Pim Verbeek explained some of the apparent losses of his latest Socceroos team by deciding on a new domestic form and not an international reputation.

Only six former handball players decorated Verbeek’s 21-member travel party to start the 2011 Asian Cup qualifiers next Wednesday in Jakarta with only two – Captain Craig Moore and striker Archie Thompson – with every level of senior international experience.

Top midfielder Jason Culina will compete in play bazaar the TogelAsian Cup qualifiers at the end of the European season, joining the new Gold Coast United team for three years.

However, the Dutch cabinet remains empty for group matches against Indonesia this month and Kuwait in March, forcing the selection of a rookie national team L-platers.

The team includes 33-year-old Melbourne Victory midfielder Tom Pondeljak, who won his last four Socceroos matches in 2002, before Verbeek arrived. Matt McKay of Queensland was also recalled.

Then along came the Premier League in 1993 with its inflated marketing and the Cup almost immediately began to lose its sheen. Add the bloated ‘Champions’ League to the equation and the writing was on the wall for the old favourite. Winning the Cup could no longer be as important as finishing in the top four and thereby guaranteeing your income for the following season. While older generations of fans were priced out, newer ones arrived with no comprehension of the Cup’s special status. Foreign coaches arrived in England equally bemused why people should take it so seriously and began to field weakened teams, with the league their big focus.

What a shame. This was the oldest competition of the world’s greatest sport we poisoned, a special affair whose magic lay not in two billionaire owners trying to outspend each other but in its unique ability to allow minnows a taste of greatness, a format which in theory could see a parks team of amateurs end up playing Manchester United. When my home town club Woking, a semi-professional outfit from the 7th national division won 4-2 at West Bromwich Albion in 1991 before losing 0-1 at Everton, our unmitigated ecstasy was not merely due to our humdrum home town being Delhi Bazaar Satta King centre-stage, but because something impossible on paper had become reality on grass. And only the Cup could do that year after year.

David v Goliath can still be thrown up by the draw, but everyone these days shrugs and backs Goliath. There are no non-league teams left in this year’s competition and I think I’ll skip Chelsea and Man Utd’s clashes with lower-league opposition tomorrow; despite their inevitably weakened lineups the giants will still prevail.

Perhaps the saddest confirmation of the Cup’s toppling from its perch this week was the news that West Ham had emailed their fans, pleading with them to buy tickets for Arsenal’s 3rd round visit. The Hammers beat the Gunners in one of the most memorable finals of all, the ‘Cockney Cup Final’ of 1980, when Trevor Brooking’s header won the day for the second division team, the last time a club from outside the top flight had lifted the glittering prize.

Gamba Osaka make it two in a row

Cometh the hour, cometh Yasuhito Endo as one of Asian football’s genuine stars took control of the 89th Emperor’s Cup final at the National Stadium in Tokyo.

Júbilo clearly needed an injection of fresh faces if they were were to continue their dominance of Asian football, but rather than see their declining veterans depart, fans instead saw top scorer Naohiro Takahara exit for the German Bundesliga.

Fast forward to 2010 and the club’s Keluaran HKcrippling lack of foresight has had a dramatic knock-on effect. In a land where experience is venerated above all else, Júbilo’s failure to renew their playing play bazaar stocks has seen the club suffer a dramatic fall from grace.

No longer regarded as a powerhouse of Asian football, the one-time continental champions have even been overtaken by Shimizu S-Pulse as the strongest club in the region.

Average attendances have dropped to their lowest point this decade, Júbilo have not won a piece of silverware since 2003 and a new nadir was reached in 2008 when this once-proud club was forced into the relegation/promotion playoff to salvage their top-flight status at the expense of Vegalta Sendai.

Not even the form of striker Ryoichi Maeda has been enough to fire Júbilo out of their slump, after the Japan striker became the first Júbilo player since Takahara to top the goal-scoring charts while blasting home 20 goals for his struggling side last season.

Last weekend just 7,258 fans turned out at

Júbilo’s compact Yamaha Stadium to witness the home side lose to Kyoto Sanga on their own turf for the first time in ten attempts, and a similar crowd figure is expected for this weekend’s home clash with Gamba Osaka.

No longer the hot ticket in town,

Júbilo have gone from packing out their atmospheric stadium to playing in front of half-empty stands.

They’ve done so playing some of the most unattractive football around, prompting the likes of midfielder Yoshiaki Ota to simply walk out on the club, while exciting youngster Takuya Matsuura has inexplicably spent more time on the bench than on the pitch.

