F-MARINOS TOP THE J-LEAGUE

J-League: east asian soccer
J2 regular season culminates on Sunday, 20th November.

On Saturday afternoon Yokohama F Marinos regained the lead of the J League after downing Sanfrecce Hiroshima. The weekend was a top of the table showdown with one playing two, and three playing four. All four teams still remain in contention for the J League title, but it was F Marinos and Urawa Reds who took full advantage.

At Nissan Stadium, Yokohama and Hiroshima played a mostly dour first half with few opportunities. For Hiroshima Yojiro Takahagi proved the most threatening with two shots on goal denied by Yokohama keeper Enamoto. Yokohama’s best chance of the half came and went when Shunsuke Nakamura made the mystifying decision to pass to his right rather than left where marksman Marquinhos lay in wait, bearing down on goal.

But the two teams would be separated by a piece of individual brilliance provided by youngster Manabu Saito. The left sided midfielder snaked his way past a number of defenders, to find himself in the box within shooting range. Saito let fly with an unstoppable shot into the left side of goal. It sent the 39,000 plus Yokohama fans into raptures, and it was enough for the Tri Colours to regain the lead of the J League. After the match Saito was quoted by the Japan Times saying, “Since we played Urawa Reds in the league (Aug 28) I haven’t been able to play as well as I would have liked . . .” The 22 year old has enjoyed a stunning season and it wouldn’t be surprising if he was the next J League star to be stolen away by the European leagues.

In the other big match of the round Urawa travelled to Kashima and took all three points. The Reds appearing in their repugnant green-blue kit went ahead after 20 minutes, when defender Daisuke Nasu headed home a corner. The second goal came via a long range strike by star Genki Haraguchi. Admittedly Haraguchi was the recipient of some woeful goalkeeping. Yuya Osako gave the home team and their 30,000 plus fans some hope in the 87th minute, after sloppy defending allowed him a shot on goal which he duly gave some violence. The match ended 2-1 and now the J League heads into its last five matches with six points separating the top five teams.

Cerezo Osaka have now joined the race for the title albeit as outsiders. They sit six points from Yokohama, but in their favour Cerezo will play three of the teams they’re chasing in Hiroshima, Kashima, and Urawa. Next week: Hiroshima host Vegalta Sendai, Kashima host Kawasaki Frontale, Urawa are at home to Kashiwa Reysol, while Yokohama travel to relegated Oita, and Cerezo Osaka also travel to the island of Kyushu to face Sagan Tosu.

  1. Hi DC, First let me congratulate you for the extensive, comprehensive and absolutely no match work like you do! Outstanding! Just wanted to tell you I have updated my 310XT and done a few short distance triathlons here in Brazil and the distances have shown much less of a difference when used on the wrist…as opposed to swim cap (which i particularly dont like just because i am afraid of loosing it…)anyways, keep up with the good work mate! cheersAndre Dias

  2. Drumul Judetean 207 B pe segmentul Simionesti – Sabaoani si de la iesirea din Sabaoani – Mircesti cui le lasati ? Parca sunt ale nimanui … dar domnilor se circula pe acele sosele, si lumea vede ce se face si ce nu.Aveti 2,5 km din Simionesti – Sabaoani si alti aproape 2 km spre Mircesti , Iugani. VA RUGAM DE 22 DE ANI REFACETI DRUMURILE

  3. Yo no te daría ningun consejo. Porque me pasó exactamente lo mismo que a ti. El único consejo es que hagas fotos cuando y de lo que te apetezca, por placer y no por obligación (no como muchas personas que lo hacen con fotos aburridas, malas y sin nada de interés)Al final yo acabé haciendolo por hacer, o recuperando fotos sacadas en un mismo día para subirlas separadas, carecía de interés y de gracia. Ahora, cojo la cámara cuando me apetece, pueden pasar semanas, o un mes, pero al fin y al cabo hay que esperar a que aparezca eso llamado “inspiración”

  4. Amen! I can have a beer (please note the word/letter “a” for all those who believe in prohibition)after a hard day of work while watching SHU play. This is America. Now all I need is for it to be a reasonable price, but beggers can not be choosers.Did they explain or show how they cover the upper seats/level for not well attended games?BB

