La Famiglia: That's it! We have secured our J1 status with a month still to go in the season. I cannot remember the last time we did that...
From a neutral perspective, this would've been a decent match. Very open, quite a few chances, end to end. But in terms of skill, it lacked a lot on both sides - especially the blue one. Yamagata were terrible, and as much as it hurts to see a team relegated, based on this performance, they deserved it. That said, they could have snatched a draw, having hit the bar twice. Popo and Yoshida were both immense for us and it was only just that they both got on the scoresheet. Lots of negatives to take out of this, but today, let's not.
We have survived.

The defending that lead to Popo's goal was woeful.Hopefully Kofu can gain some points on Urawa.

thats why i thought it was bad defending, the last person to be left alone would be popo.

I just got back from australia and we had cheap tickets in the main stand. i will join you for the last home game and inbetween i will try and get to the cervezo game.
