I believe Yamamoto is now the top goal scorer as it stands, on 5, Kakoi 2nd on 4?. I also think they're her first 5 goals for 3 years. This seemed more the other way around. Though Setagaya opened the scoring at 5 minutes it only took Viama 18 minutes to get ahead. It was only a penalty that got Setagaya back level. There was Fujizakura for one game 2 years ago. While they were tier 5 they knocked out a tier 2 team. Win or lose for Ichihara and they are still probably the most successful of the 48 teams this year, 3 games ,3 wins, knocked out 2 teams from 2 tiers above themselves.
Really? I'm not so sure. Vonds doesn't seem a weak team at all. They beat Shizuoka, and they have some familiar talents like Ohkouchi, Murakami or Ueda.
Urawa join INAC at 2nd place, but remain behind both by direct clash (0-1 for INAC, so far) and by goals scored with an identical goal difference of +11 (19 goals for INAC, 16 for Urawa), whichever is the first tie-breaker in WE League (that I don't remember ). Fuka Tsunoda had scored two goals in AFC Women's Champions' League, but she's at her first goal in the league: is she an usual starter?
Moeka Minami and Saki Kumagai are both starters in UEFA Women's Champions' League's clash between Wolfsburg and Roma, with a place in the quarters at stake; going to start in less than an half hour :

I remember his face: was he the coach of Denmark NT at some time? Maybe when they managed to reach the Euro final vs Netherlands in 2017?
Yes, I remember him from the quarterfinal win against Germany. He was also the coach of Switzerland at EURO 2022 (less successful).
Yes, now I remember about that Switzerland's stint. The style of play of his Denmark was anyway quite exciting, as far as I remember, and he seemed quite good at group-managing (althoug it was of course more simple with players who shared with him a same culture and language). What other jobs did he have meanwhile? I hadn't heard about him in a while...

Not bad: so he managed to know quite a good number of his future NT members... Oh, by the way, since, as it often happens these days, the original tweet that had been posted by @Ponde_Ringu doesn't seem to work anymore, I and @Lohmann are talking about Nils Nielsen, new official coach of Nadeshiko Japan.
The big question for me is how much Nils Nielsen will value the WE League and players performing in it. Sure at the moment there are few domestic players in the NT, but most of the regular NT members were already regulars before their move oversea, so there wasn't really a feeling of bias towards a region (EU) over others. I wonder if this will change with a non-Japanese head coach now. WE League is undervalued oversea and it lacks of visibility. We can see it even more during this time of the year where individual awards are everywhere and the season Kiko Seike had is unnoticed. I'm not sure managers are impervious to this phenomenon. It's something that can affect them, even subconsciously. TL;DR: I want my favs in the NT!!
Ayaka Yamashita, Yui Hasegawa and Aoba Fujino played whole match for ManCity vs St.Pölten in their UWCL match.
Interesting. Shizuoka posted about the retirement of Riho Hino a week ago. 【#日野李保 選手 現役引退のお知らせ】日野 李保選手(MF/14)が、2024シーズンをもって現役を引退することになりましたので、お知らせいたします。様々なクラブでの経験をチームに伝えてくれ、2シーズン地元・静岡のボニータで闘ってくれました。#静岡SSUボニータ pic.twitter.com/9FqiGwxf8J— 静岡SSUボニータ (@ssubonita) December 7, 2024 It was reposted a couple of days later by........
