Official 2008 J2 Thread [R]

its a bit old, but Hakata no mori got a new name.
Now the stadium call "Level5 Stadium" official.

 

Avispa's new-singning Joel Griffiths is A-League's player of the season

avispa,cerezo, will move to the j league i think.

 

A preview on the J2 2008 season and a look at all teams can be found at www.cerezo-osaka.blogspot.com now if anyone finds it interesting Matsu has already posted one at TRSN, but the more the merrier right??^^ only 3 days left now!

 

Saturday games:

Shonan - Sendai 1:0
Ehime - Kumamoto 2:1
Tosu - Yamagata 1:0

 

Now, Sendai outshot Shona 13-9, and Shonan is one of the outsiders for promotion this season, so i wouldn't cut them of after only one game

But yeah, a bad start.

 

So, the title favorites both won their season openers.

Thespa Kusatsu - Sanfrecce Hiroshima 0-2
Goals: Aoyama, Hirashige

The young Hirashige started instead of Kubo, and with a goal he didn't letdown his coach.

Mito Hollyhock - Cerezo Osaka 0-2
Goals: Kagawa x 2

Cerezo played over a half with 10 against 11 as Germano got sent off just before the half. Everyone says Kakitani is Cerezo's wonderkid, but Kagawa showed last season he's just as big a talent, and with 2 goals here he seems to be heading for a great season.

Kofu and Yokohama leads 1-0 by half-time

 

oh sorry, i didn't see this post until now
anyway, the chat room seems like a good idea, and we should gather there for future matches as well.

so what did u buy ur wife then?

Btw, Mito outshot Cerezo 24-17! so it must have been a cracker of a game!

 

Sunday games:

Kusatsu - Hiroshima 0:2
Mito - Cerezo 0:2
Kofu - Gifu 1:1
Tokushima - Yokohama 0:2

We will join the party next week

 

suprising lose for Cerezo

1:3 vs. Yamagata at home

Congrats Roasso for the first J2-win in team-history

 

sorry, I missed
but we won and thats great! 2:1 like i tought...and Kurobe is back


sunday results

Fukuoka - Mito 2:1
Gifu - Sendai 0:1
Kofu - Tokushima 0:0
Hiroshima - Ehime 3:0
Yokohama - Shonan 3:2

Kofu is weak, just 2 draws against "little" teams

 

Re: Official 2008 J2 Thread

I went for C. Osaka, Hiroshima and Fukuoka, and turns out the majority of others votes went with them too. Would like to see a new face in J1 next year (Come on FC Gifu!! ), but may the best teams win! I also hope Hiroshima go up purely for the away day next year.

 

Yokohama FC Shonan Bellmare 3-2
Y: Anderson 5’,52’,79’
S: Kato 64’, Mita 80’

Sanfrecce Hiroshima Ehime FC 3-0
S: Takahagi 23’,74’, Sato 90’

Ventforet Kofu Tokushima Vortis 0-0

Avispa Fukuoka Mito Hollyhock 2-1
A: Kurobe 50’, Talay 74’
M: Nishino 60’

FC Gifu Vegalta Sendai 0-1
V: Own Goal 23’

Roasso Kumamoto Thespa Kusatsu 2-1
R: Takahashi 78’,79’
T: Kita 63’

Cerezo Osaka Montedio Yamagata 1-3
C: Furuhashi 30’
M: Toyoda 14, Own Goal 43’ , Kobara 63’

 

Any news about Kazu?
he wasn't in the squad for the first 2 games

 

still injured. He got a hip injury of some sort but shouldn't be away for too long. For Yokohama's sake I wish he stays injured though Just look how well Anderson is doing now.

 

Come on man, we need a legend
J.League got Gon, so we need Kazu
he and Anderson can play both.

 

Legends are supposed to be either dead,buried or atleast retired, so for me we can do without

but don't get me wrong, I like Kazu too, and thinks he's a cool dude. And he sometimes comes up with some nice stuffs too on the pitch, so he isn't all useless. but perhaps it's time for him to withdraw now...
