All things J.League, from shirts to stadiums and Wenger to Kazu. Kit reviews with visits to all J-League stadiums to find out which is the best machday in Japan! Cans, karaage, conbinis, and football.
I was watching this thinking it was the derby match played a few weeks ago. Didn't realise it was from a few months ago till we scored lol. Fantastic video nonetheless.
Yes took a while to get this out, sorry pal! Banger of a game, just a gutting end. Fingers crossed Verdy finish the season strongly now! Thanks for watching, Henry!🤝
1. Congrats on Breaking 3k guys. Glad you guys were rooting for the green half of Toyko this is my bucket list J-League fixture really hope I can attend the Derby in the future. This was a wild game and at this point in the season it felt like Verdy couldn't get out of their own way in the final 10 mins of every game. However things picked up and sitting on 35 points (as I write this) I am hopeful Verdy can stay up and consolidate their position next year.
Thanks mate, appreciate that! Yes what a fixture, this was the first J1 Tokyo derby in 16 years - hopefully many more to come, and hopefully you’ll get to see one! I think Verdy should be safe now…seem more relaxed and are better at closing games out now, so fingers crossed eh.
What a great day and had so much fun experiencing my first J League match with you ! Loved the video and look forward to doing it again when I'm next over
Been a while but we’ve got a nice bit of content on the way! Ha, yeah Machida aren’t winning over any new fans that’s for sure. Would be a crazy story if they pull it off though! Would bring a lot of attention to the J.League
Such a lovely looking stadium, sad Gamba lost their classic logo, Nagoya and FC Tokyo now too, although I don't mind the Tokyo one as much. Cor he really did almost free-kick it in, didn't he!?
Hi guys! Would love to go to a Reysol game in October but I'm struggling to understand the ticket sales process. What are the chances to get tickets and how does it work? Cheers!
Thanks for tue comment! If you’re in Japan already you can buy tickets at the terminals in the convenience stores up to one week before for the game (or at the stadium on match day if they aren’t sold out). Alternatively you can buy on the j league website if you have everything set up here. Easiest might be the convenience store, as the staff can always help you if you get stuck!
1. That is an awesome SmackDown jumper! 2. Chris would win because he sounds like a right fridge freezer and has a chin scar, which means he has defo done some scrapping haha
Ha we try to support the home team as much as we can. That was a pretty stinky game tbh, iniesta really poor but we’d really been looking forward to finally seeing him play. Super frustrating!
@@jleaguejourneys Yeah man Iniesta is my boy, what a legend. I have watched every video from start to finish in like a few days and now you got me using "stinky" all the time haha
Hello.I am going to travel in japan and i would wanted to learn which ticket to reserve to be in the ultras area of Yokohama F Marinos.Please answer me
Hi I’m just have a few questions about the shimizu S-pulse shirt you’re wearing. Do they still sell them in Japan? Are they as expensive as they are from online stores? Are they real or fake shirts? I noticed it says S-pulse in the centre of the shirt but the team kit in 1993-1995 says JAL in the centre instead. Does that mean mean anything in terms of the authenticity of the shirt? I hope you reply, arigato gozaimas.
Hi mate, thanks for the message. These shirts are real and were bought from a store called Vintage Sports for about 15,000 JPY each. This was a while ago though so prices may have gone up since. These were the original shirts used for J.League matches I think from 93-96, and (I could be wrong) the one with the JAL sponsor was used for cup games, so both versions should be real. Easiest place to buy them now is Mercari, which ideally you need to be a Japanese resident to use, but you can also go through third party sites like Buyee that will buy on your behalf and ship to you.
@@jleaguejourneys thank you so much for the prompt reply. I purchased a shimizu S-pulse 1993 home kit for roughly double the price you originally paid for yours but I don’t mind as much because I was ecstatic to know that shimizu S-pulse was a real team since I only ever heard of them from the classic anime goal FH: field hunter, so I was quick to buy the shirt when I discovered this. I purchased the shirt from a website called cult kits which is a legit website and I’m glad you clarified the difference between the home kit and sponsored shirts. You’re a legend!
Al-Ain are a tough opponent, the second-leg could go to penalties. I have a feeling either Lopes or Nam will score the first goal and Uenaka will score another late into the second-half. Big if's but I am a gambling man lol.
Big ifs indeed. Marinos dominated the first leg in terms of overall chances and attacking play, but when Al-Ain went forward they looked so much more clinical and dangerous. If Marinos sit back they’re gonna be taken apart, hope they go for it and play for the win!
Pretty sure the keeper in the vid is third choice, just a young lad. He did make me a few decent saves, but definitely felt a bit nervous watching him. A good experience for him though!
I was there too! Sat in the stand to your left. Nice to relive it all through your lovely vid. Good work & as a Leicester fan I love that the guy to your left (as viewers see it) was wearing the classic Leicester 1983-85 home shirt!
Nice one, was a great game! See you at the away leg eh! Also yes, didn’t speak to the lad in the Leicester shirt much but good to see someone in a classic English kit!
