Congratulations to the Japan National Women’s team on their World Cup Championship victory. It was a beautiful match to watch, as a matter of fact it seems more precise and better played than a lot of men’s matches I’ve seen. I’m not a soccer player and I’m not even an armchair wing (get it?), but I do understand a little of the game. It was high tension, and the Twittersphere and Facebook were full of friends watching and posting as well. <\/p>\n

One of the personal highlights of the night was a Twitter exchange with Fumiyuki Beppu<\/a>, the reigning Japan Time Trial AND road race national champion who rides for Team Radioshack<\/a>. He was tweeting, in French, that the Japanese were at an advantage because they understand English but the US women can’t understand Japanese. So I responded back in Japanese AND French that I am an American and can understand Japanese. He responded, “C’est Bien!!” Ha! Pretty cool. He tweets in Japanese, French, and English. I guess after last night you can say I do too, but it would be a stretch.<\/p>\n

Starstruck!\"<\/p>\n

My friend Ken, who is probably the only person in the world that follows me and Fumy Beppu on Twitter noticed.<\/p>\n

Another interesting tidbit from the Twittersphere – Ken and I tweeted at exactly the same time, “Oh. My. God.” Same punctuation, same capitalization. Same. Pretty scary.<\/p>\n
