Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] 7-2 in the 44th minute on an own goal......UNBELIEVABLE. Final I still bet at least one of the big 2 japanese soccer rags puts Urawa and their 3-1 win on the cover instead of 5 goal Ganaha or the Yokohama win versus Kashima. Urawa was the TV game again.........it was impressive to see the 2002 packed full.
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] How many people were expecting Kawasaki to start the season like this? I may not know much about the J-League yet however I definately wasn't expecting this... at least Yokohama won 3-0
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] Magrao is class!! He played last year's World Cup Qualifying for Brazil.
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] Wow, what a result for Kawasaki 2:7! 13 goals in 2 games!!! Congrats Kawasaki Cheer up Firebirds, the good times will come
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] 6 - 1 Gamba over Cerezo. Hat-trick for Fernandinho and a 5 minute hat-trick for Alves...
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] ALL Bargay's teams (especially Chelsea, Liverpoo, Assenal,) Juventus from Italy, and any other NON-BRASILEIRO club-friendly countries, should take a look at the Gamba match, on March 12, 2006. Magno Alves, former Fluminense player, and former K-league player, scored a Hat Trick, in less than six minutes . Fernandinho, who NEVER scored a Hat Trick in his career, before, got one, on March 12, 2006. THIS IS WHY LIVERPOO DIDN'T REPEAT, IN THE 2006 CL, AND WHY CHELSEA GOT KNOCKED OUT OF THE CL, NO BRASILEIROS, IN THOSE CLUBS. Chelsea had a chance to buy a decent BRASILEIRO (Daniel Carvalho,) but they passed him up.

Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] I was there along with a crowd of 30,000. Once again, more proof that my Cerezo team is the premier dysfunctional team in all of Asia!

Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] Relegation Zone, not Relegated. Sheesh it's only the 2nd week, Cerezo isn't relegated yet!
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] I assume that's meant to be sarcasm? Relegation zone isn't terribly good at any stage of the season
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] The great news is that Magrao and da E-FU MARINOS are lightin it up! somewhat disturbing for us stat geeks is that out of the top 10 goal scorers so far, there are only TWO JAPANESE in the top ten, albeit one of which is tied for the lead. Hopefully there will be a better balance as the year goes. What was the deal with the attendance at the Orange Derby between Omiya and Niigata? Not even 10,000 and at the Saitama? E-FU MARINOS!
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] Congrats, Kofu. They are the symbol of the J-League.
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] Today's attendance looked pretty bad. Tokyo and Yokohama did not even break 20K. Gamba was around 8K...
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] Ouch, those attendances don't sound good, what are they normally like? I thought that the crowds were much larger than that but they seem more on par with the A-League crowds... which isn't good for a league as developed as that. I trust it was simply an off weekend?
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] If anyone is interested, I posted a link for Saturday's Round 3 HIGHLIGHTS of the J League, on the 'J.League picture and video clip thread'. Enjoy if you like. VN
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] As in MLS the weather (of the cold nature) keeps fans away early in the season. I saw a few days ago Yamagata had like 240+ volunteers shovelling snow in the stands so that supporters could , well, be supporters (once again that Japanese work ethic ). In season's past even if there was cold weather, the crowds would still show up better than this weekend. Nontheless, there's going to be some interesting stories this year with the strikers. I reiterate that it would be nice to see more Japanese strikers up there with the foreigners (and this is coming from a beikoku-jin!). I'm eager to see how Wesley and my boy Marques do against Grampus.
Re: Official 2006 J.League Division 1 & 2 Thread [R] The brazilians are always the top goalscorers in J1 I suppose we should thank them, J League may well be alot more unaventfull without them
