Official 2009 J1 Thread - part II [R]

I'm glad to be the first to reply on this new thread.

Thanks Goru, and hope we all enjoy tonight's matches.

SW.

 

Yeah Ishikawa keeps on scoring, what superform he is in

Also glad to see Yana scoring again, I guess you're too Goru? And that they grabbeed one point at the end.

I feel sorry for Oita, do they play really bad in the games or are they unlucky also, a mix of the both maybe?

 

I watched the whole game and have to say they don't deserve to remain in J1. If JEF forwards are better at chance taking the score could easily be 4-1 or even more.

Some of their players don't even dare to play longball forward in last couple of minutes. Nobody was trying to bear the responsibility

 

Okey, I wonder what has happend to them :S How is Kanazaki doing?

(please check your mail

 

This is the first time Kyoto Sanga came from 2-goal behind in J1 (Goru corrects me if my info is wrong), I shuold give credit to them because they improved alot in the last couple of years, and they are on their way to be a respectable mid-table J1 team.

 

Yeh, another nice goal from Ishikawa.
I thought Cabore might actually miss that for a second.
Complete dominance by FC Tokyo though, at least in the only half I saw.

 

Looks like Chamusca got the gas tonight

Did you have to pay extra for that?


Got in your face.

 

I like Reysol, and they way they play, so I hope they will survive in J1. They have the crappiest defence ever though, but their always attacking-oriented strategy means there never is a dull Reysol-match. Many of the matches they have lost and drawn this year, they actually deserved to win, and if they were to get the margines on their side from now on they might be in for a comeback. Kyoto have never beaten Reysol actually ( 0-1-3), so its about time! I agree with you on Paulinho, he looked great when he came in.

 

Uchida red card for blocking with his chest on the line, and PK for Kawasaki.
1-0..

 

Matsuyo just took a leaf out of Iikura's book and gifted Grampus an injury time winner. I feel sick. Not to mention that he's the one who brought Davi down in the box for the penalty.

We should have finished them off when we had the chance.

 

They better approach for Nishikawa in offseason

I simply don't understand how they could tolerate those crappy keepers years after years.

 

Kashima tie it with 10 men.

 

Kawasaki should really beat Kashima now, also that is good for the league.

 

It would be even better if they could do it without help, but the match ended 1-1 anyway.

 

Chong was about to be sent off. Every time he challenged Iwamasa in the air, he was being penalised (rather harshly, I thought). He was already on a yellow from the first half and the referee had pretty much given him his final warning.

There's no doubting Frontale lack strength in depth. With no Vitor Junior or Renatinho available, they were having to rely on the likes of Yamagishi, Kurotsu and Yajima as impact players. Not ideal.

Not sure if Antlers are unstoppable, but I don't think it'll be Frontale standing in their way...this year.

 

How about that game-winning assist from Gamba's keeper?

 

I just watched the highlights and what a cracker from Ishikawa what is that guy on??

Also Tomis goal was a beauty.

Do you think Takahara has woken up now? Two nice goals.

 

I certainly hope he has. Not sure whether it was his doing, or Finke's, but I'm enjoying him, again.

We need all the goal-scorers we can get, so I'd love for him to keep this up.
