Totally uncalled for by Nishio, an obvious red card action that was totally unnecessary. Anyway, good defensive display by JNT even though had...
Am guessing perhaps the European Clubs and maybe even some of the Japanese club are not releasing players. Then again not sure why players that...

He suits RB more than CB imo, perhaps not the best showing from him this game.
Riku Yamane is promising, won't be surprised if he moves to Europe this coming summer transfer window alongside with the likes of Matsuki, etc.
It would be good if Sano can make a move to a CL-club. Thing is, what are his chances of being a starter as those clubs are more stacked. Would...
Sano seems to be playing centrally more, compared to the earlier games where he playing as a winger. Seems like Central Attacking midfielder...
Toru Oniki's Kawasaki has never reached the Semi iirc, may be wrong. He should at least aimed to reach it. Previously, there was a lot of talk...
Kawasaki Frontale seems to be cursed in the ACL, not sure if they don't value it or it is just bad luck. Toru Oniki has won everything possible,...
Other than Toru Oniki and Go Oiwa, cannot think of suitable personnels. Go Oiwa has a higher change as he is U-23 coach whilst Oniki seems to be...
Which Japanese coach do you recommend then? Of course, JNT can go back to utilising foreign coaches but to be honest except for 2002 (held at...
He won all 3 domestic league titles in 2014
U23 coach is Oiwa, he was good with Kashima. Losing out to Kawasaki on GD in 2017 and winning the ACL in 2018 (first time Kashima won it under...
Who do you suggest in place of Moriyasu?
Just curious, how do you think of the possibility of Oniki taking over Moriyasu? Am thinking might be worth a try, his record in ACL isn't the...
Based on current form, think that the top 3 options until WC 2026 will be Kosuke Nakamura, Daiya Maekawa and Keisuke Osako for now. Kosei Tani has...
Perhaps they can seek some advice from Urawa Reds' coaching team. Urawa Reds has been known for their resiliency in ACL against teams from other...
Who else other than Moriyasu though, Kenta Hasegawa or Toru Oniki? maybe go back to another foreign coach?
Imo 1 of the reasons why Iraq lost was the sending off of their talisman striker. If he was on the pitch, perhaps Iraq have a better chance of...
Hashioka rumored to be joining Luton Town.
His score is 4.6, highest amongst the squad in the match against Go Ahead Eagles as well.
If Japan gets through Bahrain as expected, they will most probably face Iran. Will be a rematch of the 2019 match, they will be eager for revenge
Zion Suzuki mentioned receiving racist comments in his Instagram....
GK should change next match imo, tbh already felt that he was a bit unstable against VN. His judgements, especially when it comes to high balls...
Japan should consider changing GK in the next match imo, surprised by Suzuki's performance when he plays in Europe. Gonda for JNT in the 2022 WC...
