Sayonara, 2022

A tough and packed schedule comes to an end, leaving some breathing space: a perspective over retirements from 2022.

England, Australia, and Japan meet in one experience: that’s the story of Daniel and his love for J.League.

J.League has been a nice environment to develop within. Alessio Mariani is a solid example of this path.

The first year without any J1 goal reminded us of what Yōichirō Kakitani could have been (and he hasn’t been).

Will England be the next promised land for Japanese football and its players? Harry for sure hopes so.

Unlike other realities – for example, Nara Club or any club from Mie –, FC Osaka weren’t expected to get promoted. Now what?

A bitter exit because of penalties hurts, but this doesn’t have to stop Japanese football from thinking ahead.

Another newly promoted team rocking the league and a surprising promotion: these have been the awards for 2022 in the third division.

Matsumoto Yamaga can say… they’ve failed. But at least “MVP” Ayumu Yokoyama could be a sign of things changing.

Despite missing out on promotion, Kagoshima are doing things properly. Koki Arita winning “Best Signing” is a sign of that.
