Sportboulevard Dordrecht, 11 februari 2012. Dag twee van de Worldcup shorttrack. Een goede dag voor het Nederlandse shorttrack. Volle hal, goede sfeer en mooie Nederlandse prestaties. Een foto-impressie. alle foto's vanaf de tribune en onbewerkt. Door het gebruik van lichtspots was het lastig fotograferen. Twee foto's na elkaar (en hij maakt er tot 8 per seconde) konden totaal verschillend belicht zijn. Toch zat er een aantal mooie bij van deze geweldige actiesport.

Japan. Let's not forget them. Aside from how I had earlier on mentioned they broke their own FIFA record of scoring three goals in a single game this year, they also made it to Round 16, the quarter finals. Yes, a serious underdog of all underdogs in this Cup. They are ranked the lowest in the FIFA National Team Ranking chart and the last of the least likely team left standing...
They will face Paraguay today.
With Chile's loss, most of the characters in this unfolding movie has left the show. Yesterday, Mexico went down with a fight and England got grilled. One more underdog to go... Japan.

As the competition is winding down so is my interest (aside from the mistakes in the games). However, I will continue to follow the games to the end. Not that my interest would be diminished.
My attention and nearly exclusive interest in this World Cup was mostly sustained by those teams (most all gone; this even included the drama kings England) who brought a display of unusual magic and roller coaster ride to this year's games especially by, and never the least, the US squad. It seems that I will never stop talking about any of the quarter finals underdogs.
(Maybe if I stop siding with the "losing" teams my feelings would be different, but I won't side away from my underdogs! Insert power anthem.)
I am attracted to a collective determination in performance through obstacles and strife. The US being just some of the few befitting that criteria in this year's games. Whether or not the team would have won the Cup in the end, they have won something aside from their most highest positions in the competition: the people's imagination.
