Kazuyoshi Miura (TEAM AS ONE), MARCH 29, 2011 - Football : Kazuyoshi Miura celebrates his goal during "Gambaro, Japan" charity match between Japan and J.League select team "TEAM AS ONE" at Nagai Stadium in Osaka, Japan. Japan's national team took on a J-League select team in a charity match to benefit victims of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami held at the Nagai Stadium in Osaka on Saturday. The game was hastily arranged after New Zealand pulled out of a friendly fixture due to fears over radiation levels and all 38,000 match tickets were sold within an hour of going on sale. The J-League season was postponed after just one game after the earthquake and is now set to restart on April 23rd although four stadium are still unusable and awaiting repair. Over 40,000 spectators turned out to watch Japan's stars, includng Nagatomo, Honda and Hasebe play against a J League select XI managed by Dragan Stojkovic. The game was held in aid of the victims of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami and was a resounding success. The highlight was when 44 year old Kazuyoshi Miura scored for the J League team in the second half and celebrated with his famous Kazu dance. (Photo by Akihiro Sugimoto/AFLO SPORT) [1080]. « less
