2005.12.11
FIFA Club World Championship


AS THEY ARE ALL INTERESTED IN WORLD CUP DRAW (yes, we are in the same group of Aussie, Croat, Brasil!), "expanded TOYOTA CUP" is kicked off in Tokyo today. The cup's tickets used to be VERY hard to get but now it has broken. Final tickets are STILL available and prices are reduced from the list prices on the black market due to expensive regular prices. Liverpool and Sao Paulo will save the tournament?

Gamba Osaka won 2005 J.League


Histric scrambled league, the champion is the most offensive team. The attack of the top scorer Araujo with Fernandinho and Oguro is very attractive that helped the poor defence and nervous Nishino's managemnt. Congratulations! Gamba.
Our Urawa Reds chased and finally reached 1 point behind without a single week top position. Kashima Antlers lead the spring / summer season, but they failed to keep their top form. Jef United Ichihara Chiba and Cerezo Osaka are new favorites. They have good systems, well organized, work hard.
2005 is the first season that employed single season (they used to have the dual season system) that brought the very exciting year.
