In part 1, Jon talks about Kofu v Nagasaki (to 03:40) and Mito v Yokohama FC (to 06:00) before electing a Most Bravo Player (to 07:30). Then in part 2, James reviews Yamagata v Iwaki (to 08:50) and JEF United v Kumamoto (to 09:50) and chooses his MBP (to 10:50). To round out the episode, James previews the round 25 games that take place on the first weekend of August (to end).
