I just watched the Japan-Australia World Cup qualifying match, which ended in a scoreless draw. But since I wasn't home to see it o live TV, I downloaded it, and I got the Australian broadcast with the Australian commentaries. And it was so refreshing! The Australian commentators actually said nice things about the Japanese team when they did something well. If you listen to a Japanese broadcast, it's all rah-rah Japan with some whining about bad referees or being too sportsmanlike to compete with brutal, physical teams like the Australians. The Australian guys were level-headed and fair, even going so far as to point out times when they should have been called for fouls. It was a welcome change from the normal coverage of the Japanese team.
