The Japanese football thread

Watching Japan vs Senegal U-20's. Theyve got that thing where after a var decision is made they announce the reason for the decision on microphone. I quite like it.

 

Wonder who it is? I think Matsuki has the potential to get to that level but I don't think it will be him.

Edit: Likely Kamada who is out of contract but I think AC Milan are chasing him too.

 

Cracking player and a decent move for him

 

Good video. FC Tokyo singing YNWA and doing the huddle is interesting. Their pre match is madness.

 

Btw all three games he goes to have better atmospheres than almost every Prem game.

 

Brings back memories. I saw Kashiwa lift the 'FA cup' in 2013 too. The one thing I'd say though, while it is very noisy and colourful, it's also a tad bland. Same as when I saw Gais in Gothenburg, noisy but a bit bland. Hard to explain but it's all just 'nice'. Compare it to the UK where we literally want to kill everyone at a game and it's a bit meh. Guess you need that threat of violence lol. Having said that, it's well worth doing though!

 

Cracking move for him.

 

We need a GK. Why we didn't bid for him is a mystery.

 

Utd aren't bidding £5M without properly vetting a player and having the correct conversations with the club. We probably didn't go after him because this was already wrapped up behind the scenes

 

Was hoping we'd go in for him ages ago. He's on the smaller side for a keeper but has outstanding reflexes and agility. Ok with ball at his feet too.

Wouldn't have been ready for the no.1 jersey though as he has a few howlers in him and tends to flap at or misjudge crosses. But he's a very good prospect. Much better than Tobi Oluwayemi anyway.

 

Decent goal this. Lovely through ball...
