Podcasts about Kashiwa

After another terrific J1 matchday, Stuart Woodward joined Jonny and Ben in Part 1 to chat about Yokohama F.Marinos' away win in the Yokohama derby on Saturday night, as well as the pre-match kerfuffle that led to the away supporters missing most of the first half at Mitsuzawa, and other goings-on at F.Marinos, including Anderson Lopes' departure, and new coach Hideo Oshima (to 28:15). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben review the other eight games from Saturday night, including Kashima's third straight loss that saw them tumble from the summit, new leaders Kashiwa taking over at the top with a win over FC Tokyo, and Kobe roaring up to second after two wins in four days.

Sam Robson made a triumphant return to the pod, to help Jonny and Ben run through all nine games played over the weekend in J1 Matchday 21. After a quick look back at the Emperor's Cup and Urawa's first two games at the Club World Cup, we kick off our top flight review with Machida's home win over leaders Kashima, and the instant classic between Kashiwa and Kyoto at Hitachidai that finished 3-3. From there we move on to Hiroshima and Kobe, who surged into the top four with away wins, and then work our way through the other five games, chatting about the managerial changes at Niigata and Yokohama F.Marinos along the way.

There were certainly many talking points from the weekend's top flight round, and we begin this episode with some positivity from Jon Steele after Yokohama FC moved out of the drop zone with an away win over Shonan on Saturday, as the sky blues continue to make a decent fist of their return to J1 (to 21:00). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben continue their roundup of Matchday 17, beginning with Kashima extending their advantage at the top of the table after they downed Shimizu, and Kashiwa lost at Machida. Next up is Kyoto, who piled on the misery for bottom club Yokohama F.Marinos with a fine away win, before we move on to events at Saitama Stadium, where Urawa claimed a controversy-laced home win over FC Tokyo (Ben's rant alert). Following that we review all of the other games, before finishing with a look ahead to midweek and weekend action.

Jonny and Ben wrap up Golden Week with a look back at the midweek action from J1 Matchday 15. We begin with 1-0 wins for Kashima and Kashiwa on Tuesday, then move on to Wednesday night's action - Kyoto's dramatic late victory at Machida, and Hiroshima squeaking past Shonan - before reviewing the other games from Tuesday, including excellent wins for both Osaka clubs.

Jonny and Ben return with a midweek special, to round up the eight games played from J1 Matchday 13 on Tuesday. After beginning the episode with a quick look back at Kawasaki's ACL Elite quarter final win (Spoiler Alert: They won their semi final, too!), we begin our J1 wrap with the game Jonny was at: Gamba Osaka's win over incumbent leaders Kyoto (to 14:45). Then we move on to Kashima going top, and Kashiwa second, with away wins (to 23:10), Shimizu and Machida both moving up after also winning on the road (to 30:50), Tokyo Verdy's second straight win, and Hiroshima Crisis Watch after their home defeat at the hands of Niigata, plus the only draw between Shonan and Fukuoka.

Soccer: Kashiwa Defeats Shonan 1-0 to Rise to 2nd in J-League First Division

Sean Carroll made a very welcome return to the podcast this week, as we round up J1 Matchday 10, and the surprises and disappointments of the season so far. We begin with the history makers in the top two, Fukuoka and Kyoto both flying higher than they ever have in the top flight, then move on to the incredible story that is Okayama, after their away win at Hiroshima. We also discuss Kashiwa's strong start, and Tokyo Verdy's early struggles (to 52:30). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben chat about the other five games, and look ahead to upcoming midweek and weekend action.

We round up two full rounds of top flight fixtures (with a focus on the weekend's Matchday 4) in this week's episode, towards the end of which we're joined by Neil Debnam to chat about the early days of Shigetoshi Hasebe's reign at Kawasaki. We begin with the games involving the top three - new leaders Kashiwa, who climbed to the summit with a win away at Urawa, then Shonan's draw at Yokohama F.Marinos and Hiroshima's narrow win at home over Yokohama FC - before moving on to Kashima's win over FC Tokyo, and the battle between promoted sides Okayama and Shimizu, then away wins for Machida, Gamba Osaka and Fukuoka (their first of the season), before wrapping up Part 1 with the draw between Niigata and Cerezo Osaka (to 1:03:35). Then Neil joins us to discuss Kawasaki's 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Kyoto - Sanga's first win of the year - and Frontale's prospects in the ACL Elite Round of 16 against Shanghai Shenhua, before we wrap up the episode with a look at the fixtures in J1 Matchday 5.

Jonny and Ben welcomed Scott McIntyre back to the pod to review all of the drama at both ends of the table from that mental Matchday 37. Kobe's late, late equalizer at still relegation-threatened Kashiwa leads us off, before we discuss Hiroshima's home romp over Sapporo, and Machida staying in the title hunt with their win over Kyoto (to 43:10). Next we head down the table to the battle to avoid 18th, before we wrap up Part 1 with the other games from Saturday, including that epic 5-4 Kawasaki win over Tokyo Verdy (to 1:13:45). Then in Part 2 Scott sticks around as we hand out eight more team Player of the Season awards, and conclude with any other business.

