Total attendance for the 28 J1 J2 J3 matches held yesterday, May 3rd, was 420,416 , beating the previous one-day J.League record of 381,296 from (coincidentally!) May 3rd, 2024!

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?!

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?
April 28, 2025 at 4:49 AM
Ange Postecoglou - would he return to F.Marinos?
Would they go for him (yes, surely!)?
Discuss!

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

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.

"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.

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

New addition to #JSoccerMuseum JSoccer Museum collection. HUGE "Jumbo" alarm clock from 1995 (judging by teams featured). Works too! I'll take pics with some other items once displayed, for the scale!

By the end of the J1 day today we are going to see Avispa Fukuoka on top, Kyoto Sanga 2nd, Fagiano OKayama 5th and last year's strugglers Kashiwa Reysol in 6th. What odds would you have got on that at the season start? Will they last? Watch and see!