  5. FARK ME! You look frigging DIVINE!Perfect for traipsing around a field.Some people will use any excuse NOT to dress up, but I love how we all use any excuse TO dress up!HURRAH!O,you are a teasing tart….I'll suffer until your fabulous finds are preened for showing off!Love the sweet treats you've been receiving vis blogger lovin'!!!That pic of you and Krista is frame or even T-shirt worthy,you gorgeous gals!I'd LOVE to have been the meaty in that sandwich……Love Helga xxxXXXxxx

  6. A total of 885 new samples from five populations (Syria, Jordan, Iran, Egypt and Kuwait) were collected and analyzed forthis study. In addition, samples and genotyping data from 951Lebanese, 200 Syrian and 101 Palestinian men (Akka) were already available (Zalloua et al., 2008a, 2008b).

  7. neataam facut maia de secara din cea alba fara probleme.insa din cea noua, din clipa in care am schimbat pe faina de secara 100% (deci fara faina alba) nu s-a mai intamplat nimic.din experintele mele (si am avut destule) faina alba unbleached se transforma muuult mai repede in ce trebuie decat faina se secara. Pana la urma maiaua de secara se poate face din cea alba si gata. N-am aruncat amestecul, il reimprospatez in continuare cu 50g amestec de ieri, 50g apa, 50g faina de secara si asta pt ca nu am multa. I’ll keep you posted! 🙂

  8. Great comment. There seems to be this big issue of ” randomized trails”. Well, having seen the device and how it works, I feel it would do a great injustice to the patients who are treated with other Barbaric procedures like sents in the periphery. Again this opens up the subject of if you don’t understand then don’t comment. Silverhawk is a amazing device with fantastic results. !!!

  10. About Us – Information on how to lose weight fast – Fat Loss Revelation Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again very soon!

  11. I have been through heavy metal detox before. It really works. You feel a little light headed at first. It takes a little time to get your body used to the process. It helped me to actually be able to wear jewelry. I always had a problem with wearing earrings, even real gold. After I detoxed, I had no problem.

  12. "Does anyone here care about ACORN?" Nope. And I co-sign with trickster206.[un]constructive one I think uptownsteve might be right about you. Why did you ignore my post about the black kids that beat down the white kid on the bus. Did I not condemn them for their actions? Two murders in Ga. and you want me to comment on that? Look at my sidebar. We have had 211 so far this year. I am doing my part to try and reduce that number. I hope you are doing the same.

  13. Hurrah for weirdos! Especially when they look as stunning as you, lovely Vix! The dress is fabulous. I'm liking the midi length, it's good to mix it up a bit and surprise people, and the colour and sparkle make it anything BUT mediocre. (As if you could ever be mediocre!)Love your collar, love your finds (shawl, earrings and maxi kilt most of all) and especially love you, oh wise woman who rants the truth! Have a great weekend. xxxxxxxxxx

  14. Pour les symptômes de la GRIPPE A il faut savoir que les problèmes respiratoires arrivent en général au bout de 3 jours sinon ce sont les mêmes symptômes que pour une grippe saisonnière.J’ai également entendu parler que le rhume était plus présent chez certaines personnes dans les DOM-TOM.

  15. >>SeattleA tough win featuring our running attack, which demolished them. I frankly don’t see our ground game approaching those levels from here on out. And when we play them again half of their secondary will be suspended, right? It didn’t and still won’t give us much evidence on how we play that particular playoff caliber team, no matter the QB.

  16. offtopic : mai bine in calitatea ta de admin, sa-mi spui cum sa fac sa mearga embedul ca sa prezint content de prima mana pe prima pagina, sa nu trimit oamenii hai hui stiu ca e cliseu, dar daca nici imaginile astea nu merita atributul de socant, nimic pe lume nu-l mai merita …

  17. Grande post! You really went into great depth here. As someone who spoke German as a first language it’s easy to pick up on the nuances found in the vowel sounds of the German language. Yet, I see so many English speakers having a hard time distinguishing between these sounds.Your post was really insightful, obrigado.
