Thanks for that, he's certainly a driven individual. I was really taken aback by the amount of Japanese people at the stadium yesterday. Incredible. When I first moved to Japan in 2001 and played football there, no one had a clue whose shirt I was wearing. It's kind of surreal now.

Yeah, I mean it was one thing leaving him on the bench for the first game, but EVERY time he came on, he created something. Couldn't get my head round the manager's decision.

It's probably because the South Americans say his name properly ;) Seriously though all the English staff, Ka-roo??

As long as they get round to changing the 'Crystal Palace's greatest fear' thread title first.

I thought we were talking about professional athletes? Why compare them to Asian neighbours? I imagine it's top 3 for living conditions in the world. Surely a bushido warrior like yourself is aware of that?

It's not the 80s anymore! Here's a quote from the guy you originally linked to and his views on the Japanese workplace. If you'd spent any time in Japan, you'd recognise it immediately. It is always a surprise to foreign businessmen arriving in Japan that Japanese business is antiquated compared...

It's Kiyoshi, not Miyoshi. Amusingly he has exactly the same name as a large chain of chemist's here. Well done for finding a blog from 4 years ago which you think backs up your argument. Like how he thinks the nickname the JFA came up with in 2006 exemplifies how the 'Samurai spirit' is still...

You forget with his performances on the pitch how young he is!

This is no exaggeration. He just keeps doing it every game. It's incredible to watch.

I was being sarcastic😉 As always with TB, there doesn't seem to be a single soul who agrees with him.

Ahhh the Bushido Spirit of Mitoma-san, please enlighten us Biggums-sensei. 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

:ROFLMAO: I honestly wish I had your confidence to debate things online. It's quite something. I would never consider myself an expert on matters Japanese, unlike yourself. Unless you have a serious connection with the country to which you have never alluded to before, I imagine it's just your...

Too busy meditating, and making pilgrimages to ancient shrines no doubt :rolleyes: You're a bit of a walking cliche aren't you? I'm sure Mitoma is as motivated as anyone to play at the top of the game and win things.

This is a bit of a myth. Mitoma is well known in Japan and the profile of Brighton has risen, but apart from some hardcore fans, I doubt Brighton has made much money from shirts sold to Japanese.

At the end he's thanking him for his great play.

Get the hankies ready before you watch this, poor lad.

Not great timing that was it!
