    Vegalta Sendai's story really reminds us that football isn't about the title wins and also signing the best of players and especially money, it reminds us that it's the people's game and the story must live on for future generations to see to show an example on how football can unite a community in need and also can be an outlet to forget our problems we face in life and it always brings us peace and comfort and warm our hearts inspite the bliss of defeat.

    Vegalta Sendai's U-16 had an international tour in 2012, and thanks to Florence's Japanese Association in which my mother was a member at the time each player of the team was being hosted at households of the members of the association, so I had the captain in our house for a week or so before a friendly with Fiorentina's U-16. He was a cool dude but I really can't remember what his name was, it would be cool if he still played for J-League or even better in Europe, and maybe find him on FIFA or something, if someone is able to find his name I'd be so grateful

    This day of the earthquake holds a very special place in my heart. Ive grown up here in Canada but spend every summer in Japan. The day of the earthquake my 8th grade teacher stopped all instruction for the day as we watched live News reports from the scene. I know that my class was the only one to do so and perhaps not coincidentally I was the only student with Japanese background. I will never forget that gesture or any gesture that tells a story from that time. Thank you Max.
