Ogawa.....Iga 1-0 edit....H.T. Iga 1 Ehime 0 Not the most exciting 45 mins in the League so far this season.Very very disappointing showing from Ehime
Do I see right that Michigami was subbed-in just now, at the end of the game? (It seems to me that she use to wear #9). Why didn't she start for Iga?
F.T. Iga 3 Ehime 0.....Congrats KAPI.... 3 goals 3 pts Why Ehime abandoned their 'keep the ball at all cost ' game in the first half is a mystery...also some poor goalkeeping didn't help
Not sure if @unepommekun will agree with me or not, but I find Iga's (former Sfida's) Hitomi Mori very pretty.
Today's result: Nadeshiko League Iga (Ogawa 2, Nishikawa) 3-0 Ehime Nadeshiko League 2 Nittaidai (Tomioka) 1-0 Chifure
By the way is notable that third-placed (and former leaders) of Chifure lose to third-to-last Nittaidai! Utter craziness in Division 2 this year.
Tomorrow's games: Nadeshiko League Nojima vs Cerezo 15:00 Albi vs Mynavi 16:00 Beleza vs Jef 17:00 Nadeshiko League 2 Harima vs Yamato 13:00 Setagaya vs Jumonji 14:00 Orca vs Bunnys 14:30 Nagano vs Nippatsu 18:00
I watched this game. The goal that Nittaidai scored nice, but the Chifure defence sort of went to sleep. Chifure had most of the possession, but could not make their chances matter. Also Nittaidai did some nice last line of defence defending. Chifure seem to be lacking an edge, I am not sure what they can do. Nagano plays as a holding midfielder and although she is quite clearly very good on the ball and passed the ball well, she looked a little disinterested. She is class, but she can't be improving that much in league 2. I can't imagine next year with the new league she will stay with Chifure if they are not in the top division. A team like JEF could really use her.
An article kind of about the new league next year. If this has already been posted I am sorry. https://japantoday.com/category/sports/maryland-businesswoman-leading-launch-of-japanese-league
Well, most comfortable result of the season, but until 2-0 I watched second half with some fear seeing Iga couldn't mantain the ball more than a few seconds, but second goal was decisive. I don't understand either why Michigami was sub today, but her substitute scored 2 goals, so, no complaints
