...addition to bringing in foreigners to raise the intensity level, Japan has tried other team-building tactics, including employing a psychologist, Kazushige Toyoda, for the youth team. Toyoda specializes in the practice of qi, which supposedly unleashes the body's inner powers. Among those he trained was the national team's striker, the bleach blond, baby-faced Junichi Inamoto?the talk of Japan last week after he scored the winning goal in Japan's 1-0 victory over Russia and contributed another in a 2-2 draw with Belgium. In early qi sessions, Inamoto "was a little shy, a little...
...Mystery. He carries himself as coolly as a Milan runway model and betrays barely an emotion, even after scoring a goal as he did against Tunisia on Friday when his header deflected off the goalkeeper's shoe and trickled into the net. His outward calm hides an inner fire. "I desperately wanted to score a goal," says Nakata. "We have a mission to show the rest of the world how good Japanese soccer really...

...inner sanctum, choked with chanting de- votees, is barred to nonbelievers. But it's possible to gaze down on its gold-plated lotus domes from the second-story window of the Udai Silk shop across the street. Even from the relative concealment of the silken perch, cameras are still strictly forbidden. Once a customer managed to sneak in a shot, but the telltale flash sent police running upstairs. "They grabbed the camera, and ripped out the film," says proprietor Udai. The view is free?that is if you can resist the eager sales pitch. The slightest flicker of interest...
