Also from FullBloom: and that Saita Yuki and Koyama Kie will retire. Vegalta Sendai are yet to make a statement. Of course GK Cameron is also leaving. How many in total?
I feel disappointed that she'll leaving Kansai area. She often attended to watch Bunnys' games with her younger teammates and her dog. It was nice experience to enjoying the games with famous players. So, if the rumor about Tanaka Yoko is true, we can see the combination of Kawashima and Tanayo again. That would be interesting.
There is a rumor that Aya Sameshima is going to leave.... Oh, you were faster... As mumf said, if Sameshima is true to her word, she will go abroad...
Lol, it would be super-fun if INAC would sign Sameshima... I can imagine her assisting Kawasumi from the left like she does in NT. But I guess she would be precious for Takase too, and especially for Michigami, if she ever gets back from her injury: Michigami is young, tall, well-built, and I guess she would benefit more than other players from good crosses from the side-line! Oh, well, probably the Shark will end abroad anyway...
Kie Koyama? Isn't she quite young to retire? Maybe she never completely recover from an injury last season?
I've got the feeling that next season Nojima Stella Kanagawa could be a very funny team to watch play. Especially if they keep all the other good players they are, as Natsuki Yoshimi and Arisa Minamino. Probably, they didn't like at all how this season ended for them, and they want to make sure to built a battle-cruiser to win 2nd Division next year.
Looks like I might have a fun time screaming "Stella!" next year! Yeah, she's only like what... 27 or so. I guess injuries could be a possibility. A shame regardless. Oh, don't you dare even get me started, Profe!
Happy New Year everyone ! GOTY (NT) 2014 vote count due to some late participants moved to later date in January.
Well, I suppose in Japan it's 2015 already, so Lechus7's wishes are somehow legitimate. Ok, we didn't touch 12.000 posts. We are likely not to touch 11.500 either. Oh, well, there were highs and lows this year... but I suppose that, if there is a year when we could break any record, it's the World Cup's year, the next one. (Although the WWC's games will probably be in the night for most of us in Europe... Tomorrow, I am probably going to open 2015 thread and to ask a mod to lock this one. I guess we should keep the thread title in Japanese again: I'd say it did attract some occasional Japanese poster. (By the way, were you are Sola? Are you embarassed 'cause you mistaken me for a women? Please, don't be and keep posting! ) I sooooo hope (and believe) that Sawa will make the team for WWC 2015 (and anyway the roster is extended from 2011). And, if she'll make it, I swear she's also going to leave her mark on this WWC either! Big champions shine in big moments.[/QUOTE]
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY! I know it's late for some, early for some, and way early for some others, but I hope you had, are having, or will have a wonderful, exciting, "best day of the year" type experience. As for me, I'll be around for a few more hours, but I have big big doings tonight, so if I don't catch you here, see you in the new year (and the new thread) Make sure to have fun, make it a priority, okay! Kisses. Love you all way too much.
I haven't been here for quite some time. I just want to say Happy New Year to everyone in this thread. Looking forward to the 2015 WC!
Before this thread is locked, Happy New Year to all. Hope the 2015 will be a great year for Nadeshiko and hoping for great and legendary games in the WWC.
Ok, people, I just opened Official 2015 Nadeshiko Japan Thread. Since I've also asked moderator Dax to lock 2014 thread as soon as possible, I suggest that we keep discussing any subject (in particular, in this moment, Empress' Cup final) on the new thread.
