    Supachock Sarachat deserves a better club than HCS

    Supachock Sarachat is an absolute powerhouse, some of the goals he's scored are phenomenal. That brace against Sagan Tosu are perfect. I feel as if he's wasted on Petrović, I have no clue how that guy is even still manager. He only has two goals this season when he had 7 in 24 appearances last season. I love Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo as a club but I feel as if they've warranted relegation for a while now. Consistently poor results and performances. I'm hoping Supachock gets a move to another J1 club or at a decent-side in Europe. A lot of Southeast Asian players return to their home domestic leagues or get a move to a second-division European side, rarely getting game-time then having a mediocre career.

    Nguyễn Công Phượng scored an absolute beauty of a goal against Yokohama F・Marinos in the derby to put a nail in the coffin for their title hopes, but sadly Yokohama were relegated and now he's playing in the V.League 2 with Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc FC. It's just such a waste of good talent. I hope a similiar situation doesn't happen to Supachock.

    Omiya Ardija is now RB Omiya Ardija and the branding (including the new logo that appears in the video) will be used starting from January 2025.

    Where to park near Ajinomoto Stadium on match day?

    I’m going see Tokyo Verdy play at Ajinomoto Stadium this Friday but I couldn’t get the official parking voucher. Will all the normal hourly parking lots be packed on match day? Please let me know your recommendations on where to park, anywhere within a 20 minute walk to the stadium is fine.

    [SERIOUS] Why is FC Tokyo so inconsistent?

    I am a FC Tokyo fan. Mostly I support them because they are my local team and Nagatomo used to play for my local team in Europe ... and somehow I like them.

    But how can this team can win one week away against a team that is battling for the title and that is arguably superior on a man-to-man basis AND THEN loose the very next week at HOOOOME against a relegation bound team we should be trouncing. I understand that JLeague is a very tight league and there is not as much difference between bottom and top as lets say Serie A, but wtf?

    I am searching for insight from people that good at strategy or analysis. What is FC Tokyo lacking? what is the source of this because I have had the feeling we've been beating tougher opponents and loosing games we should have won all season long.

    Is the purple rising sun flag in the Hiromshima supporters terrace controversial?

    Watching the match vs Kyoto and as someone who can only occasionally tune in because of time difference I found this very surprising to see.

    First J-League game ever!

    Hi everyone, I am visiting Japan for the first time, and it looks like the closest game to me this weekend will be Mito HollyHock (I am staying near Tsukuba).

    Does anyone have any advice for my first J-League game? Are there any other games I should be considering nearby? Where should I sit in the stadium for the best atmosphere? Where should I go before the game?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Arigato!

    Emperor’s Cup Lottery Resale

    I have been successful in securing five tickets for the Emperors Cup final, however, am no longer able to make the game and am looking for a way to refund/resell these tickets. I secured them with a QR code pickup.

    Is there any way to resell these tickets through JFA like regular J-League season tickets, if not is there an alternative?

    Any help if greatly appreciate

    Not a great design but could be a very significant jersey.

    Really not a pinstripes kinda guy, and my motivation for buying this was, simply, being a Gamba fan. After our win vs. Marinos, this jersey could now represent our first trophy since the inauguration of Panasonic Stadium.
