Move it in J2, Dax. Sorry.

 

I guess Jubilo only changed the text in their emblem and the Roar's new emblem is ugly, just like their owner (sorry I can not be impartial towards Bakrie, he like to own the Anti-Midas Touch, everything he touched become a disaster, especially in here)

 

Mito's first match is set to Kasamatau Stadium, which was home until 2010.

While not a great stadium for watching games and tougher to access for fans, the capacity does remove the only barrier the team had against J1 promotion.

Other than the not having a winning season issue.

 

I'll have some of what you're drinking please!

Maybe there will be some players coming in later, but things have been very underwhelming in this off-season so far.

There certainly seems to be some money in the club at the moment, but whether they know how to spend it or not I am not so sure.

 

After a short period in MLS, former Gamba right-back Akira Kaji is set to join side Fagiano Okoyama.

 

Hi everyone. I thought I'd asked this in the J2 thread. Out of genuine curiosity, does anyone know about V Varen Nagasaki's Lee Yong Jae?

 

He was a starter for most part of the second semester. Scored 3 goals in 14 matches. His team didn't have a good season.

 

How would you guys rate him? He got a lot of criticism for his sub-par performances in Asian Games and previous NT matches, but I always had a soft-spot for him (he grew up without a father since age 7,etc).

Some J-League fans said Ehime FC may play window-dressing. I hope not..

 

Hmm, that's not good for they.

 

Does anyone know about Gao Zhunyi? He played for Kataller Toyama last season.

 

He will play for a better club now. Avispa Fukuoka.

 

Ono Shinji out for 2-3 months. Knee injury.

 

Nice wins for Iwata and Fagiano today. Bothroyd debuted wit 2 goals. Omiya just broke the deadlock vs Zweigen through Ienaga, and Ruy Ramos and his gang are being hammered in Okayama.

Now it's time for Cerezo and Consadole's games!

 

Nazarit already.

 

Avispa were awful today.

Kyoto were decent, but made to look much better than I think they are.

Kyoto to challenge for the play-offs all season, Avispa to end up bottom half again.

 

It's still the first round....

 

Really? I wish I'd known.

There I was making a speculative judgement based on a single match and people may have been taking it as a factual statement.

 

All HG here Including Forlan free kick, Ienaga winning goal and Nazarit brace.

 

Daamn, There are few players in J.League who are as explosive as Nazarit. Fantastic runs past the defenders.

And great debut for the new Korean GK Kim!
