お久しぶりです！--Long Time No See!! 日本語版今回は日本語版のみになります。Today, I write only Japanese version.大変ご無沙汰してました！年末から年始にかけて、やれ引っ越しだ、ネットビジネスを始めたりでかなり有意義かつ密度の濃い時間を送っていました。それはそれでいい時間なのですが、どうしても趣味でやっているこっちのページがおろそかになってしまいました。。。すいません無事にメルマガも発行されまして、現在では読者さんも１，５００名を越えま
日本語版 今回は日本語版のみになります。 Today, I write only Japanese version.
I got this news a month ago, it said ABC and ESPN that are major broadcasting station in the US contracted the broadcasting right to FIFA from 2007 to 2014.
Its contract deposit is 11.7 billion yen, and it concludes 2010 and 2014 Men's World Cup, 2009 and 2013 Confederations Cup, 2007 and 2011 Women's World Cup and etc... (current rate : 1 USD = 120 Yen)
It's an exception isn't it?
Japanese broadcasting station paid 14 billion yen only for 2006 Men's World Cup, and SKYPerfecTV defrayed 13 billion yen for 2002 Men's World Cup.
Also in the US, Spanish broadcasting station Univision made a 38 billion yen contract by the same contents. No matter how it thinks, a demand of the people who come from South America is expected.
The American doesn't watch soccer because there is no opportunity to see it excluding the soccer speciality channel.
Why don't they broadcast soccer?
There is a strong relationship between media and sports in the US.
The sports programs are considered as one of the shows on TV.
In the American football game, the game is interrupted by a commercial.
In short, they think soccer is unsuitable for TV unlike baseball and Amrican football bacause it's non-stopping competition.
Why? It's because they can't put a commercial.
Sports media of the US are businesses that are huger than that of Europe. However, if their attitude doesn't change, soccer won't be established as a popular sport.
Since seven years ago, I have lost myself in playing "WinningEleven". First time, I played "WinningEleven3" of the PS version.
At that time, I was really surprised at details of its movement and intelligence of CPU.
I tried to lead Japan team to the champion of the World Cup..., because France World Cup has just finished. (Okano's speed was so useful.)
I'm crazy about American version WinningEleven now.
Its newest one is "WinningEleven8 International". This was put on the market at the same time as Japanese version "WinningEleven8 Liveware Evolution".
It is for PC, and we can play online mode free.
KONAMI hasn't sold WinningEleven for PC only in Japan. They really want to get online fee.
In addition, various patches for remodel have appeared on the market due to its platform is PC. It's so convinience!! It adds studiums, correct players' name, face graphic and ability. It also alter to J-League version(it's incredible!)
Here is information for patches and tools for online mode.
例) Japan beat Brazil to move to the first position in the Group A in 2006 World Cup. ２００６年ワールドカップで日本はブラジルを破り、グループＡの一位に躍り出た。 これが、現実になったらどれほど嬉しいですかね～。 しかし、過去ブラジルと惜しい試合をしたチームはたくさんありますが、最後には 勝ってしまうのがブラジルたる所以だと思います。
The most strongest impression was given me by this player in 2002 World Cup.
He is SB who contributes over offence and defence by making the best use of long feet and powerful physique. (his attacking skill is great because of his former career that is CF.) He is like Thuram who is French international player.
In quarter-final against Germany, he enclosed Neuville who was the keyman of the Germany.
I think there is only a few great R-SB player in the world, so he made me really glad to meet him.
He belonged to Hertha Berlin, Nurnberg in Bundesliga in the past, and now he belongs to Chicago Fires in MLS. I don't know why, but his favourite... seems No.22. (His uniform number in 2002 also was 22)
