JTET - Levain Cup Round 2 Review (16 April)

After the rest of the Levain Cup Round 2 games were played last Wednesday, Jon Steele covers all of the action from a J2 standpoint in an 8-minute mini-pod.

All 5 of the J2 v J1 ties last midweek went into extra time, but in the end only one 2nd-tier side made it through to the next round!

Jon also nominates a Most Bravo Player from the midweek madness.

JTET - Levain Cup Review (9th April)

In a fashionably late mini-pod, Jon Steele looks back at last Wednesday's Levain Cup action from a J2 perspective.

There were derby wins for Imabari (in their rescheduled Round 1 game) and Iwata, as well as a night to remember for Yamaguchi as they slayed a J1 giant in the form of Kashima Antlers.

Jon also picks a Most Bravo Player, and previews the remaining Levain Cup fixtures in Round 2 (being played this Wednesday evening).

Sorry about the slow upload this week - Jon has been working at full capacity!

Episode 563 - J1 Matchday 10 with Sean Carroll

Sean Carroll made a very welcome return to the podcast this week, as we round up J1 Matchday 10, and the surprises and disappointments of the season so far.

We begin with the history makers in the top two, Fukuoka and Kyoto both flying higher than they ever have in the top flight, then move on to the incredible story that is Okayama, after their away win at Hiroshima. We also discuss Kashiwa's strong start, and Tokyo Verdy's early struggles (to 52:30).

Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben chat about the other five games, and look ahead to upcoming midweek and weekend action.

JTET - J2 Round 8 Review

A bit later than scheduled (sorry!), James Taylor gives us a solo review of all of last weekend's J2 action (Round 8 of the season).

In a 10-minute pod, James also nominates a Most Bravo Player for the matchday, and previews the Round 9 matches coming up this weekend.

*Jon Steele is working on a review of the midweek Levain Cup action from a J2 perspective - that will be posted as soon as it's ready (let him cook, etc.)!

Hope everyone enjoys the pod!

Episode 562 - J1 Matchdays 8 & 9

Jonny and Ben round up two full rounds of J1 fixtures, with a focus on the weekend's Matchday 9, in our new episode.

We begin with the new frontrunner for game of the season - Kyoto's remarkable away win over Kashima on Sunday - before discussing the hard fought draw between Machida and Kawasaki, and the rest of an eventful Sunday chock full of tremendous goals.
