Episode 434 - Solid Samurai Blue, but Who’s on the Plane?

After an encouraging international break for the Samurai Blue, we discuss Tuesday night's battling draw against Ecuador and last Friday's impressive win over the USA, and then try to piece together Hajime Moriyasu's squad for Qatar. How many of the 26 spots are already locked up, and which players might be left on the outside looking in?

Then in Part 2 (from 35:30), we review the Levain Cup semi finals (to 42:50), and look ahead to what should be an epic J1 Matchday 31 on Saturday.
