  Italian food

  Posted: October 17th, 2008, 8:45pm EDT by Rick

  Do you like Italian food? I like it very much. Pizza is great, and so is pasta. Unfortunately, in Japan it's difficult to get various kinds of pasta, and especially whole wheat pasta is difficult to obtain, except in one kind of spaghetti. Two relatively good places to get pasta are Premier Cru and Tsuruya

  Japan vs. Uzbekistan

  Posted: October 17th, 2008, 7:04pm EDT by Rick

  Japan played another World Cup qualifier last Thursday, this time at home against Uzbekistan. It was a very disappointing match. The coach, Takeshi Okada, used a similar system to the one he used in the previous friendly match against the United Arab Emirates. Just as in that match, the match ended in a draw (1-1). I have often heard that Japan is not traditionally very good at playing with one striker, and this match (and the previous one) appeared to confirm that, with scoring chances being few and far between.
  
  Okada is traditionally known as a defensive coach, but the ways in which Japan concedes goals suggests that the defensive aspects are not going so well. It would seem unrealistic to expect Japan to keep a clean sheet, so wins are going to depend on scoring two or more goals on a regular basis. And that, it seems to me, depends on having two strikers. The evidence of the last two matches suggests that Koroki is the only really aggressive striker they have available.

  Writing IV, Session 4: October 17th

  Posted: October 17th, 2008, 6:39pm EDT by Rick

  On today's menu:
  

  1. Juppun ha juubun
  2. Recording your assignment on a place, and uploading the recording to podOmatic (continued from last week). Everyone needs to do this today.

  To give you plenty of time for recording, we won't do a list in class, but the topic of this week's list is Books I Like, or Books I Recommend. Please make this list whenever you have time.
  
  Also, please remember that you should be writing 5 posts a week. A typical week's posts would be:
  

  1. Juppun ha juubun (in class)
  2. A list (usually in class)
  3. A book review (usually outside of class)
  4. Some kind of diary post (usually outside of class)
  5. Something related to the current assignment. This might be the main assignment itself, essay prep, or a post (episode) on podOmatic.