Things don’t look like changing any time soon under the guidance of conservative coach Masaaki Yanagishita – who played for

Júbilo’s forerunner Yamaha Motors FC – and the club’s highest profile signings this season were cut-price Korean duo Lee Gang-Jin and Park Joo-Ho.

Yanagishita’s side are currently anchored to the bottom of the J. League standings, and the Shizuoka outfit desperately need a change of fortune if they are to avoid a relegation dogfight in 2010.

The hardy souls who turn out on Saturday will desperately hope for three points against an out-of-sorts Gamba Osaka.

However, the days of

Júbilo Iwata dominating the J. League are long gone, and with a limited cash flow and a powerful local rival to contend with, there could be dark days ahead for one of the J. League’s traditional giants.

Part I of this two-part article examined the general nature and history of pachinko. Part II will talk about the technology used and how the technological and cultural changes in Japan affect the industry.

Pachinko Hardware

Pachinko machines cost about 150,000 yen (approx. US$1,350), and parlor owners usually buy them outright. Even a small parlor will have at least 100 to choose from. Larger parlors house 500 or more.

Although variations abound, and terminology seems to vary somewhat, there are three main types of pachinko machine: Hanemono, Deji-Pachi and Kenrimono.

Hanemono (hane means “wing,” and as a suffix, mono means “type”) is the easiest to play. This type of machine has a central scoring slot with wing-like appendages which momentarily open under certain conditions, allowing balls to enter more easily. In hanemono, the placement of the pins remains a factor in winning. They are less expensive to play because they are less risky, but the wins are less spectacular.

Deji-Pachi (a contraction of the katakana rendering of “digital pachinko”) refers to a type of machine in which the payoffs are controlled by a computer–hence the name. Deji-pachi machines feature an LED or LCD display in the center, activated when a ball enters a particular slot. The central display usually resembles the drums on a slot machine by play bazaar , but pachi-suro, or “pachinko slots” are a different category altogether (see below). On deji-pachi machines, placement of pins is of less consequence than on a hanemono machine. When the central display shows 7-7-7, or some other winning combination, a pay-off sequence known as a “fever” begins, and these machines are sometimes referred to as fiiba type.

Kenrimono (kenri means “right/claim/privilege,” and mono means “type”) machines are for serious gambler-types. The name is a reference to certain “rights” which accrue in the course of play. Success on a kenrimono machine requires a detailed knowledge of these “rights” and how to take advantage of them. With one model of kenrimono, the player has a 1 in 300 chance of winning; however, just one win will up the rate ten times (to 1 in 30), and can garner between 800 and 6,500 balls. After the player gets one win, all balls have to be aimed at a specific spot on the right side of the machine. Players are often seen sitting at these machines with several buckets of balls, usually a sure sign they are out to make money. Players can win big but also lose big at these machines. Beginners beware!!

A popular recent entry in the pachinko parlors are the pachi-suro machines (a contraction of the katakana rendering of “pachinko-slot”). These are essentially just slot machines which use tokens rather than real coins. The tokens can be traded for prizes just like pachinko balls.

Picking a Winner

In the older pre-electronic days, the positioning of the inochi no kugi (the “life pins” positioned immediately above the scoring slots) was the tip-off for a hot machine, and parlors re-positioned pins after closing for the night. With the advent of electronic circuits that control wins, the pin connoisseur has been left in the dust. Pins are generally repositioned to increase the number of wins only when a new parlor opens or an old parlor reopens with new machines, in hopes that customers who win big will come back for more.

Although pin positions now have little meaning, players still line up in the mornings. Mr. Nakamura Kinzo, a 52-year-old Tokyo restaurant owner and self-styled “pachinko pro,” explains that “the electronic circuits are altered only once every three or four days. Serious players will be in the parlor at closing time checking out which machines are ringing up big wins. Those are the machines they make a beeline for the next morning. Especially if they are kenrimono machines, they’ll give spectacular wins. Forget about the pins…”

Even though much of the technique has been taken out of the game, Mr. Nakamura is unconcerned. What’s important, he says, are the cash payoffs. “If it weren’t for the payoffs, I wouldn’t bother to play. It’d be just like a video game. Why waste your money on nothing?”

On his best day Mr. Nakamura says he made 92,000 yen ($836) in three hours, starting out with just 3,000 yen. On his worst, he lost 55,000 yen ($500) in about the same period of time. His favorite machine is the hanemono type. “Hanemono is fun,” he says. “The trouble is you can’t find them much anymore. There is less of a risk and you can play longer. Neighborhood parlors are best. Here in Sendagi, we can play four machines at the same time. Other places won’t let you do that.”

