When does the J-League start and end?
I gather it's different timings to the european game?

It starts this weekend with the Supercup, and ends the first week of December, with usually a break in the summer for NT's activities.

J2's Hiroshima won the Supercup at penalties after a very controversial 2-2 game over reigning champions Kashima.

I'm about to watch Kawasaki Frontale vs Tokyo Verdy .
edit (spoiler) :

game ended , desearved draw for Tokyo Verdy who was really unlucky not to score before that granted penalty in the last minute of the game .

[yokofoxes]

great result for us yesterday. nice to see the red scum go back to saitama (or whatever part of the country they actually came from) with their tails between their legs.

It was just funny to see you doing your best to look like a kind of hard core fan I've never seen in Japan .
I think it's better you just do it the japanese way being polite and all ;)

anyway here is the game I watched :
http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/7558/kawasakiverdyxm8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Kawano who entered instead of Iio made a good impression and made verdy play better . he even outclassed Kengo Nakamura in a left side 1 on 1 :D

[mumoko]

Unfortunately, here in Japan fans lately and especially in last year have started trying their best to imitate European or South American hooligans without to release why, which is pathetic and in their DNA.

Entering into pitches, shouting vulgar words - China just fine - Japan strange.


Anyhow, yesterday game was good one - I like that particular sense of the suspense to the very end in Japan League. Remember how Cerezo lost their title - with an own goal in last minute.

if you've never heard a japanese fan call another team a bad name you musn't have been to many games, wee man.

[cepo]

The idea that Japanese fans are superpolite is a cliche.
Ever been to a Hanshin Tigers-Yomiuri Giants baseball game...?

base ball is a different story but being vulgar in a stadium mood is a thing and trying to show you're that kind of guy in a forum is a different thing .

I'm talking about a different situation , we're not in the stadium are we ?
I don't think it's good for you to give this image but I won't interfere again .

alright, calm down. no need to get so angry about a harmless comment. i won't be sending you one of my kashima merde t-shirts.

I'm very calm , I just gave my impression . when you express yourself in a forum you should be prepared to reactions mate or do you want every one to tell you "eeeeeeeh" or "sooooo desu neeeeee" like in the TV shows ? :D

[yokofoxes]

i wasn't aware that using the word scum was the internet equivalent of being a hardcore hooligan, that was all. i guess i got skooled.

when did sanfreece get relegated?!? aww well, atleast now they are kicking ass and taking names in D2... though I am saddened about this... i leave japan, can't watch them play anymore and then come back from iraq and they are D2!!!

Unfortunately, here in Japan fans lately and especially in last year have started trying their best to imitate European or South American hooligans without to release why, which is pathetic and in their DNA.

you know what the beauty of being a gaijin in japan is? no matter how japanese you act, no matter how rude or unjapanese you act... you will always be a gaijin, so you might as well play the part and enjoy it! lol when i was in japan i had a blast! and i know the japanese had a blast making fun of me and laughing at me... so i really can't complain.

[jonti_swe]

浦和のファンです！:D (yep I know a little Japanese even though I am swedish, that means "I'm an Urawa fan"):p Unfortunately I can't watch J-league though, or well I know a site which has a lot of streamings and I have seen them listing Urawa games and some other J-league games there a few times but unfortunately it's always so early here in Sweden, usually the games are around 6 or 7 a.m. swedish time:( I have never seen a whole game in the league but I started to like Urawa when I saw some videos on youtube of them and especially of their very great fans! They have an extremely good support! I really hope I can go to the Saitama Stadium some day:D:p Japan is one of my dream travels anyway so....:p
Maybe someone can make torrents of J-league games?

Go Urawa!

[pkhik]

Jubiiilooooo Iwata!!!!

[Senden]

I think i'm able to get hold of streams for japanese games so i might be able to do a poor quality rip of some of them. Before I do though, does anyone here know about any possibly legal issues I might have? I'm not from Japan, i'm from England, if that could make any difference?

[mumoko]

I watched Kashiwa - Kashiam on Saturday and there was this accident where one Kashima supporter hit with his flag hit twice Alex from Kashiwa when he was trying to take a corner. He pursued him a couple of minutes and succeeded. Anyhow, too pathetic - it is so not Japanese.


Anyhow - Oita Trinita are my favorites. With virtual no budget compared to big guns, with only young players and real young manager - I hope they would mount a serious challenge for the title to the end.

[Tuck]

That fan was banned for life.

Pity about Oita... not that I am a fan after they beat my beloved S-Pulse anyway.

Hi there. Just to let you know that www.japanesesoccer.net has successfully moved to Japan and is active again.

[derfcbmakino]

Fan of Yokohama F. Marinos. The reason being that the first ever soccer game I went to was them versus kashiwa reysol. I rooted for Marinos that game because my dad lives in Yokohama. Then I found out Nakamura began his career there and my support for them grew stronger.

Anyone know where you can actually download J-league games from?

This is one blog where you can dl j-league. Also there is some games in this very forum too. http://www.japanesesoccer.net/wordpress/?page_id=2052

To watch J-League from tv, you can try Eurosport 2. Regular Eurosport don't do J-League. Eurosport 2 had J-League at least last year. Commentaries are in british. In Finland Eurosport 2 is optional channel for cable broadcast (DVB-C). Aerial broadcast (DVB-T) has not Eurosport 2. (I learned this the hardway, coz I moved from DVB-C to DVB-T apartment..) I guess you can find E2 in nordic and or Britain. Let me knoe if I am totally wrong.

I don't know any other TV channels, sorry. I guess some hawaiian channels show them KIKU-TV etc.. Japanese domestic channels are broadcasting it (thats for sure :o)

Hopefully this helps.

[shun_ghirl]

im in japan. but most of J-league games are on different channels (cable). i dont have an access to watch these channel yet but since now im starting to support Marinos again, i might get these cable channels so that maybe i can record them if i can figure it out how..
no garantee yet,tho

sometime couple of j-league games broadcast LIVE on regular channels on tv here so when i can, i will try to cap. might take a while to post,tho..
just saying i will see what i can do..

at least, i can try to record the highlights of each games on regular japanese sports program. each of them are usually short,tho. but then probably you guys can find them on youtube or elsewhere..

:)

I take it that you are supporting Marinos because Nakamura is back?:D

I lived in Japan for almost six years and went to a bunch of Urawa and Ardija matches. I really miss watching those games (and I miss Japan too!), so if you cap anything it would be great!

By the way do you know any good sites that have J-League highlights?

One of the things I regret not doing when I was in Japan 2 summers ago, was going to watch a J-League game. I went with a friend who wasn't terribly into football (and also that Japan as a country is rather expensive).

[gib2504]

Really enjoyed the game this morning between Kawasaki and Vegalta Sendai. The Sendai fans were amazing and in the last 20 minutes really deserved the win.

Good piece on the restart of the J-League here http://bit.ly/e1ySl8 got me in the mood for it anyway

Naoki Matsuda (34) has dropped dead of a heart attack during a training match. He was a former Japan intl and played in WC 2002

You gotta wonder if steroids or other PED's are playing a part in these sudden heart attacks.
Seemingly healthy 34 year-olds dont just drop dead like that.
