Japan 3 - 0 Hong Kong

The modern-day mafia film "Donnie Brasco" is often cited as an example of how, sometimes, even the very best collection of actors can still produce a dud of a film. But there is one scene in that movie which has always stuck in my mind as a memorable moment in acting -- the scene where Depp, as the title character, explains to his FBI cohorts the proper use of the word "Fuggeddabowdit".
Fuggedabowdit? Its just like . . . you know . . . . Fuggeddabowdit.
Like for example lets say you see Lionel Messi dribble through an entire opposing team with the grace of a ballerina. Oh man - Fuggeddabowdit.Or sometimes it can mean that you think something sucks. Like say . . . Yoshito Okubo. Fuggeddabowdit. I mean . . . Fuggeddabowdit!
Lotsa times you use it when youre just brushing somebody off. Like ya know . . . they might ask you if youre gonna write a report about the Japan - Hong Kong match, and you just look at him like he's nuts and ya say "Hey, fuggeddabowdit.
Sometimes you can use it when you disagree with something. Like somebody asks ya "do you think Japan will manage to win a game at the World Cup?", and you say "WHAT? Fuggeddabowdit!!!" But it can also mean that you agree with something. Like your buddy says to you "Man, Okada must be the dumbest guy on the planet." And you say "Fuggeddabowdit!" But mainly it just shows people that you just dont give a fuck. You know? Like for example: Thursday night's match? Fuggeddabowdit! The East Asian Championships? FUGGEDDABOWDIT! Okada Japan? HEY! FUGGEDDABOWDIT!
And as for Japan's chances of getting to the World Cup semifinals . . . particularly if Okada insists on taking pathetically BAD players like the ones he has been starting in the past few matches . . . theres really only one thing you can say.
Fuggeddabowdit.
