When non-footy people ask how we keep going after soul-crushing, debilitating 7–0 defeats on bitter-cold January nights, the answer is days like these.
After 4 straight loses, not many gave Kanto Celts a chance of taking anything from Saturday nights match verses table toppers Tokyo Hibernian. The match between the two earlier in the season produced a dull 0-0 and once again Kanto Celts held firm and did not concede. The difference in this match was that Celts took their chances. 3 in total.
FC International put themselves into title contention with a convincing 5-2 victory over Pumas FC. Pumas FC who were unbeaten this calendar year, started off the brighter team by scoring first on Saturday evening. By the time they had finished celebrating it was 1-1 with FC International scoring straight after kick off. By half time it was 2-2 with FC International once again coming from a goal behind.
Canada is celebrating it's greatest ever result. A 0-0 v Eurpean heavyweights Scotland in an International friendly. We want to join the party so it's time to introduce yet another TML player to you all. The latest Candian heartthrob to grace the TML is Andre Herath. Please read on for his thoughts on our wonderful league:
It's a shame we don't have a player of the week award as it would go to one man. Division 1 top scorer Koji Oguro netted 7 of the 9 Panthers goals on Saturday evening against Imperio FA. His tally now stands at 20 for the season.
Nikolai and Ma also scored to help them win this weeks FJ TOTW.
Aged, orange fools, King George FC, scoffed at their mid-table mediocrity by recording an emphatic win over a resilient Oakwood Clash in Shin Koiwa.
After a season filled with sluggish starts and sloppy goals, the Saitama giants finally turned in a convincing performance despite going into the break at 1–1 thanks to a Colin Cameron goal.
Four second-half goals from Yuki Utsumi, Ryosuke Urai (2) and Thomas Bright ensured a 5–2 victory and earned KGFC the coveted FJ TOTW crown for match day 27.
Our second player profile features this seasons leading expat scorer in the whole of the TML. Alo Sakk is one half of the forward line that is leading the British Embassy to the Division 2 title. Let's get to know the biggest Estonian Footballing export since Mart Poom.
