Does it really matter when you've won the league three times anyway ? No one ever stays on top forever.
Jun Izumisawa just opened his goal account for Gamba by scoring against his old struggling club, Omiya Ardija.
Shota Kaneko scored 20,000th goal in J League's history against Kawasaki yesterday. And Kawasaki broke some kind of record with 1000+ passes in the game. Omiya looks like they're staright for J2 right now. And Saitama derby next week... It looks bad for them. Their keeper is awful - J2 level for sure. And lots of great goals today! Antlers lost against Jubilo and Urawa was able to break away from the rest of the pack for now.
Urawa's style is reallg nice to watch. On the other hand, Kashiwa seems to have stabilised their defence with Hosogai. He adds steel to the midfield and help to shield the centrebacks. Really hope that Kashiwa can get ACL next year, only Urawa has the ability to win it out of all the J league clubs this year imo. Kawasaki and Gamba particularly has been disappointing.
Did not look bad in the those mins. Can't believe Kashima lost 3-0 on their own turf lol. I don't really feel too good about them in the upcoming match against Ulsan in their current form even though Ulsan lost 5-0 earlier. Kashima hasn't really been able to get results on others' turf in the ACL.
Great moment to get first win of the season. さいたまダービー勝利！全てを賭けるの言葉通り、気持ちで一歩も引かず、球際で闘い、掴みとりました！この勝ちをただの勝点３で終わらせず、ここから這い上がりましょう！#ardija #さいたまダービー pic.twitter.com/zzyjJl0QNg— プアソン (@ys16891110tm) April 30, 2017 Cerezo are also playing well
Not a fan of Cerezo's current playing style, prefer them under Levir Culpi. Their combination plays back then was smooth and pleasing on the eye.

Among many hot blooded hard core J League spectators banned forever from entering J League venues (some Reds supporters for their behavior before Saitama derby, Gamba's for using SS logo like symbols and Tokushima's for sprinkling water on that ball boy - Mawatari got two games suspension for this story) it seems like other fans are doing good. Saitama Stadium already sold out! 59k tickets already sold for the big game against Antlers. Now you can start putting your bets on who's going to be the main culprit of Reds defeat - will it be Nishikawa, Endo, Moriwaki or Kashiwagi? Surely an intense contest it seems...
All I know is, the scoreboard had the last laugh. Mama Karma does not muck around. Any Reds supporter want to enlighten us on this behavior? Or this?
speaking of that, sucks that it's nearly impossible to find the Levin cup streams. This year especially with the new U21 rule there's a lot of interesting youngsters to check. Marinos' Yoshio and Vegalta's Sasaki scored today.
