I think this is "REALLY" Japan national team team.

FW is two top of Oku and Nakayama. "Super lefty" Nanami and Fujita control ball in center of field. Hattori and Shimizu wait for a ball at thier back. DF is the member of the Atlanta Olympic team of Suzuki and Tanaka. Gk is a guardian deity "Oogami".
All these members are the players of the JUBILO IWATA.

7members were selected! Mar.8,1999
Nakayama,Fujita,Nanami,Oku,Suzuki,Hattori,Tanaka were selected to Japan national team for match vs. Brazil. I hope that Fujita and Suzuki participates in the game.
I'm very sorry, DUNGA doesn't seem to come to Japan.
5members were selected!! Mar.23,1999
Nakayama,Fujita,Nanami,Oku,Hattori were remaind. But Suzuki and Tanaka did not.
Five Jubilo plyers and Five S-Pulse playes... SHIZUOKA pref. is "Strong !".
It is not bad game. Japan 0-2 Brazil Mar.31,1999
It is very good game as a football game! Brazil never makes a simple mistake. I thought it is the condition that it faced a victory.
It is not bad. May.25,1999
Nakayama,Fujita,Nanami,Oku and Hattori were selected for Japan national team at KIRIN CUP '99.
Takahara was seleceted for for U 22 Japan national team.
Anxiety Jun.6,1999
Japan was lowest rank with 2 draw game. There is a worry toward "Copa America".

Copa America 1999
At last... Jun.8,1999
A national team member for Copa America and Olympic were announced. Nakayama,Fujita,Nanami,Oku and Hattori were selected from Jubilo. Takahara wasn't chosen because of the injury.
At last, the season of the game has come. Torucie will be required "good result".
Brave fight??? (Jun.30,1999)
Japan national team 2-3 Peru national team : (Goal : Ropes, A.Miura)
Japan was first to score. But, two goals were taken, and it was run in reverse. Though it became a tie, it was pushed away after all. It may say even if it makes a good fight because two goals were taken with serious Peru which had fought. It was good because Japan has not be shut out.
Complete defeat (Jul.2,1999)
Japan national team 0-4 Paraguay national team
Paraguay exceeded precision of path, ball keep, precision of ball-trap and so on... in the all. Taken 4 goals were perfet goals.
Even though Chilavelt is absent, Praguay is strong!
Complete defeat (Jul.2,1999)
Japan national team 1-1 Bolivia national team
Japan was defeated in the preliminary league. It seemed that they didn't finish taking it out the power which originally it had.

Uhm... (Sep.9,1999)
Japan national team 1-1 Iran national team (Goal : Oku)
Japan-national team seems that there was no vigor. FW is especially seriously ill. A worry is in many.
It's so wonderful !!! (Oct.11,1999)
J-League Japan-Dreams 1-3 J-League World-Dreams
Goal (Japan:Jo, World:Robelt Baggio2, Kim Do Hung)
R.Baggio is so wondeful player. His pass is wonder ful! His shoot is wonder ful!! His ability of ball-keeping is wonder full!!! I reconfirmed it today.
Reonald shows wonderful play, too.
Though it was an exhibition game, both team showed very "hot" play. We should say the thing of Jubilo, just a little. Oku seems to be effective when he was in ahead of the field. A condition of Adilson is being returned.

Naturally ! Jun.28,1999
Japan became 1st prize in gropu-6. And advanced to the Asia finel preliminary. It is natural if it thinks about present Japanese force. Some subjects were found.

Win All ! Jul.4,1999
Japan had a victory for all the matches in first preliminary league. Lost goal is only one. It is wonderful. We expect Japan's activity in the final preliminary.

Victory! (Sep.8,1999)
Japan national team 4-1 South Korea national team (Goal : Fukuda, Hirase2, Endo)
Japan got a victory! The last(latest) victory against South Korea was about 30 years ago. So it is big victory.
Winning by a narrow margin (Sep.27,1999)
Japan national team 1-0 South Korea national team (Goal : Fukuda)
It was a violent game so that the red card was presented.
But, the fact which that it won is important. From now, warm up to Japan's work, we want Japan to take the participation right to the Olympic Games.

Win!!! Japan 2 - 0 Kazavstan (Gaal : Nakata, Inamoto) Oct.9,1999
In the 1st-half Japan got a match-conditon, but in the 2nd Kazav got.
Consecutively Win! Japan 3 - 1 Thailand (Gaal : Hirase2, Takahara) Oct.18,1999
Japan won consecutively. In the 1st-half, the offense and defense were seemed to be almost even. But in the 2nd-half, Japan got 3 goals.
Takahara got goal finally. His future activity is being expected.
Go to Sydney ! Japan 3 - 1 Kazavstan (Gaal : Hirase2, Nakamura) Nov.6,1999
Japan acquired the right which participated in the Olympic Games. This becomes the 6-th participation.
It was modified firmly in the latter half though the first half was the pace of Kazavstan. Hirase was powerful, and Nakamura kick was excellent!
Takahara did a good function, too.
Won!!! Japan 3 - 1 Thailand (Gaal : Hirase2, Kojima, Myojin, Ichikawa, Fujimoto) Nov.13,1999
Japan won!!! Tt thought that they might be off their guard because participation in the Olympic Games has already been decided. But it was not!
When it tried to see it by a player individual, the figure which one did and which did one's best. However, it seemed that the whole balance of the team was bad in comparison with the game until now.
Well, we want it to do their best by the Olympic-Game.

Women national team (National team / Olympic, Youth)

It is very sorry... Jun.26,1999
Japan became the lowest rank in preliminary league , and it couldn't participate in the finals tournament. And, participation in Sydney Olympic became hopeless, too.
Japanese soccer is still from now!
