Consadole Sapporo got blown up by Iwaki FC's man-to-man pressing but in the (very few...) times they managed to attack, I did like Hiromu Tanaka. Some good runs on the Left to create what little danger Sapporo did create.

yeah, surprised at how Hiroshi Omori has looked so far for Okayama ,, only played in J3 up to now. At the very least doesn't look out of place at the J1 level.
Like Kota Kudo, Okayama's scouting seem good at being able to project/scale performances to a higher level of play

ここまでやれるのか。大森博は「能力が高いから全部を守れてしまう」。ファジアーノ岡山新加入CBのルーツは中学時代に【コラム】
ファジアーノ岡山は2月14日、明治安田J1百年構想リーグ地域リーグラウンド第2節でサンフレッチェ広島と対戦し、1-1で突入したPK戦を5-4で落とした。これで開幕戦に続き、2試合連続でPK戦での敗戦となった岡山だが、明るい材料もある。J3

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

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.

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..."

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?
