Summary
Japan became the first team to qualify for the 2010 World Cup by winning 1-0 away at Uzbekistan on Saturday. There was a drama in the 89th minutes when Japan midfielder Makoto Hasebe was shown a straight red card for raising his arm into the face of Djeparov in a blocking action. The Wolfsburg player was reluctant to leave the pitch, while Japan coach Takeshi Okada was sent to the stands for protesting the decision.

My opinion
I think it is very good for Japan. The depression is very bad now. But I think this thing make the situation better than now. People will be cheered up by this news. And when World Cup starts it bring economic growth.
