The #JLeague is turning 33 years old, and some questions start floating around, like: "This team should be higher/lower than where it is right now".

So we gathered a panel to ask them how they'd see an "ideal J.League" - here are the results 🗳️🇯🇵

@JTalkPod I am a paid up member for sure. I also like a first time volley. The Verdy one comes from a mistake as well which makes it a little less pleasing for me.

[Sam Robson @J1SoccerSam]

@aishiterutokyo Fair enough. Got my hopes up. Ideally they'd be a bit more careful in their wording of their promotion.

[Sam Robson @J1SoccerSam]

@aishiterutokyo This is the tweet I was referring to.

[Sam Robson @J1SoccerSam]

@JTalkPod If it's anything like my Cerezo pick last year, I've guaranteed you a thumping opening day win!

I like how dramatic the J.League YouTube channel is. Didn't realise Kashima were on the brink of extinction had they lost to Avispa.
