibes in the music.... ^^

Enjoy

2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil!

It's a few hours left before kick-off!

It's time for the highlight of the year, Men's Football World Cup in Brazil!!

Sadly Sweden is not in it, this time either, but I have become used to it!

So this year I will cheer for the Japanese Samurai Blue team, and the Korean Taegeuk Warriors!

And also I will take a look at the Spanish and Brazilian teams too ^^

Who will you root for?! 

ONE - for the win

I found this by chance, and to me this song is one of the best NEWS song for a very long time!! (we are talking years!)
I kinda stopped listening to them back in 2008 and have just heard a little here and there, but well, now with the Football World Cup and I guess I couldn't miss this even if I tried XD
I'd say some parts, they should have given to Massu or Kato instead of Tegoshi because I think Tego is too high pitched, it would have had been better with a lower one.

Oh well.. listen and watch for yourself!

Here's ONE - for the win!

World Clap

Today's the Swedish National Day, which means a day off work!

To be honest, I didn't grow up celebrating this day, I think it started 10 years ago so, to be honest, it feels kinda weird.

Anyway... To celebrate a little I'll share the Swedish Cheering song for the upcoming World Cup in Football.

What's ironic is that Sweden won't be in it, however we can of course always cheer for all the other teams that made it ^^

Here's Panetoz with World Clap!

Let's gather up!!

The world cup in Brazil starts soon, however Sweden is not in it... AGAIN!

Such a disappointment!

I found this the other day online, so cute!! It's almost that I want to buy one and keep on my bed ^^

But it'd be kinda weird since I'm not Japanese. However I could buy just to support Hasebe, Honda and Uchida ^^

長谷部誠選手

So he might be the captain of the Japanese national team, and I do not really look much at them as well, I'm Swedish ^^

And when I have looked it has more been Uchida and Honda that has caught my attention.

But recently I have come over various shows with this fella - HASEBE MAKOTO.

And he just makes me laugh.

I mean the few times I have seen him, I haven't really thought too much. But I have to say, this is not what I imagined.

So from now on I'll look for more shows with him.

Kinda random I know, but hilarious ^^

If you know a good place where I can find more with him besides Youtube, give me a shout ^^

Football on top of the station!!

Football, or soccer as some call it is big all over the world and Korea is no exception.
Not long time ago, Adidas launched a football field on top of Yongsan Station in Seoul.

Now teams can rent this field to play :)
Good idea right!? ^^

I have seen this kind of thing in Japan before...and I think it's an awesome idea to also have it in Seoul.
And Yongsan is kinda central in Seoul so I guess it's gonna be crowded by teams who wants to rent it ^^

Awesome evening!!

I have no idea how this night turned into such an awesome evening!
First, YoonJeong unni invited me, HeaRan and Patrik on a great dinner, delicious food!! and of course great company.

As the evening went on... First, Sweden won against Hungary in the semi-final for the men's handball game!! Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch it as it was during the dinner.
Anyway I saw the re-cap and what a game!!
Also this is the first time in 12 years (Sydney Olympics 2000) we can see the men's team in a final!! It feels unreal and so awesome! The final is this coming Sunday!!

After dinner the men's football bronze match between S.Korea and Japan!!
What can we say, it's not just about winning the bronze... it's a prestige, I mean think of their history and all!! It's like England vs Ireland, Sweden vs Denmark... it's a must win game!
And what a game, 1-0 to Korea in first half and 2-0 in second... it also ended with 2-0!!!!
I also heard that the players do not need to do their mandatory military service now... as a bonus if they won this game XD kinda funny, wonder how much that extra bonus helped them winning ^^

This night turned out pretty awesome ^^
