日前，日本助威国家队球迷尖叫大赛在东京热烈举行，受到了广大球迷的热烈追捧。他们拼尽全力，用最高分贝的尖叫，来表达对日本国家男足的支持。最终，尖叫“goal（进球）”长达32秒的中山纪夫在91名参赛球迷中脱颖而出，成为冠军。

Football fans in Japan warmed up for the forthcoming¹（即将来临的） World Cup by holding a screaming competition in Toyko as the countdown to South Africa 2010 continued.

The competition attracted a large crowd with participants judged on their ability to scream the word "goal" or other phrase showing support to the country's national team.

Ninety one people took part in the contest with Norio Nakayama winning the prize for his long performance as he screamed the word "goal" for just over 32 seconds.

Nakayama said he believed in Japan's "Blue Samurai（武士） " team and was upbeat（乐观的，上升的） about their chances against Group E opponents² Cameroon, Netherlands and Denmark in Group E in South Africa.

"The ball is round and everything may happen," he said. "I'd like them to win at least once and overcome the group stage. Of course I'd like them to do their best and be hell-bent on winning," he added.

Japan's World Cup campaign begins on June 14 against Cameroon.
