Approximately, susi are classifyed into 3 types. They are
nigiri-zusi, maki-zusi and chirashi-zusi (this type is sometime
called 'bara-zusi' in Kansai area). Maki-zusi is roll type. I
suppose your favourites are this type. Nigiri-zusi are shaped by
shaking rice and fillet of fish on them. Chirasi-zusi are made
by hashing rice and the other ingredients.

And popular (and traditional) susi have nicknames. For example, 

Kappa : maki-zusi of cucumber.
Tekka : maki-zusi of tuna.
Sukeroku : combination of maki-zusi and inari-zusi.
  :
and so on.

To my regret, I can't refer to all type of susi (esp. osi-zusi),
but these are popular type and you will have them well.

I hope you enjoy japanese life with japanese foods.

Hi.

Before delving into your original question,
you might try asking in fj.rec.sports.football with a subject line
that begins with a phrase 
	[soccer]
at the beginning. The reason for this ritual is that the newsgroup is
shared between Soccer, American Football, and Rugby fans.

Also, occasionally there is an invitation to join a soccer mailing
list called hooligan (I hate the name, but it is the name.) in
fj.rec.sports.football. So you might like to subscribe to the
newsgroup. (I don't read it regularly myself sorry.)

Now as for your original question, I looked at the TV broadcast
myself. The iranians played a very defensive game since a draw would
have secured their entry to the semifinal.  Japan needed to win the
game to make it to the semifinal.

The game went on with Japan trying to attack the goal and Iranian
defense managed to spur the attack with good offside trap.  After
Japan scored a goal (it was a pass behind the Iranian offside trap
that led to a goal) when only a few minutes remained in the game, the
Iranians suddenly started to played very aggressively, and there were
a few rough plays. 

Although I watched the TV, and replayed it on VCR, I could not see
exactly who (and why) got the red cards except for one Iranian defense
player. He tripped a Japanese player who would have faced with the
goalie one on one if it had not been his foul. It was a clear cut
tripping-from-the-behind.  For this, the player got the red card on the
spot. I agreed with the referee's judgement.

The other two players, I suspect, got red cards because of ungentlemanly (and
from what I read, very violent) protest to referee's calls in the last
excited minutes. One of them kicked the referee from what I have read.
But I didn't notice it.

The last part of the game was very interesting in that the Iranian
defense spurred the Japanese offense very well, and yet the Japanese
team kept on attacking the Iranian defense very well. One pass behind
the Iranian defense, which was picked up by Kazuyoshi Miura who faced
the goalie one on one and hit the ball into the roof of the goal
clashed the Iranian's hope to make it to the semifinal.  Admittedly,
since I am Japanese, the game was more interesting. But, for a
regional match, I believe it was an interesting game to overseas
visitors.

I think the Iranians should have shown more offense in the first half
even if they just wanted to draw the game. They let the Japanese
players dominate the mid-field pretty much, and this led to the
confidence among the Japanese players that they can score a goal
anyway before the game was up. They ought to have put more pressure in
the mid-field. (A comment from a back-seat driver, eh...)

Not all Suns use X.
My SPARC LT uses SunView. (;_;)
Fortunately it comes with the shelltool, etc that supports Japanese.

Well, I have some trouble with names of Japanese food. I guess that

But speaking of sushi, I like VERY much the "vegetable" one - cucumber,
carrot, some mayonnaise. I like also the one with a small piece of crabs

I went to a sushi house in Fukuoka with a kind of "transporter

My "best 4 ways to eat nori" from the top:
  1 - Thin-sliced with Soba or Udon (the kind you eat dipping in some sauce 
      with negi). Where is the FAQ for noodles ?
  2 - In sushi. Makes a lot of difference for me.
  3 - With rice cookies - I forgot the name. Not senbei, I guess. Is there
      different names from cookies ? Okaki ? Arare ? Can somebody makes
      a FAQ for cookies ?
  4 - In the morning, in some trips, some hotels give as a breakfast rice
      with nori, and a raw egg. I hate the raw egg (dont read as "I ate
      the raw egg" :-) but I make a "empty-sushi" with the nori sometimes.

Other tips ? 

In time, I would like to get some info about eating cheap in Japan - 
Not only in Tokyo, since some of we are not tokyoites. Something like
"Dai-Nippon Binbou Seikatsu Manyuaru" ($@BgF|K\IOK3@83h%^%K(J$@%e%"%k(J)
with tips on food like products brands, how-to-cook, food names, and
so on. I guess it will help not only me, but some other people
that want to appreciate Japanese food. If you want to join, please
state in your post that I can use it for this faq.

I don't have the answer for you, but try sending mail to jefu@haas.berkeley.edu.
He just moved back in July, and sent stuff over by ship.  It was very fast.  The
company came, packed stuff up, sent it on its way, and it got there in a couple
of weeks.  I think the they charged by the cubic metre, too, rather than by
weight.

The yudoufu served in Kyoto is well known.  Ooyama (Isehara City,
Kanagawa Prefecture) is another good place to eat yudoufu and is
located about two hours from central Tokyo.  To get there, one can
take the Odakyuu Line from Shinjuku to the west exit of Isehara Station
and transfer to a bus going to Ooyama Eki.  There are a few teishoku
shops between the bus terminal and the cable car station.  The toufu
is made from spring water, providing an escape from the all-too-
familiar Rust Monster that dwells in Tokyo's water pipes.

  Well, actually the term "Susi" just means "rice with vinegar", and
there are so many kind of them.  I thought someone has classified them
into three, but I think a lot more appropriate.

   a. Nigiri or Nigir-zusi.  Compress rice in man's hand, place
      sasimi or tamago-yaki or such onto it.

   b. Maki-zusi.  Place "nori" (well, do you like nori?  I thought
      many foreigners just feel as if they are eating black papers!)
      onto an elastic wooden cover, place rice, and then core part
      (you mentioned cucumber or carrot), and just roll them.

   c. Inari-zusi. As I described, rice (and other staff) wrapped in
      a-ge.

   d. Osi-zusi.  Insted of using your hand (a above), just use
      wooden frame and press hard.

   e. Chirashi-zushi.  Place rice on a large bowl, and then various
      stuff (sashimi, tamago-yaki, cooked vegitables, ...) above.

You can see all of them if you gaze into Kyo-taru ($B5~C.(J)'s glass
showcase, but you'll have to purchase some :-)

  Oh, sorry, most Kyo-taru shops are take-out only.  What you've
mentinoed is called kaiten($B2sE>(J)-zusi (rotating? sushi!).  You
just take off your dishes from the belt, so you needn't speak a
word.  Perhaps convenient for non-Japanese speakers, I guess.
But kaiten-zushi serves mostly a and b above, so it's somewhat
expensive.  C, d, e are cheaper, I thought.

24 bits can hold about 17 million characters.  Isn't that
enough yet? :-)

I always wonder, how many sets of characters does it take generally
to write proper Chinese?  JIS kanji certainly isn't enough is it?
But then, maybe we need 24 bits or so to cover all the character
even for daily use.
