His corners look undefendable to be fair.

16 corners against Boro with no goals. I think we need someone who can fecking head or kick the ball in the direction of the goal!

Sounds like a decent signing

From BBC world cup profile

The 28-year-old can play anywhere across the backline and is equally effective in a holding midfield role. A mainstay of the team under previous coach Ivica Osim, he is not guaranteed a starting berth under current boss Takeshi Okada.

He made his Japan debut in 2005 but was overlooked for the 2006 World Cup. An Asian Champions League winner in 2007, he has been named in the J-League Best XI three times (2005-07).

Abe made his debut for JEF United in 1998 at the age of 16 and was then the J-League’s youngest ever player.

After nine seasons at United and two J-League Cup titles, he was signed by Urawa Reds in 2007 for about £2.6m, at the time the highest transfer fee ever paid for a Japanese player in a domestic deal. A model of consistency, he has missed only four league games in the last five-and-a-half seasons.

Someone tell me how this bloody thing works?

You nearly got it right - there was an & at the end of the code that shouldn't have been there.

This is Google's translation of the description. I'm not convinced it's 100% accurate:

Excuse my ignorance, but is he currently the only Japanese player playing in the whole of English football?

I thought that was odd as well. You'd think if he'd been present in today's training session then they'd want to sort of show it in the article.

A real coup for us apparently. All the best to him.

Was he called up for the Japan squad for their game today?

No - unless they made a late change.
