A few days ago, the Sports section of the
International Business Times reported that
Japan's soccer league, the J-League, is set to return to playing matches on April 23rd. Currently, most of the Japanese soccer stadiums are being repaired, but some matches have already been rescheduled. Others have yet to be rescheduled, and one tournament is still temporarily on pause. While I do think it's great that the Japanese are acting fast towards being able to play soccer again, I also think that they're also acting too fast. The country is still facing problems from the tsunami/earthquake, and I think that the country should first try to fix those major problems first before trying to get sports in the country up and running again. That's just my opinion though.
Maybe, but the people of Japan need sports more than ever. It's like New Orleans and the Saints- the Saints were a source of pride and hope while the city of New Orleans recovered from its largest catastrophe.

While the Japanese government should probably focus more on earthquake/ tsunami relief, playing soccer can provide a source of fun and enjoyment during a time of great pain and suffering. But, hopefully they are better than the Chinese soccer team... otherwise more pain may arise.

The saints are a source of anger an aneurysms. I hate them. Alternatively, the Atlanta Falcons are a high-quality football team which has an excellent chance to make the playoffs.

PS: Japan is capable of running soccer and cleanup efforts at the same time. How many people does it take to say, you two are in the bracket here, in this stadium, enjoy some entertainment instead of thinking about how you're going to live in a tent?
