I think there’s always been a massive push on the players side for a move to the “international stage”. Just hope whatever money came in for him gets invested right back into firepower ASAP.

Not like the goals were drying up or anything 🤷‍♂️

But yet again we have incredibly poor planning from the organizers with both Beleza and JEF’s mens counterparts kicking off at exactly the same time same day 👎

I’m hoping mud-puddles in both goalmouths that remind you of high-school footy.

They could at least hand them out for free at games 👎

Yep. Quite the job for the kit man tomorrow.

And here are the final two matches for each of the top 3

🟢 Beleza: (A) Omiya, (H) JEF
🦁 INAC: (H) Mynavi, (A) Nojima
♦️ Urawa: (H) Nojima, (A) Elfen

🦁 INAC Kobe: a tall order. They need to both do the business against Beleza today and hope that Urawa drop points somewhere.

But with Ferron’s tenure coming to an end we can expect to see some fight from this side that is very capable of winning its last 3 games.

♦️ Urawa Reds: playing host to a sturdy Albirex Niigata side will be the core focus of their attention today, but they will also be hoping for an INAC win or draw with Beleza.

With just a point separating them and the leaders this would leapfrog them into 1st with 2 games to go

🟢 Beleza: today they host fellow title pursuers INAC Kobe in a decisive game for both sides.

But simply put, it’s in their hands as the current occupiers of top spot. Win their final 3 matches and the title is theirs. Falter and they will need Urawa and INAC to do likewise.
