Yesterday's result: U18 Club Championship semifinal Menina (Kurita, Shinjo) 2-0 Urawa Jef 0-0 (PK 11-12) JFA The final and 3rd place match will be live on JFA today. https://gc-model.com/01/zenkoku/girls/movie/index
Today's result (1): High School summer championship semifinal Fujieda Junshin 3-1 Teikyo Naganoka Daisho Gakuen 2-0 Yanagigaura By the way, you know well Daisho's second scorer. Can you guess who?
According to some paper, Hasegawa suggested kicking the FK to Kitagawa. Kitagawa was not so confident because it was the first time she did a FK.
No! I can guess she's a youngster, since she's still in high school, but I've got no idea where Daisho Gakuen is located in Japan, so I can't tie it to any particular team.
She was one of impressive players in the U17 Asian Cup. In fact most of their members were in club youth teams, so she was a few one from high school.
Eh eh, I don't remember which players were from high school in that team: I should look up, but it would be cheating.
We are delighted to announce the signing of @Aoba_Fujino11 from Tokyo Verdy Beleza! ✍️— Manchester City (@ManCity) August 2, 2024 🗣️ "Both physically and technically, this is a top level club. That is something I find very appealing!" Aoba Fujino speaks to us in her first Club interview! 🎥 pic.twitter.com/NEY9l5aNTS— Manchester City (@ManCity) August 2, 2024
Wow, Hasegawa and Fujino in the same club (again)! Manchester City are lucky. I wonder what a certain person living in Manchester will say...
If a certain person living in Manchester could get a season ticket he would be able to let you know...(see earlier post re Man City season ticket failure to purchase) Will have to try to get tickets 'on the day'
Today's result (2): U18 Club Championship third place match Urawa 1-1 (PK 5-3) Jef final Menina (Shinjo) 1-0 JFA
TeamCam vol.7 (geoblocked): Screen from Riko's birthday: Btw. due to family's meeting I won't be able to watch QF live, will rewatch it later without knowing the score. Nadeshiko Japan, ganbare!
Tanikawa, Ishikawa, and Hirao not included in today’s squad against the USA. Fujino, Oba and Koga are included instead.
Gutted for Tanikawa: I saw her as our secret weapon against the USA. But it's very good that Fujino is back, maybe even elated for the recent news of her transfer to Manchester City.
Koga starting has me nervous... but is she really playing defense, considering the CBs should be Minami and Kumagai and we had Kitagawa and Moriya as potential FBs? One of them will play more advanced? Also: streaming links for the match are welcome.
