The Robert Walters Team of the Week goes to Saitama Jets. They faced off Fussa FC where the result of this game would substantially change their placements in the table.
Both teams used frequent subsitutions in short intervals, trying to dictate the pace of the game to their liking. A few scuffles occured throughout the game through contact play, simulations in the box but it was Jets that scored first. Fussa equalized later making the game neck and neck but it...
The Robert Walters Team of the Week goes to Suns, after their hard-earned win over Hibs.
After their win over Eastern Capital back in September, Suns FC have struggled to see a win. Having just faced another tough loss the week before in the ESR FJ Cup against YeBoiz, Suns were determined to change their sails. And what better place for a team to take a new direction than Atsugi Cancha, a new pitch for TML and with Noguchi Naoya, a class 2 licensed new ref for the...
Jetro FC kicks off 2023 with a banger of a win to earn the Robert Walters Team of the Week. After a long xmas break for the TML, the very first fixtures of 2023 was kicked off at YCAC on January 7th 9:00AM by Jetro FC and King George. Jetro's season has been riddled with ties (4 in total) putting them just above King George by 2 points. As the standings table indicate, there is a far smaller gap in points between teams allowing each game to truly be competitive. This game...
The final fixture of 2022 occured at Hachioji Park between two teams with a serious shot at winning the league.
A very competitive and physical game in which BEFC took an early lead through Keita Kasai. Fun fact, Keita actually played on Panthers previously making this a goal against a former club. The first half ended with no new developments, a single goal lead by BEFC parted the two teams. Early into the second half, Panthers scores an equalizer. As tempers...
The Robert Walters Team of the Week goes to FC Nomade after their win over Saitama Jets at Redsland. Right from the start, FC Nomade knew this was going to be an uphill battle. They only had 10 men on the day and were facing a full squad of Saitama Jet's regular players. With much of the french players motivated from a so-far decent run of France in the worldcup, FC Nomades played above and beyond. Surprisingly the game started off immediately in FC Nomades pace. Each...
This weekend saw the debut of the Kemigawa pitch down at Chiba. A venue run by Tokyo University, it hosts several natural grass pitches.The teams found out that the grass was slightly long, perhaps providing a disadvantage to teams that like to play short passes.
The Robert Walters Team of the Week goes to Shane FC after winning against BEFC Lions. With an unfortunate dropout, Shane were left with 10 men to play against BEFC Lions with a full squad. A worrisome...
A very tough week down at the Footy Japan offices, where we have lost the ability to get matches played at the prized BST pitch. We once again would like to remind all the players that the pitches are not owned by us, thus everyone at such venue should be on their best behavior.
This weekend yielded some interesting results. A draw between Eastern Capital and Hibernian FC, where Eastern Capital had the lead until the final minutes of the game until Sukui Ono tied...
FC Sagarmatha could not have hoped for a better start to the game, scoring a well executed counter attack in the opening 10 minutes. One deadly cross from the right side for a well placed finished in the box. However, Guapo were not going down without putting up a fight. They slowly started to create an equal amount of opportunites until they finally equalized from a corner. The game was neck and neck for the first half, ending in a 1-1. The game ramped up in intensity...
