Episode 218 - J1 Matchday 2 & J3 Preview

Cesare Polenghi and Richy Palmer guest on this week's podcast.

In Part 1 (to 51:40) Cesare and I review J1 Matchday 2, and touch on several early-season talking points including:

• Hiroshima's return to relevance;
• Another gaffe from referee Yuichi Nishimura and Gamba Osaka's early struggles;
• Tosu under Massimo Ficcadenti;
• Mihael Mikic at Shonan;
• And the impact Thai players are having in J1 and what it means about the overall level of the league.

Then in Part 2 Richy previews the new J3 season (to 1:16:55) before we finish the episode with a check on the key results from J2 Matchday 2.