The current economic hard times may be the pachinko parlor’s best friend. At a time when people are cutting corners and are worried about the economy, pachinko pulsates with neon promise. Says Mr. Nakamura, “With only 3,000 yen, it IS possible to make 100,000 yen (about $900). With the economy the way it is and my own business down, I don’t want to waste my money on a movie or a night out. But pachinko, that’s different — today just might be my lucky day!”

High-tech Pachinko Wars

Now that computers and other sophisticated electronics are used to control machine payoffs, truly enterprising players must become high-tech buffs in order to keep up.

Last year the high-tech pachinko wars made headlines all across Japan. Pitted against each other in this struggle are the parlor owner and the serious recreational or professional player. Both are trying to manipulate the programming of the machines that determines the percentage of wins, a percentage which is set by law. Pachinko pros scour Akihabara and other electronics meccas in search of electronic play enhancers–altered walkie-talkies, short wave gadgets and the like, which are supposed to trick pachinko machines. These devices cost between one and seven thousand dollars. High-tech pachinko hustlers hope to walk in with electronic gadgets shoved up their sleeves, confuse machines into spewing out a cascade of shiny balls and then slip out without ever being detected.

Faced with intense competition all over the country, parlor owners have been accused of tampering with win ratios so that on slow afternoons there will be fewer wins and on busy days there will be proportionally more. The idea is that payoffs are more conspicuous on busy days, providing a kind of in-house advertising that will entice customers to come back to spend their time and money.

Changing Times

Like many long-established sports and recreational pursuits, pachinko is experiencing an erosion in its base of support as Japanese lifestyles and leisure habits change. The entertainment industry has grown and developed, and people have many more ways to spend their free time than in the past. Pachinko must now contend with a variety of competitors, including karaoke, home videos, compact discs, wide-screen TVs and computer video games, just to name a few. The industry is doing all it can to stir up interest and bring in new customers, but many parlors are uneasy about the future, and some are in a state of near-panic.

One strategy has been to court a new segment of the adult population–women (it is illegal for children under age 18 to play). Pachinko has traditionally been a male form of recreation, and it suffers from a rather grubby image. The stereotypical pachinko player is a man staring vacantly at the machine, cigarette dangling from his mouth, mindlessly shooting balls for hours on end. Of course there have always been some female pachinko players. In fact, Doi Takako, the former head of the Social Democratic Party and current Speaker of the Diet, is a self-professed fan. Nevertheless, the seedy image of pachinko has kept many women away in the past.

Some parlors have responded by improving their furnishings and facilities, many of which are nothing short of luxurious. A number of parlors now offer free coffee, video screens and miniature TVs attached to pachinko machines. A few have even abandoned the once-obligatory marching music in favor of other forms of background music.

Parlors are starting to establish special women’s sections and offer such upscale prizes as Gucci bags, hoping to give the game a loftier image. Some parlors even provide refrigerators so housewives can stow their groceries when they stop on the way home from shopping. Many now hold “Ladies’ Days” which seem to be quite popular, even though the only incentive is that the women have the parlor to themselves–men are excluded on those days.

In some ways pachinko is a noisy incongruity, a curious counterpoint to a normally peaceful, group-oriented society like Japan. Players sit alone surrounded by harsh lighting and ear-shattering music. Yet despite a few signs of weakness, pachinko is so well established that it seems sure to stay one of Japan’s favorite leisure pursuits for many years to come.

After three exciting quarter finals we were last night presented with possibly the most boring spectacle of the tournament so far. Even France against Romania was probably more thrilling that what we witnessed on Sunday evening. I have lost all Indian satta for the Italians after they refused to come out and play football, deciding to revert to a style you would normally associate with lower league football in England. Before the match had begun I had tried to remain open minded about who I wanted to win, both sides had given us some exciting games in the group stages and I thought that we could have a classic contest on our hands. Instead we were put through the rigger of a stalemate with only the inevitable excitement of penalties keeping me awake.

I have made sure to watch every quarter final all the way through and the closest I had come before last night to channel surfing had been during the Turkey against Croatia game but even then I hung on to see the most dramatic of finishes between those two sides. Looking back now I would rather watch that game all over again rather than be put through Spain V Italy. One of my pet peeves in football has to be sides that sit back and defend for the majority of the game whilst hoping to knick a goal to win it from a dead ball situation. Head this way for another pet peeve of mind.

That’s exactly what Italy tried to do yesterday evening leading me to draw a comparison between them and Bolton Wanderers. Italy are known for their defensive strengths but what Roberto Donadoni did on Sunday night was apply the shackles to his side in the hope they could prevent Spain getting anywhere near Gianluigu Buffon’s goal and it worked very well. What he also did was tell his players to send long balls up to Luca Toni in the hope he would hold them up and knock them down for the Italian midfield. Only problem was this failed to work and as Toni became isolated a pattern emerged of a red Spanish waves crashing against a white Italian wall.

