Lucas Neil is a very good defender for Australia.
Holman's ability to come back from attack to steal the ball against the run of play does certainly show his credentials, hard-learnt from the very professional Dutch League, ...that is pure eclectic Netherlands play...brilliant and unexpected...sparkling...but you can only do it twice in a game.
But it is the speed and cohesion and attacking gusto of the Japanese team, and the greater physical fitness, that still indicates that Honda will probably score soon. He's shaping up now and has a good midfield feed to him.
Australia is tiring against the fitter faster Japanese boys.
Damn, but it's an interesting game now that the Australian Italian style defence attempt isn't working so well.
Better flow.
Cahill's always a threat up front, but Oz just has to get up front a lot more often for the percentages to come through.
The Refereeing is astoundingly good.

World Cup Football Soccer Qualifying Game Right Now, Half Time, Japan V Australia 0-0
Hmmm.
I'd expect Japan to win because their team is more loaded with talent and it's a more integrated, coherent team that plays well together far more often than the Australian Team does. Australia is doing okay. The Japanese team is fitter and wants to play faster football, but so far Australia is limiting that zeal with good structural slowing down of the game in that Italian-learnt tradition that Australia often uses. It's a good game.

My Sweet Reason
The term 'My Sweet Reason' comes from the Nobel Prize winning Australian Author Patrick White, about his Great Love in the World...his partner.
As a man I can understand this, and I can understand it far more than I can understand his best books. No matter what is the work, the meaning, the ambition in life, the Sweet Reason for a man such as I in being alive is in finding this most important person; this most important being.
Wang Wan Yi & Wang Yu Han at Sun Yat Sen Memorial, Nanjing, Peoples Republic of China, 2009
What do I remember of that day? The fresh coldness of the misty air, the many, many thousands of beautiful French trees, the long, rising walk, the many, many steps, the hot black boiled corn to chew, the Chungwah cigarette, the profound and serious impressive mausoleum for the First Leader in Modern United China...and being asked to pose for photos with other visitors because I looked like Comrade Lenin, but taller, and was proud to be looking like this...but my wife's hand touching my hand, and the warmth of us together, looking the same way into the future, well, this is my Sweet Reason.

Gillard's Greatest Error #101. Who in their right mind would do this? To us? To our future...to put us 40 years behind the Asian Century...by choice?
Gillard's Greatest Error that will lead to a profound recession in Australia is this:
The deployment of US Marines in Darwin to support the American Plan of 'controlling' China.
China is not a war-nation. It is a Trading nation. Ever since the deployment, the Chinese have bought less and less of our minerals, less and less to the extent that Australia is stuffed economically and will move to a prolonged recession.
China is happy to buy Australian stuff from a friend but not necessarily buy so much from the friend of a USA intent on dominating Asia for its own powerful military reasons.
You just can't fuck with Chinese Capitalism. They know us, they study us, they analyse us all the time. There are more Chinese Analysts studying the Australian Economy than there are Australian Analysts studying the Australian Economy. China INVESTS in UNDERSTANDING EVERYONE, AND THEMSELVES.
Trade is fine, trade is great, but set up a military base in Australia for America to put MILITARY PRESSURE on China when all it wants to do is control it's trade routes, and trade effectively, well, they don't have to buy stuff from us.
China has other friends. Other sources, and plenty of them. China takes this very seriously, and they do not forgive.
The remarkably small and racist mind of the Australian Government has led to Australia now not having enough money for education, for health, for disability, for Government, for anything really.
China is not a warring nation; it is a trading nation based upon very fast, very effective Chinese capitalism.
By Australia supporting the USA and being so 'smart' as to try to 'outsmart' China, Australia is showing that it is willing to hurt China for the benefit of disappearing up the arse of a militarily aggressive faltering dystopia America.
The extent of this deep insult to our Number One Trading Partner will not be forgotten or forgiven. ..and ALL Australians will suffer because of this stupid, arrogant, mistake, this massive dopey poverty of racist ideation in Judgment...suffer for decades. Business will suffer, the economy will fail.
Good plan, Julia, blow Australia's wealth for 20 years to support military aggression against our most essential sensitive non-aggressive trading partner. Really fucking smart. Thanks for stuffing up the Disabled and the Education system, the Economy, the Superannuation, the Works, the Australian Nation, for 20 more years. What a Visionary is Gillard! What a contemptible, hateful dirty racist little vision it is.
What NOT to say to a policeman holding a breathalyser and asking you to speak into the device and count from one to ten...
