Here comes another busy final stage of 2008 J.LEAGUE
Busy season for Japanese football fans is coming. Within 12 weeks, they have a league cup final,
the Asian Championship, the league championship with two World Cup Qualifiers.
On this weekend, summit matches - Nagoya (1st) v G-Osaka (6th),
Kashima (2nd) v Kawasaki (5th), and Urawa (3rd) v Oita (4th) - were made and
only Nagoya won three points while others share 1 point each.
Will Stojkovic's new team run out of the scrambled league?
Or Asian quarterfinalists Urawa and Kashima win back? How does the dark
horse Oita play in leaders while waiting for their first-ever cup final.
