China vs. Japan soccer

At 9 pm tonite, we'll get to go to our first every Olympic games!!  We are beyond excited.  So, baby sitter is in place and we're ready for a great, and really late, night.  It's China vs. Japan-which is an enormous match-up.  The Chinese really do hate the Japanese.  I didn't know much about it until moving here, but it's intense.  It's a long history lesson, but basically, the Japanese invaded China and commited tons of atrocities.  And still today have yet to acknowledge they happened. 

I mean, they will boycott Japanese made products, beat anyone who wears a japan flag, we even had a friend suggest to her classmates to learn Japanese so they could offend them better.  It's nuts.  So I'm sure it will be an intense match-up.  

Details to come...
