Nakata quits the beautiful game

July 3rd, 2006 | By: ShiLou | 10 Comments »

Hidetoshi Nakata the golden boy of Japan and Asian soccer has announced his retirement from the beautiful game at the age of 29.

Nakata who had a below par World Cup will be remembered for putting Japanese soccer on the World map.

He has been a great ambassador for the sport and I would like to take this opportunity to wish him well.

DEFENDER JAPAN, WHY YOU’LL LAKE OF ATTENTION ? WHY FEEL CONFORTABLE IF KAWAGUCHI CAN AVOID THE BALL, SO YOU’LL SLEEP? AND THE STRIKER WHY KICK THE BALL LIKE AN ELEPHANT HIT ANT, THE ANT STILL ALIVE?

that’s kinda young to be retiring. i want to see one more world cup from him. i think that japan is really a good team but they tend to choke when it comes to really big games. nakata is a sort of talisman for the team and i hate to see him go.

Hidetoshi Nakata is a great athlete… he proved alot in soccer.. 20 years of hard work paid off… all his life his playing the sport and now he chose to change route.. his other dream to become a businessman that’s why he bought a building in new york… let’s just support him on what he want’s to pursue in life like how we support him in his games…. at the end of the day hidetoshi nakata is hidetoshi nakata…. and the spirit of the game will still live on forever.

I do not think that it passed to the world though Nakata is strong in Japan. It worries about whether translated neatly because a free translation software is used.
