In these days, the most famous news in Taiwan is sport news. Jeremy Ln, a basketball player in NBA won a lot of games. He was Taiwanese, grow up in US, and has the citizenship of US.

I chose the news about Japanese sports because I like sports. Now, a preliminary of soccer Wold Cup has been hold. My father really likes to watch sports, especially soccer. So, now, He is obsessed with it. According to "News On Japan", on february 25, the J-League's former top goal scorer Ryoichi Maeda helped Japan beat Iceland 3-1 with an early goal on Friday in a warm-up game for a World Cup qualifier next week. I am glad to hear about this news. I can imagine that my father was delighted to watch it. It makes me want to watch a Japanese soccer game. On Wednesday Japan will take on Uzbekistan at home in the last game of the Asian third World Cup qualifying round in Group C. Both Japan and Uzbekistan have already reached the next stage. I hope that they will be able to move into the final selection!
This is going to be the coldest winter after an interval of six years in Japan. According to the Meteorological Agency, the average temperature is lower than usual, also this winter the record for snowfall was broken among many parts of Japan. It is because of semitropic jet stream.

Korea advanced to the final round of the Asian qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup with a 2-0 win over visiting Kuwait at Seoul World Cup stadium on Wednesday. Korea was on top of Group B with Lebanon at 10 points each, while Kuwait was third with eight points. The defeat to Kuwait could have ended Korea’s 2014 World Cup dream.
I write about Soccer World Cup, too! Though Japan and Korea is different group, Corea is also very strong team. I hope both countries will be able to move into final selection.
