Official 2013 J1 Thread

Yeah Half the team is injured. Yamamoto is probably the biggest loss but Horigome is definitely a first team (maybe off-the-bench behind Hanyu) player

Hugo would be described as "shin sen-yaku", but to call him a "rookie??? The guy is 27 years old!

 

Freaking LOL

 

I fell asleep managed to see the highlights, but did someone watched todays game and can shed some light upon what was happening.
How Okubo in the system worked, was Patrick of any use and perhaps the starting line ups for both teams and so on and on

 

didn't saw the match,all i could tell you is that Patrick went in for Yu Kobayashi at 73 min. and was booked at 92'

thanks

First of all don't forget that Kengo wasn't there. I'd say that Okubo's efforts were overally positive with him creating a lot of stir in front of Sugeno's goal. Surely pivotal presence in all of Frontale's offensive efforts (and of course not taking his definsive duties too seriously). Patric played only few minutes and haven't got any outstanding plays though once he took a part in a fast and well prepared attack which ended up with Sugeno's good save.

I don't even know what to think about Cleo vs Nakazawa's duel which led to the second goal for Kashiwa...

 

not a good sign in terms of evaluating Cleo's speed

 

Thank you friend

 

thanks because I was reading that Kawasaki is thinking at least top 3 finish. But than again half of the teams are having ACL or top 3 or even champions or one of the best teams in Asia as their goal, so I dont know whether ornot I should even take them half serious about it.

My predicition about Kawasaki is way different and as a matter of fact I dont see them being top 10 this year.

 

I still remember the year when a former Kyoto Sanga manager said they were aiming at ACL spot...

 

hiroshima's golie were poor poor perform at urawa goal. urawa (jersey n24)player shots were easy to handle, but golie did a huge huge error.


did anyone see the goal?

 

almost everyone who cares about J-League if not live later in the highlights

 

lol

what you think about goal scene?

i think it was golie false error.

 

Hisato thinks that was ref's 'misjudgement'

 

I already said that for a minute I thought it was Fujigaya in Sanfrecce's goal


btw I finally managed to write my preseason predictions and as a result here is my idea of the end League Table

1. Kashiwa Reysol
2. Urawa Red Diamonds
3. Sanfrecce Hiroshima
4. Kashima Antlers
5. Jubilo Iwata
6. FC Tokyo
7. Sagan Tosu
8. Vegalta Sendai
9. Nagoya Grampus
10. Yokohama F. Marinos
11. Omiya Ardija
12. Cerezo Osaka
13. Ventforet Kofu
14. Albirex Niigata
15. Shimizu S-Pulse
16. Kawasaki Frontale
17. Shonan Bellmare
18. Oita Trinita

 

Antlers take the lead after a superb action from Juninho who hit the bar, Yuya Osako shots in the block and the ball has rebounded to Davi, who scored with a header from 4-5 yards.

 

What a start of the second half in Kashima! Three goals in three minutes.
