Aother live games today (yes 4 .. thats FOUR... in one weekend) Cerezo Osaka 3 - JEF United 0.
Osaka were pretty good and their goals were all scored by a wee Japanese fella by the name of Okubo or something.
Sandro played for JEF and he was crap so he was hooked in the second half. Marguinhos played for JEF as well.
Osaka had a chap by the rather gay name of Miki who came on late in the game.
Immediately afterwards the nice people from Japanese telly showed highlights of the FC Tokyo game (1-1 FT) and the game they had just shown live and the remainder of the J2 league games they hadn't shown yesterday.
By my calculation EVERY SINGLE FOOTY GAME in the J1 and J2 leagues has been shown on telly this weekend to some degree. And the lassie that does the highlights show is a wee cutie.
Erm.....LEARN K-LEAGUE and KOREAN TELLY PEOPLE!!!!

Ah for anyone who cares...Miki is .......  Miodrag Andjelkovic Who has had more teams than you can shake a stick it. The biggest one being RCD Espanyol but he's also played in Israel, Poland, Brazil(?) , Japan and about 34 spells at OFK Beograd. What a man. Wonder if he knows Zoran? |

He might know Zoran... he played for Incheon United during the first stage of the K-League.
Scored quite a few goals, too...

Is it because J-League defences are crap, or the strikers are better than in the K-League? Seeing as they pick up the same strikers who play in the K-League for a year or two anyway then I'd go with the former...  Just for comparison then, here are yesterday's J-League results. Let's check with the raft of 0-0 and 1-0 scorelines in the K-League today: Gamba Osaka 7 - 1 Cerezo Osaka Albirex Niigata 3 - 0 Oita Trinita Nagoya Grampus Eight 1 - 1 FC Tokyo Tokyo Verdy 1969 0 - 2 Vissel Kobe JEF United Ichihara 0 - 4 Urawa Red Diamonds Jubilo Iwata 1 - 2 Shimizu S-Pulse |

I'd say its a bit of both....the Japanese strikers seem to be a cut above the Korean ones (or at least they are more willing to try to shoot rather than walk the ball into the net) but the defences are much less solid.
Could just be a style thing where J teams play a bit more open and attacking whereas K teams seem to want to play more defensively.

Absolutely mental scores and others stats are not that unusual in the wacky J-League. But there are weekends of quite a few 0-0s as well. I remember Oita Trinita winning 8-0 away to Vissel Kobe last season, and Kobe were not that close to relegation. In J2 this season Kawasaki Frontale are already champions and are now 24 points and plus41 goal difference ahead of the team in 2nd place. That gap has actually narrowed a little! Bad defences, good strikers, personally I think it isn't really either. Off the field there are quite a few things that the J-League does better than the K-League. But as regards playing standards, I think the K-League as a whole (not just the top teams in each, which is perhaps closer) is quite a way ahead. Of course, the K-League also has teams which are struggling, but in several years in Japan, I've found that usually half the teams in the top division are extremely poor, albeit sometimes amusing to watch. And J2 is just Sunday afternoon pub team fat bastad pisshead standard. I think holyjoe put up some stats recently showing that in K-League v J-league games, the K-League teams are quite comfortably on top and that's been the case again this season even though the J-League's top team has 2 of the best players produced by the K-League in it. Consider also the enormously higher spending power of J-League teams and that K-League dominance looks quite a telling indictment of the J-League playing standards. But when you're suitably oiled and don't really care about the result, it's still good fun  |

now we know who ate all the pies in Korea and why I can't find any!!! Thanks to my vast knowledge of Katakana I can now inform you that Japanese for Sandwich is in fact 'Sandro' (well its Sando but close enough ) So the question should be 'Who ate all the Sandros?' UNfortunately the answer (both metaphorically and literally these days) would be ... SteveW  |
