Thanks Denamic

Sergei: Actually it's not 'team gaijin', it's just some guys who happened to be on the field at the same time. And no, I'm not a team leader, I joined a well established team when I started playing again, T.S.D.F. (Tokyo Self Defense Force).

Plus you still haven't guessed which of the guys is me :D
