Consadole Sapporo 3 - 0 FC Gifu (ht 1-0)
Ahh the trip to Sapporo.. was it worth it? Hell yeah! Apart from the game itself it was a great trip and seeing Gifu play in the dome was awesome.
But the signs were there from the start when Gifu walked out in their home uniforms. Gifu rarely play well in that uniform, and under the lights of the dome it shows that the uniform is probably the worst in the J league....
The game itself was as the score indicates dominated by Sapporo. Gifu defense wasn't too bad but Consadole just had the right players for the job. The injury to Kawashima in the second half (broken collarbone??) is going to hurt. Gifu was finally getting their defense sorted lately.
This wednesdays game is against Yokohama FC. A must win for Gifu to keep off the bottom of the table. Unfortunately with Kawashima and Kikuchi Kan out due to injury theyre probably going to have to win by scoring goals.. (paste striker here.)

It`s a fantastic place to watch a game eh!! Footy in the Death Star!! I went in 2006 and Verdy lost as well, it also did nothing to take the shine off the trip though. Fantastic seafood, superb ramen, no traffic on the roads, landscape similar to the UK I`ve a tear in my eye as we speak......
I was thinking exactly the same. NZ scenery etc... home sweet home!
Next (after Fukuoka, Kumamoto and Okayama) will be the big trip to Tokyo! What can i expect there nerdy??
Gamewise hopefully you can expect a thorough pasting:)!! However, stadium wise absolutely don`t get excited, there is more life in a tramps beard than at Ajinomoto these days. 50,000 seats with a usual crowd of about 4 or 5,000 sometimes less for the new teams. The pitch is miles from the stands and recently they actually started putting microphones next to the supporters so it doesn`t sound QUITE so crap on TV (I kid you not).
Tokyo itself however, well pretty much anything you want to do, can be done in Tokyo. Your trip can be as cheap or expensive as you like.If your an electronics gadget hunter or a seedy pervert you can get anything and everything. The Emperors pad is there. There are two shit football teams and there is a tower.....that`s about it I reckon!
Have I missed anything out??
