yap...im not taking..but u r... but neither Namibia or Kenya is African champion even though only a handful of African plays cricket..!!
But Japan is the champion of the Asian Federation, in a geographic area with the most number of coutries..so when u compare Japan with kenya, u r actually undermining their credibility... got it ??

| 5 | Played | 5 |
| 1 | Won | 3 |
| 1 | Drawn | 1 |
| 3 | Lost | 1 |
| 1 | Goals | 9 |

| 9-Jun-2001 | | ULSAN (Korea Republic) | | Australia vs. Brazil | 1:0 (0:0) | FIFA Confederations Cup Korea/Japan 2001 |

see, fans would always be optimist..and bout Aus playing Brazil, when realistically no one expects to beat them, statistically u cant blame an socceroo fan to be over optimist riding on the joy of the first wc win.. after all they did beat Brazil once in thier 5 times meeting so far.. so i guess the football sense is quite all right ..
ask any Croats today..i bet all of them would say they r lookin to beat Brazil...
now thrash is a word of over-excitement... and everyone knows that...
isnt it the same when we Bangladeshis want to win over Australia, or India..
when the truth is we beat them only once... but it still doesnt hold us to be over optimist ...when the matter of truth is we only won some odd 10 or 11 odi's against the top ranking teams, (minus kenya, hong kong and recent Zimbabwe) after playin them for over 100+ matches...
everyone here is realistic..it seems like u r the only one who's taking things literary and gettin carried away...
thats ok mate... we all r suffering fm the current disease known as
"
the greatest show on earth"
Cheers !!!
