J-Talk: Extra Time – J2/J3 Hundred Year Vision League Season Preview

Jon Steele and James Taylor return with a preview of the J.League’s half-season tournament for J2 and J3 teams. First, James runs through the tournament setup and prize money (to 04:45). Then Jon talks about Yokohama FC and Tochigi City from the East-A group (to 15:30) and Sapporo and Matsumoto in East-B (to 25:20). After that, James looks at Imabari and FC Osaka from West-A (to 33:50) and West-B teams Tosu and Yamaguchi (to 46:05). The boys finish with a discussion of the different ways clubs might approach the HYVL (to end).   Big thanks to Mike Innes for sharing his detailed notes on the J3 teams.   Thank you for your support of the J-Talk Podcast and J-Talk: Extra Time.
