Yes, we’re all sad that Japan was eliminated in the FIFA World Cup 2010 to Paraguay in a ridiculous penalty kick shoot out after 2 hours of amazing play (no, I’m not bitter) but fans in Osaka still pay tribute to their Blue Samurai by jumping in Dotonbori River in Ebisu.

The other admin here tells me that this is quite dangerous and someone died doing this. Apparently the river is rather dirty. Didn’t look too bad last time I hung around the area but what do I know.