Watching the game on the BBC it was interesting to note Alan Shearer’s utter distain for Italy’s tactics when a lot of clubs from his home nation have started to employ them and he usually doesn’t make such harsh comments as he did yesterday. The phrase ‘the end justifies the means’ seems to have become a firm favourite with some managers these days, hence the Bolton comparison. The comment I did agree with the most from Shearer were his words after Spain had won the penalty shoot-out which were ‘a victory for football’ because Luis Aragones’ side had tried to play football. They were the on trying to wok neat one-twos through the Italian back line or trying to get around the defence. That’s not to say Spain were brilliant last night because they weren’t in any shape or form, I believe that if they had been on form they would have broken the Italian’s resolve and there would have been no need for extra time or penalties.

I was disappointed with both sides because if Italy would have pressed Spain a little more there would have been a good chance they could have broken what looked a very shaky Spanish defence. Carles Puyol and Carlos Marchena couldn’t deal with the physical presence of Toni and with a second striker alongside the powerful forward Italy may well have enjoyed some success. As it was though they decided to rely on set pieces for their chances which were few and far between despite the large amount of fouls given by the German referee. I’m not saying Donadoni’s tactics are wrong because if they had worked then no Italian fan would be complaining and in an age where winning is everything you can see why he went so defensive. At the end of the day I think there was a collective sigh of relief from most neutrals when Cesc Fabregas slide that penalty in because now we won’t have to go through the same thing over again with Italy against Russia and can instead look forward to a cracking semi-final.

As for who will win it well that is a tough call, Russia are playing football which is out of this world at the minute but Spain will have the psychological edge after beating them 4-1 in the group stages. I will stick my neck out though and go for Russia, they just look so good with Andrei Arshavin. If you think Spain will win or believe I’m right get the football odds here

Meeting Kevin Gallacher wasn’t quite the highlight of the evening – especially for the amiable Scot after I told him that I had been present when he had broke his leg on two occasions – but it came close to matching a dull game between France and South Korea in Leipzig.

Lunchtime was spent with a group of L’Equipe journalists who were convinced that the team was on its last legs and was about to be put out of its misery. Their pessimistic mood was in marked contrast to that of a group of Swiss sports scribes I had dinner with five days previously, after the Korea-Togo match. Upon witnessing that Korea victory and the subsequent turgid 0-0 draw between their team and France, the writers upgraded their Satta Matka expected finishing position from second to an unequivocal first.

On the afternoon of the game, it was hard to navigate the narrow streets of Leipzig’s historic city centre, filled as they were with people packed taking advantage of the many outside bars and pubs.

The Koreans were louder –they almost always are – as they proved in the stadium. The communist built ZentralStadion looked to be mostly blue upon entrance but the sound that could be heard on a warm Saxony evening came from the red section – one that never stopped singing and dancing.

S.Korea v France

Desperate to avoid more barbs from the likes of L’Equipe, the French started brightly and it was little surprise when Thierry Henry put the team ahead in the ninth minute. On the half-hour it should have been two as Patrick Viera’s header certainly crossed the line before being beaten away by Lee Woon-jae in goal – the ‘keeper has answered his critics with two fine performances so far in Group G.

The Taeguk Warriors offered little as an attacking force but improved in the second half as Park Ji-sung was moved into the midfield from the wing. His energy in the middle redressed the balance somewhat, especially as France seemed satisfied with the scoreline as it was. Korea’s attempts to break through the excellent defensive pairing of William Gallas and Lilian Thuram were helped by the introduction of Ahn Jung-hwan with 20 minutes remaining. For the second time in a week, the Lord of the Ring changed the pace of the game and Korea came more and more into it.

The equaliser was a fairly shambolic one from a French point of view though the sight of the ball looping over a hitherto unemployed Fabian Barthez was a delicious one from the Korean point of view – one not shared by the obviously furious Gallas who booted the ball to Dresden.

There was no doubt which set of fans and players were happier after the game. The Koreans stayed on the pitch to salute their wonderful fans while the French players showed more urgency in leaving the field than they did for most of the second half – a speedy exit matched by their fans. The Koreans stayed to sing and judging by the sounds coming out of Leipzig city centre in the early hours, their numbers were swelled by a number of new Red Devils.

The French were disappointed but not overly so, in the mixed zone their players pointed out that they only had to defeat Togo to reach the second round while the Switzerland defeat of the Africans by two goals mean that South Korea also have to win in Hanover on Friday night to be sure of progressing. It should be some night.
