Official 2021 Nadeshiko Japan Thread [R] - なでしこジャパン（英語スレッド）

I partly agree with you.

 

Fair enough! That would explain why I have not noticed her in the Beleza games of late! It also explains why I Nakasato has been more prominent in recent games.

I know exactly what you mean. Some of the press conferences with Takakura at times were so perplexing, because they would not push her enough for answers regarding her selection policy.


I think HIroshima might beat JEF today. If they do I will watch it after the battle for 9th between Nojima and Niigata.

 

Nojima score their second goal of the season! Lopez with the header. Quite a good header, but maybe Takahashi maybe should have done a better job at keeping it out.

It looks like it might be a good game now.

 

Niigata have scored due to a Nojima own goal. I cannot even begin to explain how it happened, but Ishida is not the most intelligent of players. People will just have to watch it in the highlights.

 

Nojima are back in front with a goal from the seventeen year old Nishigori. The assist coming from Lopez who has now contributed to both goals.

 

Niigata draw level with another own goal, though the flick on from Michigami was pretty good. Kitakata for the own goal.

 

Niigata take the lead with a nice goal from Takikawa who has been very good for NIigata today.

 

Niigata now score their fourth through a nice header from Michigami.

 

Elfen scored the first goal (Yuumura).

 

In the end Niigata win 4-2 in a rather entertaining match. I am not sure Niigata deserved to win the match, but in the end they were the better team in the second half and took their chances well.

The first own goal was bit of a calamity for Nojima and really was not ideal. Niigata like Nojima have been going through a bad run of form and Nojima really needed to make it as hard as possible to score just to build the anxiety.

Anyway, Wakisaka was back in midfield and played very well. Lopez who has been improving with every match contributed a lot more. She did not drop as deep except for defending corners which meant when Nojima went into attack she was near the penalty box.

Takikawa was very good with Michigami for Niigata. On paper Niigata than where they are on the table. I will be curious to see how they go in the second half of the season.

Nojima may actually do better in the second half of the season. Lopez is now fit and Hatanaka is back in training, so she will really help them out in defence.

 

DAZN.....Chifure v Reds......Caption on screen but no game..1504 (0604)...here we go again

Edit..1515hrs....still no game....this DAZN stuff is getting past a joke

Edit..1525....still no game.....caption now reads..."no views...4 days ago"

 

Have now tried everything to recieve this non existant 'free streaming ' game between Chifure and Urawa and it just aint playing.
Somebody somewhere needs to get their act together or I would suggest overseas viewers are just going to give up on the W.E. League
(especially if they find themselves getting up at ridiculous times to watch a game that doesn't appear)

 

H.T,
Chifure 1-0 Urawa

 

Chifure sit deep to block Urawa's offence and sometimes gave sharp counter attacks using the speed of Nakamura and Yuumura.
I wonder if Chifure can endure Urawa's pressure in the second half.

 

Probably not based on the first passage of play!

 

Question...Sundays 'free streaming' Mynavi v INAC game starts for me at 4am....do I risk getting up at 3.45am to look at yet another 'blank' screen
(sorry to go on but it is really frustrating when all you want to do is watch a live game of football)

 

Elfen were a litle unlucky not to get the win today. I am happy they drew because Nojima stay above them, but for how long? Nakamura in midfield was good in the second half for Elfen in my opinion.

Last week Urawa really played with much more intensity, but this week again they looked like they were going through the motions a little bit.

 

Today's result:

WE LEAGUE
Nojima (Lopez, Nishigoori) 2-4 Albi (OG 2, Takikawa, Michigami)
Sanfure (Shimabukuro) 1-1 Jef (Kishikawa)
Beleza 0-0 Ohmiya
Chifure (Yuumura) 1-1 Urawa (Shiokoshi)

 

Nakamura Yushika's contribution of both attack and defence was outstanding.

 

I've been a fan of her for about ten years, but today's performance may be the best.

 

Tomorrow's game:

WE LEAGUE
Mynavi vs Inac 13:00

 

It seems they were having technical difficulties with the stream in general, not only overseas.

At least it seems like a different problem than what was happening 2 weeks ago.

I would say give them one last chance.....?
