Japan is going to have so many sick soccer-specific stadiums by the mid/late 2030s! 🔥🔥

Should dovetail nicely with JFA's plans to host an Asian Cup or World Cup in the 2030s~2040s

Ideological labels do not explain everything, but we should be clear about the intellectual tradition from which Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae emerged.

Takaichi Sanae is who she is
What matters is, as always, how she navigates between ideals and reality

Haven't watched the game yet but why in the world is Shiogai being played at LW & have Diomande run rings around him. Bizarre way to use him.

Some truly woeful penalties in the Gamba vs. Nagoya shoot out... 🫣

Maciej Skorza on the 8+ minute VAR check:

"This is an unusual situation. I have to admit, I have not seen the play, but I trust VAR. I presume that this is the right decision. During this break, we were trying to (keep) our players (moving), because eight minutes is quite a long time..."

turning into FC Penalties at this point but who cares 😂
February 14, 2026 at 8:14 AM
Yessss Yamadaa
1-1
February 14, 2026 at 7:59 AM
VAR is taking nearly TEN minutes for this Urawa goal/non-goal

FC Tokyo’s set piece defending really has not changed since last season

Two games in a row now btw 🙃

Muto's goal vs. FC Seoul is absurd. He wins the ball in Kobe's defensive 3rd off a throw-in, drives up the entire length of the pitch without pressure as FCS's DF just keeps backing off. He enters the box & just casually pings it into the far-corner... 🥴

I really doubt it's going to be the same Japan U21 squad tbh. Our squad last time (2022) was mostly university players & then random young J1~J2 bench players (that wouldn't have much of a shot of making the real squad).
Lee Min-sung will be coaching the same team, with the KFA's promised "upgraded" players, against the same exact Japanese U21s he couldn't defeat in Saudi Arabia. This is the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, so Japan will now be the HOME team.

Who is to say that Lee Min-sung can beat them this time?

Kento Hamasaki now on vs. V-Varen Nagasaki with 15 mins to go
Kento Hamasaki played the entire 2nd Half for Vissel Kobe... well add yet another game for me to watch then lol
February 13, 2026 at 11:39 AM
Ren Komatsu still has not scored a league goal for Kobe...
February 13, 2026 at 11:20 AM
Just the errr… Zero shots for V-Varen Nagasaki at Half Time…
February 13, 2026 at 10:54 AM
Golazoo by Gotoku Sakai

Yeeesh just smashed a volley from outside the box

Kobe 1-0 VV Nagasaki

Nagoya #Grampus really looking like a Mischa Petrovic team so far. The nostalgic Front 5-ish in attack & Takamine dropping into the CB line. Some promising signs.

They did look worse when S-Pulse applied more pressure in the 2nd Half but it's only the first #JLeague game.

Managed to get through all of Matchday #1 by Friday. I'm >>not<< doing this every week (as I also need to watch J2/J3, plus 🇪🇺 leagues) but nice to know I can do it between matchdays.

JEF United vs. Urawa Reds, #JLeague MD1: JEF weren’t particularly dangerous themselves but tried to take advantage of Red’s build-up mistakes. Didn’t have the quality to actually capitalize though.
On another day maybe they finish slightly better & get a goal. Maybe.
February 12, 2026 at 1:30 PM
ah of course, the rando Brazilian ass pull golazo

Pohang 1-1 Gamba
February 12, 2026 at 11:29 AM
Really lovely pass by Jebali but Hummet absolutely has to score that!
