A Charity succer match was held in Osaka.

This morning I logged in Facebook, and found some names of four former students of mine. I sent messages to them, and have received answers from two of them.I didn't know how to use it well, but I found it interesting because,if I can make contact with any one person that I know,through him/her,I can find other friends or aquaintances from his/her company.
This evening,a charity match of soccer between the Japan national team and the all-star team of J-League was held in Osaka. The result was the Japan national team's win by 2-1. But the most exciting scene was when Kazu Miura (44 years old ) got a beautiful goal in the second half. The purpose of this charity match was to encourage the people living in the areas stricken by the earthquake and tsunami. I hope the people in those areas were really encouraged. Among the players,there were two who were from the disaster areas - Kon-no from Sendai,Miyagi, and Ogasawara from Ofunato,Iwate. The stadium was packed with more than 40,000 people.
The number of dead people in the disaster announced today was 11,168 and that of missing people was 18,382.
