I'd decided to have an early night so rather than venturing out I bought a few beers from the convenience store by the entrance to my hotel. I was watching a baseball game on the tv (Saitama Lions v. Yomiuri Giants) when I realised that the England v. Japan game might be one. One of the channels always seemed to have football on so I figured, correctly, that this would probably have the game on.
The Japanese commentators are quite amusing - their favourite player judging by how excited they sound when he has the ball is definitely Wayne Rooney.
There are lots of Japanese adverts around the pitch which probably reflects that the tv audience in Japan will be bigger than in the UK -- kick off was at 9.15pm Japan time.
