Enjoyed that game... Ronaldo AND Messi put in their places within a few hours!

To be fair, IIRC it took a year of consolidation - and narrow escape from relegation - at YFM before the team was ready and they then won the championship! Have faith?

Al Nassr former president seemingly has had to buy tickets to give away for ACL semi-final v Kawasaki Frontale. After under 12000 watched "home" 1/4 final, seems tickets need to be free or attendance will again be low?
Or is that cynical of me?!

Just spent 45 minutes searching for attendances on web - nowhere to be seen! Intentionally not announced?
If it's not going 2B two-legged games, then we need East / West separate tournaments and "grand final" (two legs? Neutral venue) between East and West winners.
2025 is a joke. (IMO. You?)

ACL quarter-finals in Saudi Arabia been a disaster so far?
Except for the plans of the AFC, and the " West area". That's gone to plan, almost. But empty stadiums, biased (it seems) seeding, match days (extra rest planned for favoured teams?).

Laughable formation for Yokohama F.Marinos shown on DAZN for their game. Only GK Park is in his correct position, and the manager is Argentinian?
Someone getting fired, I hope, or do they just NOT CARE enough to do ANY research?

Ange Postecoglou - would he return to F.Marinos?
Would they go for him (yes, surely!)?
Discuss!

A week later shows Antlers, Reds, Reysol, Vissel ready to equal/better if games in hand won, Sanfrecce would be a point back, but that's IF games are won!!
With 25 games to go Sanga need c.15 points 2B safe. Serious point, as they can relax(?) which will help them continue to achieve good results?

Kashiwa Reysol match ball, squad-signed (2020? You can tell me as I'm not at my desk!). M.Savio the signature featured here, of course. #JSoccerMuseum

Good to hear, on the other hand, it was not even touched upon (and he did obstruct the DF). I really want more from commentators (and officials). But I've been asking that for three decades now!

Back to drawing ways, and perhaps the dullest of all of our recent games, a 0-0 against Verdy at home. This photo shows the most exciting moment of the match.  #frontale #川崎フロンターレ

Sanga go top, but that first goal was offside (different player, that player then blocking a DF from getting to Elias). Then Elias shoved Inamura (?) in the back before scoring. Weak refereeing. (All IMO, of course). WEAK DFing for second goal. Sanga aren't TOP-OF-J1 good, but must be enjoying it.

J1 tonight...

1. Kyoto Sanga
2. Avispa Fukuoka
3. Kawasaki Frontale
4. Fagiano Okayama
5. Kashiwa Reysol

Who's have thought it?
* Sanga game just finished with a win, they've played an extra game, though only Avispa could overtake them tomorrow!

"Football is unforgiving at the highest level, especially in the digital age: it’s a world of hot takes, viral abuse videos, AI-generated image banter and dressing-room rats leaking to monetised aggregator accounts..." Good read from @vincerugari.com www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer...

A ‘noble death’ seems inevitable for Postecoglou at Tottenham

It speaks to the dark, oppressive cloud of negativity that has settled over Spurs that most people seem to have totally discounted any possibility that they could still win a European trophy.

Thespa Gunma went ahead 3-2 in the 91st minute, then Nishimura truck twice. Made it 3-3 less than 15 secs. after restart, then scored the winner less than 20 seconds after the next restart! Technically two goals within a minute of play!!

Let's keep MM off BlueSky... it seems that he "reports" 100 rumours then delates the 99 posts that were wrong.
(eg. this one!)

With just 140 minutes played, and one start this season, FC Osaka substitute Masaki Nishimura just scored twice in added time to give FC Osaka a win in a rare Friday afternoon J3 game, to keep his team atop J3
