Official 2020 Nadeshiko Japan Thread [R] - なでしこジャパン（英語スレッド）

Btw, off topic but interesting: A new low in German women's football. No German TV station will broadcast their games at the Algarve Cup.

 

At least there was a livestream of the game against Sweden today on DFB-TV. After watching this game which Germany won 1:0 I think Japan should hope that Sweden will be the European team they have to play in the group stage at the Olympic Games.

 

First off, welcome to the Nadeshiko thread. So there is some way to watch. Apparently Spiegel-online was not aware of that (or I missed it in the article). But still, it seems there is a new all-time low in interest in the women's game. But they were playing well, it seems?

 

JFA (Eng) site....Live NHK BS1 Maybe us Euros could get it via AQ Stream
If not am sure Lechus will come through for us.
See you tomorrow

 

Manchester Nadeshiko - You will be pleased to know that the game is being broadcast on the BBC. I think it is just on the iPlayer / website, but they are showing it from 21:05.

 

DFB has published the information about the livestream only some hours before the game and they said that it is not sure that the other two games will be streamed.
Obviously there is a problem with the Portuguese federation who has the rights for the Algarve Cup. Another problem could be that a DFB-Pokal quarterfinal(men) was shown on television which started one hour after the kick-off of the Algarve match.
Not qualifying for the Olympic Games was also not helpful to create more interest in women`s football in Germany. At least the national team will remain among the best teams in the world in the next years thanks to good young players.

 

It is probably the only game I can realistically watch here too.

The three games start times are as follows here in Japan:
0615
0315
0900

I would not be surprised if Japan did not win a match here. These are all tough opposition, so it is a good test early in the season. But remember that last year the US did not look that good in this tournament, but got it by the world cup. I can see Spain and England beating the US.

I do not really like the way Spain play (too cynical), but I think they are the national team to look out for in the coming years. I could be wrong of course about this.

Will anybody record the games? No problem if nobody is, but the coverage is usually pretty good, so it is nice to watch these games back.

 

Thanks.....Nadeshiko v Spain is on BBC Red Button 2 from 21.05 for those able to get it (on line?)
(USA v England is being shown in UK on mainstream TV...BBC 2... 23.40) Local time

Been a good while since our last Nadeshiko 'fix'...hope we get a good game.My only hope from this tournament is that we get some continuity i.e. I would like to see the Sugita-Miura central midfield partnership carry on for at least two of these games but I fear that our leader will probably run true to form and experiment experiment experiment.

Unrelated.....hope wherever you are the Covid virus is not affecting you and yours too badly.

 

Sorry for the question, but what do you refer about too cynical? Only for curiosity.

 

Yamashita Shimizu Kumagai Minami Endo
Nakajima Sugita Miura Ikejiri

Looking into available links

TDP (ESP)
ESPN 3 (ESP ver?)

It's also on NHK BS1, fuboTV (ESP) and BBC Red Button

 

In Spain it will be broadcasted by Teledeporte. I assume it will be geoblocked, but you could try...

 

tdp link is geoblocked

 

Got my Sugita Miura wish
