It should be eaten while it is very hot. Sometimes I burn the inside of my mouth, but I love takoyaki.

In the west side of Japan, there is Akashiyaki, which looks like takoyaki, but it usually in a soup.

  • It was a very woolly tournament. [I do not believe you used this word correctly - woolly is something that is made of wool. Perhaps you mean to use the word "wholly", which means "thoroughly". In that case, for an example, you can say "The game was wholly entertaining".]

I live in California and I saw the final game on ESPN at 11:30AM. I do not think it was agood game, because there were so many yellow cards. But I am happy that the better team won. Go SPAIN! Campeones! Campeones! :)

By the way, takoyaki sounds good. I have never tried it, but now I will when I go to Little Tokyo in Los Angeles. I like to eat spicy dried squid.

Good text! :)

Thanks for your collection.

I wanted to write that many unexpected things, for example Italia, everybody didn't expect their lose, couldn't win the elimination, happened by using "woolly".

I found the word "woolly" from a dictionary though, it doesn't make sense for you.

Should've I used "destabilizing"?

You're welcome. :)

>> Thank you for your _correction_.

I looked up the word 'woolly' in the dictionary again and I found that it has another meaning [woolly: marked by boisterous roughness or lack of order or restraint], but not many people use the word like this anymore. Perhaps 'destabilizing' is a better word.

Thank you again, hmm... I should've looked up in English-English dictionary.
