Now playing...Mynavi v Albi...perhaps someone should tell the cameraman the whole idea of having a camera is so you can get CLOSE to the action

 

No Ohga today for Nojima and Nakano starting on the bench. I expect Beleza to win this by four or five goals. Nojima are starting with the 18 year old Sora Fukuzumi.

Nojima don't like Beleza very much.

 

N

Not if they continue to try to walk the ball into the back of the net.28 mins

 

37 mins...Nojima should be 1-0

 

Nojima plays well. Minamino Arisa (10) just had a great chance, and Hirata Hikari (18) is really dangerous on the right wing.

 

H.T. Beleza 0 Mojima 0
Hard working Nojima containing the highly predictable 'green machine'
As a 'green' am disappointed.Can see Nojima getting something from this game if we don't start to mix the attack up a little.

 

I didn't know this, but according to the commentator they are allowed five substitutions this season.

Nojima certainly look a lot more organised compared to last season, which is a good thing. But usually Beleza score their goals in the second half. They just wear the opposition down. They are playing without Momiki and Tanaka now, which means they will need a bit of time to figure out how to score.

They were unlucky not to get a penalty Beleza in the first three minutes.

But as a Nojima fan it has been quite good. But I would prefer to see Matsubara in midfield.

 

Oh yeah it looks like Hasegawa and Shimizu are playing in stockings! I mean their socks have been getting higher, but this is ridiculous.

 

Minamino is still one women Nojima army

 

71 mins...not happy with this idea that the only way to score a goal is to walk the
ball over the line...c'mon

 

Beleza.....let's keep doing what we know hasn't worked for 85 mins.
This is so disappointing.

 

Beleza 1 Nojima 0...somebody was listening..a shot on goal

 

They deserved something from that game.

 

I feel like I ought to apologise to Pierre for taking the points from them.

If that is how we plan to win another title....it ain't gonna work

 

Create your own luck, but really the keeper should be doing better than that. Just got to hope that keepers will get better in the Nadeshiko League.

It is disappointing for Nojima who actually created some half-decent chances in that game. Nakano's chance was probably the best.

Things look much better for Nojima compared to last year, but I will see how it goes. I will be curious to see how they go against teams more their level. Kitano coach actually played the bench which is nice to see. Last season and even under Kanno the squad was not rotated or used enough in my opinion.

Beleza did look bereft of ideas at times, but it is early days for them. Ueki is a very skillful, but is a very different player to Tanaka. Tanaka runs in straight lines while Ueki is all over the place. Also I am not sure how much time she has spent actually playing as a striker. This season could be a good test for them.

 

Take the win, however you get them. I thought Nojima would get flogged, so I am disappointed but also happy.

Does anybody know for certain if their is relegation this year? I have been to the website and all it says is that there will be know games for promotion and relegation.

edit: I actually just had a look again. I think they are not having relegation or promotion. But I don't like to trust my Japanese.

 

also is it Iga FC Kunoichi or Iga FC Kunoichi Mie ?

Hmm... so basically it's 6 months without football for all of them untill NWSL 2021 season starts again. I really do hope their clubs will release them on loan to Europe.

 

Yes, no relegation nor promotion.
