Unfortunately, I was not able to read the paper from end to end.
But, I read the abstract and found one thing that I want to ask for correction.
In the abstract, you explained how football has become a powerful cultural resource for the representation in the post-colonial North Pacific in a very concise manner.
You also talked about how Japan has changed and adapted football to express identity, power, and status in international relations.
All are very interesting discussions.
However, one example you took is 2002 FIFA Korea/Japan World Cup TM, not Japan/Korea World Cup 2002.
You may think the name of tournament is not a big issue.
Actually, Japan has tried to spread 2002 FIFA Japan/Korea World Cup instead of using the official name that FIFA decided for its tournament.
It provoked strong emotion among not just Koreans but also people in the football community.
Japan was quiet persistent and insistent in its ill-intended action.
At the end of the day, FIFA, in consideration of the situation of the Japanese World Cup Organizing Committee, allowed Japan use the name 2002 FIFA World Cup without the country names inside Japan.
Therefore, it is not appropriate to use the wrong and one-sided name in an academic paper.
