Headlines

[Glenn]

I was looking at Asahi's article on the recent soccer game, and I'm a bit confused by something. It says 日本、PKで豪破り、４強　サッカーアジア杯. My problem regards the 4強. I can only interpret this as meaning "more than 4," but I don't know what that could be in reference to. At least that's the only meaning I know for 数字＋強, but now I'm wondering if it might mean that Japan won by a score of 4 to something.

Incidentally, Sankei also uses that phrasing. Their headline is 日本、ＰＫ戦制し４強進出　サッカー・アジア杯準々決勝. I assume the meaning is the same, whatever that meaning happens to be.

見落としてしまいました。:blush:

この場合は、ベスト４（準決勝）に進出しまった　という意味ですが、多分、「数字＋強」が意味で使われるの が通常じゃないと思いますね。。。

そっか、そういうことだったか。ちょっとだけ考えがそこを触れたんですが、ま〜。ありがとうご ざいました。

スコアも、偶然に４対３でわがチームが優勢だったけど。。。それについては、Glennさんの言ったとおり ですね。　:relief:
