Tokyo Verdy - J-League

king_of_the_slums

They won in injury time, no, no away days for me.

Next one is away to Jublio, who lost so take Nagoya's place as the J1 team to beat to gain promotion. What a mad promotion system this is, eh?

4th and 5th play each other. Then the winners of that 4th and 5th play off play the 3rd placed to win 3rd spot in J2. And the winners of that 3rd place play off play the 3rd placed from the bottom J1 side.

Verdy gain promotion if they win their third away win, which is the 3rd in J2 against 16th in J1.

Head's spinning, but happy for the men in green..

The final game in this complicated decider on the 3rd place promotion to or retention of J1 status.

Verdy have earned the right to be called the 3rd best team in J2 after winning two playoffs away from home in order to earn the right to play 3rd from bottom in the J1, Jubilo Iwata.

The stakes couldn't be higher for Verdy and for a team that dominated for nearly 10 years when the J-League was created. Get J1 status and you can start playing against the likes of Iniesta et al.

Forza Verdy!

Just signed Gary White as new Head Coach. English lad who got Hong Kong to the top of the qualifiers of the Asia Cup against North Korea, Mongolia and Taiwan. The press seem to think it's a good signing.

Let's see if we can get him posting on here?

OFFICIAL: Reverun has replaced Verdy-kun as Tokyo Verdy's main mascot. Verdy-kun will continue activities as an "honorary mascot." A retirement ceremony will take place after Sunday's season finale against Mito Hollyhock.

Number #1 when it mattered Verdy-kun!

Missed out on automatic promotion to J1 by a goal difference of 4.

Into the play-offs they go, starting on Sunday.

We've been here before and lost in the play-offs and been out of the top flight for 17 years.

This year we have a solid young team that can and will score goals. Maybe this time, they're going to go all the way.

First up, at home to JEF United on Sunday..

Unite as 1 - Time to Go!

And yeah we have a lot of teams, much like European clubs, most of them smashing it apart from the men's football..

I cycled past Ajinomoto Stadium this morning at 8.30 or so and there were already fans there, even though it was flipping freezing. It'd be good if Verdy were promoted so there'd be a proper Tokyo derby.
