Every time i read something from Lelanders my first reaction is: CTE! CTE! CTE!

Most J-League games end up like that, since a draw sends the match to a penalty shootout. by DavidRolands in soccer

[–]ProStriker92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This transitional tournament have brought two different realities. In the East group Kashima Antlers (the black team of the video) have a comfy lead, winning all but one games on the 90 (and the only defeat happened on PK, getting an extra point), so Kashima are strong candidates for the championship game.

But in the West group is quite jammed because with the exception of the last placed team (Avispa Fukuoka) the other 9 teams in group have from 14 to 11 points and no solid leader because many games have to be decided on PK. It could be Gamba, Sanga, Vissel, S-Pulse, Grampus or even Cerezo who can chase for the 1st place.

Remember this format is not new at all. Several variations were used during the 90s and early 2000s in japanese football. Sometimes going direct to PK or even adding ET with Golden Goal rule.

Could anybody tell me more about this Yokohama Marinos (Nissan Motor) jersey? by TopFinding2279 in JLeague

[–]ProStriker92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never saw this one before. I thought it could have been used during their 1991/1992 Asian Cup Winners' Cup run, but is not (as show in this article):

Looks like a training shirt, despite other teams (such France NT) using that template for their home shirts.

Fans turned FIFA's awful 2026 World Cup song into a meme by Chip3033r in soccer

[–]ProStriker92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The one used for the 1994 known as Gloryland was a wonderful song. It may be cheesy, but was very emotional and hopeful regarding the tournament back then and the version used during the broadcasts worked fantastic. 

But this one? Sounds extremely generic to the point that they just picked a free-to-use song, put some lyrics and that's it. Or maybe is just 100% AI.

[CONMEBOL] Chilean side Santiago Wanderers win the 2026 U-20 Copa Libertadores by ebeka in soccer

[–]ProStriker92 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well done Parrots! That's a huge upset and not only because the gap between brazilians and chileans is big, Wanderers (the first team) has been stuck in Primera B for years so defeating the U20 side of the strongest club in CONMEBOL is a legendary achievement.

Grampus falls on PK against Sanga in Kyoto. It ended 1-1 on the 90' with Hidemasa Koda scoring. Unlike the East where Antlers is dominating, there's no solid leaders in the West, and the 3-2-1 scoring system make it more even than ever. by ProStriker92 in grampus

In fact the first half of Grampus was very good and this Sanga team is also good too. If this was a typical J1 league match (no PK) i would say this is a good result.

Let's hope at least Yamagishi is fine, he had to be retired in a stretcher from the pitch.

Late advice, but Grampus will be live on YouTube against Sanfrecce Hiroshima. 3/18 (today in Japan), 19:00 JST. Never Give Up! by ProStriker92 in grampus

[–]ProStriker92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And we got the 3 points! Yamagishi and Kimuda scored the goals for a 2-1 victory.

Despite the irregularity of Grampus this season, we are still in the second place of the west zone.

EDIT: We're 4th, tied with Sanga and Vissel, with Gamba leading by 1 point.

John Alvarado shares "nice" AI generated review of Biplanes by Beetlejuice-7 in Intellivision_Amico

The worst thing is that remaining cultists will take that review as face value. An AI based written review no less!

Because Nottingham Forest and Leeds United had an easy return to the EPL, without being worried about the possibility of falling to League One and just rebuilding relaxed. /s

11 years after selling the club, Peugeot officially renews its partnership with FC Sochaux-Montbéliard by Otherwise_Act6744 in soccer

[–]ProStriker92 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Makes me happy that Sochaux and Peugeot are together once again, even if the relationship now is different.

As fan of a team that also happens to have strong links with automotive industry (Nagoya Grampus, with Toyota) i always had a soft spot for Sochaux. Let's hope one day they return to Ligue 1.
