Official J2 2014 Thread

Kamatamare really suck. I hope it's only the emotion to drag them down.

 

However not a great win.

 

Decent away draw at Iwata for avispa tonight coming from 2_0 down and then 3-2 down, but again victims of some appalling refereeing.

An I just being too biased watching these games now, or is there anyone who thinks that might have been a penalty for the second goal tonight?

 

Kyoto's not going anywhere with this coach.

 

I totally agree with you saku, I simply doesnt understand how a club as kyoto, with an OK finance, often in the black can go out an get a mr. nobody as coach and why I say Mr. nobody theres many Mr. noobody coaches with much better track record than Badu and its really obvious they merely scrapes the win home.

 

Sorry guys, but where I could watch highlights from J2? Or a J2 resume? Does it exist?

 

Very kind, thanks.

 

Another amazing J2-round, but nobody here seems to care?

Shonan maintain their perfect record, Iwata win again, and Kyoto lucky to avoid defeat vs Sapporo in the end. Very entertaining matches, except for Montedio-Mito, who should have been postponed as the pitch was waterlogged, and almost impossible to play at.

 

I care but today bit a bit busy

 

Right now 1-5 Verdy against Nagasaki. Are Verdy on its way down to J3 they seriously look like a team in trouble.

 

Very nice win for Avispa; 8 points in March is as good a start as I can remember in a while, and that includes having played Kyoto, Jubilo and Yokohama today.

The team look like they know the plan a bit better, but it is annoying they only really go for it against the 'better' teams.

Kumamoto are still the worst team I have seen by quite a long distance, and they are the only team to have beaten us.

Yokohama were actually quite good today and unlucky to lose. They will be tough to beat this season I think with a solid defence and team which keeps it's shape well.

Can't believe that Yamagata game was played, it looked more like water polo at times.

 

I really don't understand what is going on at Vredy. I couldn't believe they let Nakajima go out on loan (although he hasn't set the league alight at Toyama thus far either), and now they have also let Takahara go out too.

I thought they must have a bunch of players to come in and challenge for a play-off spot, but they look awful. The stadium looked like it had about 300 people in it tonight.

 

The thing is they are financilly really in trouble. They loaned Nakajima and let Takahara go to save money. From my sources there money box is totally empty, and thats why they suddenly is a J3 relegation candidate.

 

Shonan is really the favourite to return to J1.

 

Dont forget the many whos been loaned out to Hirohima too. Yeah I hear many saying in Japan that Verdy are on the brink.

Fact is they have no main sponsor and several players has made some videos where they ask any company to become their sponsor.

 

but you know how he scored, right? anyway, you will see if not

 

Fujigawa: same old, same old.
BTW I'm happy for Kanazono.

 

Terrible stuff what is happening to Verdy. They wont let it happen right... Some princess or governor will start collecting money heh



Also 2 more notes about the Jubilo match


If Fujigaya isnt the biggest clown among goalkeepers in the entire J-League than I am the pope. Seriously. Poor Jubilo, I hope they make it never the less but as soon as they do, they need to replace the GK.

Second one. Really nice to see Kanazono scoring. I did thought he will be a good striker, but I guess after the injury it went south and he didnt continue where he left off.

 

I amn´not so sure anymore about Verdy. Verdy where created as a theatre and considered the football equivalent of Yomiuri Giants baseball teams. To say it frankly I think among Tokyos money men theres more interest to let the club die than reemerge, only to be able to say theres something wrong with how J-League is run. Verdy is and will always be the spy for the anti J-league medias.

There only way to save them would be to let them play at either Kumagaya (which has no floodlights) or new national stadoium, when they once in a while plays on other stadiums than Ajonomoto they draw quite decent crowds instead of those 3500 at ajinomoto.
