    It was the Asian Games 2023 and there was a friendly game at the same time.

    No you are not. I also notice that there is no left back in the squad even though Endo (Yu) can fill this position. I mean in the league Fujiu, Kitamura and Ide are all decent options. Unless they will play with a 3 back, that would then mean having wingers covering the whole side but I'm not keen about that. Don't get me wrong, they have to defend as a whole team but for example, Nakashima isn't really good having a whole wing for her and I don't want to see Yamomoto or Hamada spending too much time and strength going back when they are obviously threats upfront.

    【comment】

    I would like to apologize to everyone involved with Asahi Intec Loveridge Nagoya for this sudden announcement. I am extremely grateful to President Hotta and the team for respecting my wishes despite the timing. I had
    a chance to win on my own, and I had many thoughts about this, but I was given the opportunity to play in a place I have always aimed for, so I thought this was my chance and came to this decision.
    I will do my best with determination and responsibility so that I will not regret this decision.

    Since coming to Loveridge, I have learned the depth and true joy of soccer from Iso-san, goalkeeper coach Mao-san, all the staff and teammates. I am truly grateful to the team for helping me grow so much as a player and as a person. Loveridge's soccer is really fun, and I loved creating the soccer together with everyone. That's why I'm really sad to be leaving the team at this time, but I will do my best to achieve my dreams so that I don't lose to everyone.
    Thank you so much.

    And to all the fans and supporters who have always supported us,
    to the volunteer staff who have made it possible for us to play in hot and cold weather and even through typhoons,
    we were able to give it our all in every single game thanks to the support of so many people.
    Thank you so much.

    Finally, to everyone at Asahi Intecc Co., Ltd.:
    Thanks to everyone who has provided me with an environment where I can concentrate on soccer, and who has always been warm and supported me at all times, I have been able to work hard for three and a half years. I was really happy that people from all departments came to watch my games and told me they were watching my games and encouraged me to do my best. I am also very grateful that I have had many valuable experiences as a member of society and that they have helped me grow even though I was not able to do anything. I am really happy to have been involved with Asahi Intecc and to have had the opportunity to meet all of you!
    Thank you so much for the past three and a half years.

    I'll do my best so that I can meet you again after having grown even more!!
    Thank you so much.



    [Club comment]

    Since joining Loveridge Nagoya in 2022, he has grown steadily and has led the team as captain this season.

    The transfer of Kakiuchi, who is captain and capable of high-level build-up play from the back, at this time is a big blow to a team aiming to win the championship.

    However, like Ezaki, we respected Kakiuchi's desire to play at a higher level and decided to send him off.

    It will be sad to no longer hear his angelic voice during practice and games, but I look forward to seeing Kakiuchi continue to do well.

    Thank you, Aina!

    Nadeshiko League 1 confirms being quite open and unpredictable: Shizuoka had just managed to raise a little closer to Nagoya when the latter had their first loss of the league last wek, and now they lose to third-to-last Nippatsu and risk being passed by Iga tomorrow. :x3:

    Meanwhile, Sfida's Mitsuki Horie takes the lead of the scorers' rankings alone. :coffee:

    @unepommekun, remind me of why you're particularly happy about Ayumi Natsume's PK. :cautious:

    ...But Nadeshiko League 2 is even more crazy! :eek: Both leaders of the rankings, Bunnys and KIbi, lose their respective games and super-debutants of VONDS reach the top of the league with another resounding win!!! :eek::eek::eek: Nanako Takeda scored her third goal in her two games with VONDS so far and, especially, @Elstree's darling Sai Otsubo scores her second of the season! :D Do you know if it was a PK, guys? I read that there was a PK for VONDS in the 2nd Half, but the scoresheet of Division 2 doesn't say which of the goals are PKs. :cautious:

    Even FC Fujizakura Yamanashi, with their win of today (two "classic" scorers for them, reminding of the previous seasons: Yumiko Tsujino and Saya Wakita) are now just 1 point behind Bunnys and Kibi

    Meanwhile, at the top of the scorers' rankings, Kibi's Rua Nishimura, Nankatsu's Kasumi Ishikura and Yamato's Haruka Hamada keep increasing their respective tallys. :coffee:

    I became her fan in the University Championship two years ago.
    She plays as a left FB, and always shows stable performances in every game.

    Some news from York Lions Stadium:

    TOR-HFX - 21 June 2025 (open)
    Kizaki Aoi and Nakamura Megumi both started today's match - across from each other at the centre circle!



    Kizaki-senshu was subbed off in the 73rd minute, while Nakamura-senshu played the full 90, as AFC Toronto won by 3 goals to 1 against Halifax Tides FC.

    The next match between these two sides is at the Wanderers Grounds in Halifax on Tuesday, the 15th of July 2025:

    H.T...Harima 2-0 Ehime
    First choice goalkeeper from last season Komatsu get a start....Kono,Nishimura,Fukasawa start on the bench.
    Another high pressing game from Ehime but Harima have simply been too good for them defending extremely well and taking their two goalscoring chances when they presented themselves...Hitomi at 13min with a nice strike and Masano at 38min
    Miyu Mori starts on the right of defence where she is absolutely wasted..been outpaced by the Harima winger really easily on at least two attacks..she's a natural for the centre of defence...Ehime have had their fair share of the ball so there is some hope for a turn around the second half ..here's hoping

    F.T...Harima 4-1 Ehime
    Sometimes your team gets beaten by a better side and sometimes your team gets beaten by a better side but you actually help them along by giving away possession in critical areas and presenting them with simple goalscoring chances (Masano 63min lobs goalkeeper Komatsu) as well as putting up a really toothless attack ( one shot on target at 87 min Kojima forcing good save plus FC at 87min forcing another good save)...Nishimura replaced Mori for second half...Kono and Hiratsuka came on for Matsuoka and Tanoue to no avail...(can't help thinking Fuka Kono must be starting to regret her move) Maeda gets a goal back at 90min+4 and the game finishes.
    Ehime FC Ladies are a real enigma...you don't know what you're going to get from one game to the next...hey ho
