Official 2012 J1 Thread [R] - part I

My saturdays are great now.

I just got back into soccer playing. This was my 2nd game. Now I get to play at roughly 2pm, then come back by 4pm and switch on J.League. Hell Yes!

 

Great FK by Paulinho

 

Terrible defending by Kashiwa.

Ranko scores

 

Yamamura debuts

 

Kakitani returns!

 

And Kempes wins it!

edit:

Kashima struggle again
Urawa beats Kashiwa
Marinos lose

 

Kempes woooooohooooooo!

 

Godamit. Really wanted Gamba Osaka to win.

 

speechless

 

Kempes had been shut down the whole match before the goal. GG. Kim was really good but he really needs to be aware he has teammates around ...

 

Great goal by Toshiyuki

 

What a finish to Osaka derby! Ogihara and Yamaguchi were impressive in midfield, a future Endo?

 

first time since 1994 that Gamba lose the first two matches.
and the fact that today we really don't deserve to lose just adds to the frustration.

 

Ogihara is a good player,Yamaguchi a hideous punk...
please don't force this "Future Endo" tag in everytime,everywhere

 

17 year-old Notsuda is coming on.

He's been dubbed the new Nakata.

 

He looks great, lot of activity and skill, only lacks physical but it will come with the years.

 

Bitter about the game?

 

he may be but he's right about the "new X" thing, it hurt more players than it helped.

 

Yonemoto back on the bench after a year

 

those were bad minutes,very bad minutes...

 

Nice goal by Masaki Yamamoto

 

Toyoda scores his first of the season

 

nice run by Kim Min Woo, then Toyoda outmuscles Cho Byung Kuk.

 

lucky goal for Yamada

 

great goal from Komano
