Celts and Sala took place this weekend down at the natural grass fields of Kemigawa. Both these teams were placed mid table so it was no surprise that this game was going to be neck and neck. Sala had the Nakatanai brothers present, a duo that would be a threat for any team they face. Celts had legend Shosuke and veteran Shinji to lead their team with experience. Yet it was none of these 4 players that appeard on the score line. New signings for this season Kalifa Diabate...
A great vibe down at YC&AC that hosted the master 7's tournament last weekend. With 5 teams signing up to play over a 2 hour period, each team played each other twice for a total of 8 matches each. Participating teams were: Celts Masters, BFC, YC&AC, Footy Japan and Fine Vintage FC. It was truly wonderful to see so many familiar faces gather and play some football with their mates once again. The pitch was filled with smiles, laughter and banter from the sidelines...
Freshly promoted from Division 3, Nomades have quickly adapted to its new environment in Division 2. And why wouldn't they, with many of their players so young, they are bound to mold into the situation they are put in.
They currently seem to be doing quite well, recently winning against top of the table Suns FC at St Marys. Although the game could have gone either way, some of the older players on Nomades really help stabilize the team to victory.
BEFC Lions had a rough season last year ending in last place. Getting demoted to Division 3, their season opener proved to be another tough loss.
But what is very impressive about BEFC Lions is that despite their struggling form (only seeing two wins last season), their players remain relatively unchanged. And this is truly the mark of a football club, their players are still commited to the team despite going through a hurricane of losses.
Brunello clinch out a close game last weekend against Sala FC.
Brunello FC is a team that is run by the Oketani brothers (3 of them). The team has a strong bonding with one of the most regular turn out of core members in the league.
Starting their first game with a loss from Suns (who are in promising position to win division 2), Brunello has not looked back since. A 2-0 win over Sagarmatha at Sagarmathas homeground, they continued their streak with...
After being freshly relegated from Div 1, Suns FC have started there season stronger than ever!
Fortunately they were one of the few teams that had their game played last weekend while most other teams had their game rained off.
Picking up their second win last weekend, Suns are at the top of the table with 6 total goals and 0 conceded. That’s two wins, two clean sheets! With all goals scored by different individuals, Suns are going to be fighting...
A great season opener for Guapo FC winning their first game!
Their match took place at Mizumoto Sports Center, one of the few tokyo venues. While most teams turned down the oppurtunity to play at that location, we were very fortunate to have Kilimanjaro and Guapo organize a squad.
Although both teams looked a little rusty, Guapo looked more organized as the game progressed.
Both of their goals came from crosses on the left side, with one of them...
