Eredivisie is also heavily investing into nips for some reason, so expect to buy them for 40m+ each in the next few seasons:
>Itakura
>Watanabe
>Ueda
>Ogawa
>Shiogai
>Maikuma

And some others

Spurs have got a young CB from Frontale called Kota Takai

>the time of a country with birth rates below replacement rate
sorry weebs but it's over before it even began.

In Germany even 4th division clubs in bumfuck nowhere often have Japanese players these days

how do they produce so many really good players but their national team is always crap?

>>150312283
Japan produces a bunch of ''not so great or famous but somewhat decent'' players and the Japanese NT usually slightly exceeds people's expectations
So it's kinda like the Switzerland NT and there's nothing really weird about it

>>150312283
Crap how? They’re the most successful AFC country, and the only AFC country that manages to get out of their WC group most of the time.

>>150304979
How is Ueda regarded in the Netherlands?
Sometimes he looks like quite skillful strikers, but at other times he looks extremely unreliable flop.

>>150313604
he didnt fit Slotball, but under Van Persie he might do a lot better since his tactic is more technical

>>150304979
kodai saino is pretty good too, im surprised nobody picked him up this summer

>>150312240
>replacement rate
not a real thing

>>150312475
We all suport Japan against european and brown trash.

>>150315413
I wonder how they still whites in costa rica.
Surrounded by browns they should run over

>>150320059
I've met Nicaraguans less brown than Ticos, but they are all brown at the end of the day.

>>150312213
-ACK

>>150312278
what is it about the japanese league and system that is improving their footy culture and their overall play/ability at such a quick rate? Japan was literally never into football until the 90s but somehow became intereste because of football anime and now they're technically the most successful national team from there.

>>150321157
From my perspective, I actually envy MLS, which is now flush with money and has become a destination where star players from all over the world gather.
In the early 1990s, that was exactly what the J.League was.
Back then, soccer’s popularity in Japan was at its peak, and the newly born J.League attracted stars from around the world such as Zico, Leonardo, Stojković, Dunga, Buchwald, and Littbarski.
In the end, it couldn’t surpass baseball in popularity, and nowadays the league has lost much of its money and shrunk in scale.
Most stadiums are not even soccer-specific; they are multipurpose venues with running tracks.
When I look at Western stadiums without those ugly tracks, where the pitch is much closer to the stands, I can’t help but feel truly envious.

japs are good at baseball and boxing
when will they get good at rugby or handegg?

Doan has been great in pre season
Him and Jonny B are the perfect offensive duo, quick Japanese winger and German turbo striker

Tbh, we’re still lacking the squad depth to realistically make a WC quarterfinal run. What we really need are more starters in the Bundesliga, Serie A, and ideally the Premier League, basically, players consistently starting in the top 5 leagues.

Doesn’t have to be big clubs either.
Mid-table or even relegation-battling sides are fine, as long as we can build out a full three-deep roster of top 5 league players.
Right now, when you look at the projected squad and still see guys from 2nd division level teams like Southampton in the mix, it shows we’re just not there yet.

>only AFC country that manages to get out of their WC group
In the 21st century, Japan reached KO 4 out of 6 times. Worst Korea reached KO 3 out of 6 times.
Japan has never gone beyond R16. Worst Korea reached Semis.
K League clubs have better H2H record to J League clubs in Asian Champions League.

>>150321157
Unironically it's their collective autism. They established goals like win world cup by 2050 o algo and pursue them religiously. J League parity is kino though. Clubs largely compete on tactics unlike Europoid football where it's wage bill determining

>>150321847
But J League clubs are building stadiums. Kyoto Sanga, Gamba, Sanfreece Hiroshima.

You can't suffer in Japan. Think about it, we both had no say in the matter yet you spend your one life in Japan while I live in bantu shithole Kenya

>>150327060
Japan is currently ranked 13th in ELO Rating, making them one of the near elite teams.

Most world cup teams that won had an absolute legend that fans and the country could anchor off of. When will Japan have that player?

>>150332533
There’s no way we’re winning the next World Cup.
Countries like the Netherlands and Portugal, who’ve had world-class squads for decades, still haven’t lifted the trophy. For us, with the round of 16 as our best-ever result, winning it all would be so absurd that even an anime wouldn’t dare write such a bullshit script.
Our realistic next goal should be making the quarterfinals, nothing more, nothing less.

>>150332901
It's a knockout tournament, bigger memes have happened in sport than an inferior team getting a nice draw and lucky against better sides a couple times in a row. I'm thinking Greece in euros 2004.

>>150312240
Don't look up Spain's birthrate.

>>150305076
blue lock audience doesn't watch footy

>>150335533
greece is the only real anomaly in these major tournaments excluding copa america

>>150312283
Their NT is good it just tends to choke whenever it's about to take the next step.

>>150313604
Mediocre

>>150336424
Another Portugal W

Japs are the biggest Germanophiles, even more so than me, when I was briefly a National Socialist
