J-Talk: Extra Time

2026 MEIJI YASUDA J2/J3 100 YEAR VISION LEAGUE

ROUND 5

DEUS EN COMANDO

Really got to try to get to the Blaublitz away game there in 26/27! 🤩

A fun day at Mitsuzawa: no Yokohama FC game to get stressed about, & we did the stadium tour - playing on the grass was great!

With all my heart I want to have Hannah with me in Parliament next week. She is not only the best candidate to beat Reform but just simply the best new MP you could wish for.

If you are voting today, choose Hannah, and tell everyone you meet to do the same! 💚💚💚🙏

Attendance at a partly sunny & quite windy Mitsuzawa today for Yokohama FC 5-1 Tochigi City in the 100 Year Vision League: a pretty decent 7, 158.

Tochigi brought a reasonable contingent for a relatively new club, with the away section about 50% occupied. #JLeague

Moments after that, a Hosoi long throw led to a 4th goal which Komazawa is claiming, but I’m not sure he’ll be allowed to keep (looked like an own goal to me). We could relax & enjoy the remaining 38 minutes, including a late 5th goal from Joao Paolo.

Not a perfect performance, but a great win!
