Football and politics have relationship? Japan football team in South Africa on World Cup qualification beat Denmark football team last 16 after Japanese prime minister JianZhiRen on June 25th morning this speech, pointed out: "I sincerely wish this feat. Japan national people's undoubtedly will thus gain is encouraged and pride." This news, can make people feel football and political relations. Perhaps because of this, the medium only on appeared such comments - "football can affect a person, a nation and even the world person's life, it may inspire revolution, causing war, also can create peace, elevating the whole country's reputation". Football and diplomatic relationship? June 26, held in Toronto, Canada, South Korea summit in south Korean President lee myung-bak topics about the World Cup, on the one hand, mentioned in the first round against South Korea in knockout beat Uruguay, on the other hand said "we hope Japan as representatives of Asia into 8 stronger." This encouraged the practice, let Japan's new prime minister JianZhiRen is very useful, promptly said "will tell Japan, thank you very much". Thus, South Korea also is in "tianan great ship" won the Japanese additional support. This can be regarded as "football diplomacy" strength. Of course, Japan failed to fulfiled. I with Japanese Toshiba company a "fans" about this, he thinks the World Cup has become a national reconciliation CHN big media. He told reporters: "2002 World Cup jointly with Japan and South Korea, Japanese and Korean people are felt in the future should work together in the world do something. Before this, Japanese and south Korean exchanges between the two countries in the economic, cultural, political communication, and jointly japan-korea World Cup has become the two countries in the international cooperation and exchange of starting point. This time, our japan-korea World Cup, together with into South Africa to the last 16, let us each other have too much sense of self-identity. After all, we are in Asia, has the common values, we should be thoroughly reconciliation, together to grow." Obviously, football here again and "geopolitical" hook. I am still with Tokyo a Japanese teacher talk about Japan fans sing "your generation" thing, he asked him whether this represents a patriotic emotion? He smiled, says the Japanese education has been to school or should sing "your generation" have a different opinion. Many teachers in singing "your generation" they refuse to stand up. However, a country always to be representative of the songs, now that the your generation "has been designated as Japan's national flag, fans singing it, certainly also is a kind of expression of patriotism. He also told me: "patriotic" this vocabulary, in Japan actually is not commonly used, even has become a taboo, because this vocabulary already in the war years by militarists oiled, now is Japan right-wing organization like hanging in ZuiTou vocabulary, so many even sing "your generation", is not necessarily "patriotic". Japan's asahi June 26 in editorial said Japan football team uplift ideal, constantly adjust itself to go forward to the orbit of ideal pursue, their demeanor incentive knows how many people, Their record is to block days of Japanese society a best gift. The Japanese sports news noted that have experienced the "economic lost decade" and "lost decade" political Japanese, very need from outside "strong stimulation". The Japanese team uncommon performance, it is a kind of Japanese national "strong stimulation". Thus, also can see football social forces. The yomiuri shimbun said Japan in editorial team half of the players ever abroad football club service, they because there are this experience, just foreign football experience learned in, just have this progress. This matter, for Japan's economic, political should be influenced. (written in 30 June 2010) & # 9632;
