Bright lights, big city: the FIFA Club World Cup rolls into town

Thursday, 06 December 07, 07:47 AM

こんばんは and welcome to Tokyo for the FIFA Club World Cup!

I've been fortunate enough to visit Tokyo several times, the last of which wasn't necessarily the most enjoyable day I've had recently! I always enjoy a trip to the big smoke though, and speaking of smoke, check out the photo I took from the Shinkansen on the way up here!

Nothing says "land of contrast" like some good old fashioned air pollution juxtaposed against the background of one nature's most iconic landmarks.

I also took a photo of the view outside my hotel window, just in case anyone thought I was secretly watching the tournament at home on the tele! I did that last year, but somehow my constant yelling of helpful tips at Ronaldinho never got through to the buck-toothed wizard. Maybe I'll have better luck this year when Milan and their Aussie goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac hit centre stage, although with 40,000 maniacal Urawa fans potentially coming along for the ride, I might struggle to be heard!

Anyway, feel free to sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights, sounds and... smoke, of the 2007 FIFA Club World Cup!
