    He'll never get promoted, and if he does he better transfer quickly, or he'll be back in J1 in one year.


    PS: is "HokOri."

    Yeah, it does have that "generic 70s sports anime" style to it...

    Yohei Naito. He's only 22 years old, and looks pretty good.

    Im more impressed by Mito though. Think they have looked alot better than what was expected of them this season, and are working really hard. Kyoto doesn't look too comfortable playing against them so if this is a sign of what is to come then Mito might be able to finish a little higher than last season.

    I'm watching the game for 15 minutes and feel really sorry for Sanga fans. Last year they were destroyed by teams like Grampus, Frontale etc. Now they're being crushed by Mito.

    Now it's Ehime FC atop the table with HollyHock just beneath. Not sure we'll ever see this in our lifetimes :D

    I only saw the 2nd half but Mito looked pretty good for their victory. Played keep ball for the last 5 minutes, but up to that point had been fully deserving of their lead and could have extended it.

    Sanga had a free-kick on the egde of the box in the 94th minute which I was glad to see creamed over the bar by Diego as a point would have been harsh on Mito after the 2nd half.

    I was at Banpaku, but most Sanga fan told me Hollyhock deserved the victory.

    One might say that Mito are a bunch of unknown players, but how many are known at Sanga? Diego is known for his nights in town, All other players worth mentioning are youngsters with little or no experience.

    The best case scenario is that Sanga is one of the many teams that has a chance to snatch spot #2 or #3. On papers, there are a few teams that seem better equipped.

    I can't say why Mito won, except that with this match as well as the Kashiwa win Sunday, I've never seen a Mito squad play so hard and never tire from it. Historically the team loses matches after being tired... Any former squad would have blown the win. I still think Hashiratani is hopeless, but there is something about the players this year.
