Japanese spies in Croatia….

Our friend Pasha at the Angola blog has revealed that Portugal is sending spies to observe some oponents friendlies. Well, Japan is going one further.

As a group mate of Croatia’s, Japan has sent a team of documentary film makers to Zagreb under the guise of making a “documentary” about Croatian soccer. One of the main peices, they say, will be on a very famous Croatian female soccer star…Maca Maradona, as she’s called. So let me see, 38 days before the start of the world cup, the largest sporting event in the world, the Japanese are interested in an ageing female soccer star….right.

The film-makers also say that they have some great footage of a recent game played in Zagreb and will be taking what they have filmed back with them to Japan for editing. C’mon guys. Just fess up. You’re there couse you’re sick and tired of eating sushi and wish to try some culinary delights Croatia has to offer….oh, and you wish to spy on our NT. It’s OK, we understand.

And anyway, I don’t know what they are so worried about. Lothar Matthaus has already said that they are going through the group along with Croatia.