Kobe lifted the Emperor's Cup for the second time in their history after a 1-0 victory over Gamba Osaka in Saturday's final at the National Stadium, and Alan Gibson joined Jonny and Ben to recap a cagey game won by Taisei Miyashiro's 64th minute goal, and then chat about potential offseason personnel changes at both clubs (to 39:10). Then Alan shares some nuggets from his trip to Kashiwa on Sunday (to 45:15), we round up Urawa 1-1 Kawasaki, and look ahead to ACL and J1 Matchday 37 action on the horizon (to 1:00:30). Then in Part 2, Jonny and Ben hand out Player of the Season awards for Tosu, Sapporo, Iwata, Kashiwa, Niigata and Shonan. Please follow us on Bluesky!

J1 returned with a bang after the international break, and on our new episode Jonny and Ben round up all the action from a drama-filled weekend. We begin at the top with the pulsating draw between Kashima and Hiroshima on Saturday night, a result that allowed Machida to return to the summit after they claimed a terrific away win over Fukuoka, with Kobe keeping pace after cruising past Cerezo Osaka on Friday night, though Gamba Osaka's title hopes were dealt a major blow as Maciej Skorza returned to the Urawa dugout and led Reds to a win at the Suita City Stadium (to 40:10). Next we shift our attention to the relegation dogfight, with Kyoto continuing their excellent recent form to maintain their gap above the bottom three, though Tosu and Sapporo both lost, to further dent their faint hopes of survival. Iwata stunned Kashiwa to move within a point of safety behind Shonan, who were never at the races in their loss at Niigata. We finish our Matchday 30 roundup at the National stadium (to 1:20:10), then wrap up the episode with a look at upcoming ACL and domestic fixtures, including an intriguing-looking J1 Matchday 31. You can get tickets for our live show as part of the Yokohama Football Film Festival here, we'd love to see you there on October 12th!

After another terrific round of J1 action, Jonny and Ben were joined by Lewis White and Tom Pennington to get their thoughts on a Tokyo Derby that was worth the 16 year wait (to 36:55). Then in Part 2 your co-hosts run through the other nine games from Matchday 8, beginning with Kobe knocking Machida off the summit, and Cerezo Osaka taking over at the top (to 53:10. Then its 1-0 wins for Kashima, Kashiwa and Nagoya (to 1:04:45), before Jonny recounts his day out at the Panasonic Stadium on Sunday, where Gamba Osaka downed Tosu at the death (to 1:17:20). We finish our J1 wrap with the other three draws from the round, before looing ahead to upcoming midweek and weekend action.

We're back with a full review of J1 Matchday 3. We begin in Hiroshima, where Sanfrecce went top on goal difference after putting Tosu to the sword (to 15:15), before moving on to the three teams who won for the first time this season over the weekend - Cerezo Osaka, Kyoto and Urawa (to 46:45). Then Machida and Kashiwa kept the good times rolling, and kept pace with Hiroshima (to 1:01:40), before finishing with wins for Kobe and Niigata, and the only draw of the matchday down in Fukuoka.

We're back with our next group of teams to wrap up our second week of previews. Ralf Seidl guests in Part 1 to chat about title contenders Urawa (to 37:05), before we shift our focus down the table and look at Kashiwa (to 56:00) and Niigata.

Kawasaki won the Emperor's Cup for the second time in their history on Saturday after prevailing in a penalty shootout against Kashiwa at the National Stadium, and in Part 1 of our final episode of the year Neil Debnam guests to commiserate with Reysol, but then celebrate another trophy under Toru Oniki, before our attention turns to what is sure to be a fascinating winter transfer window for Frontale (to 29:07). Then in Part 2 we discuss the Japan squad for the New Years Day friendly against Thailand, some early offseason managerial and transfer moves and the permutations for the final round of ACL group stage games this midweek, before wrapping up another bumper year in the J.League and on the pod.

It was our great pleasure to welcome Sam Robson back to the pod for our blockbuster season wrap-up episode. After a brief catch up with the great man we ran through all nine games from the final day of the season (to 1:04:08), before running through the Patreon poll results and piecing together the J-Talk J1 Team of the Season, before looking ahead to Saturday's Emperor's Cup Final between Kawasaki and Kashiwa.

Kobe slipped on a Bellmare banana skin on Saturday afternoon in J1 Matchday 31, and the top flight title race has new life after Yokohama F.Marinos moved to within two points of Vissel after a big win away at Fukuoka (to 28:15). The relegation dogfight is still a battle in three after Kashiwa threw away two points at home against ten man Kawasaki (to 43:10).

After a big weekend of action at both ends of the top flight table, Sean Carroll joined Jonny and Ben to round it all up. We begin at the National Stadium, where table toppers Kobe passed another huge test on their way to a maiden J1 title when they comfortably saw off Kashima on Saturday (to 30:50), while Yokohama F.Marinos stayed four points adrift with a home win over Sapporo (to 45:50). Next we link the top three to the relegation dogfight by chatting about Urawa's home win over Kashiwa on Friday night, then move on to massive wins for Reysol's fellow dogfighters Yokohama FC and Shonan (to 1:08:10), before rounding up the other four games and looking ahead to the ACL in midweek and next weekend's J1 Matchday 31.

Ready for the weekend, another all-new JTET episode is ready for launch! To get things underway this week, Jon Steele and James Taylor look back at a busy weekend of J2 matches in Round 38 (Start to 14:30) - Jon also reports on Kumamoto's big day out at Kashiwa in their Emperor's Cup Semi-Final last Sunday. In the 'J2 Chat' segment (14:30 to 51:00), Jon and James got together to discuss some of the main talking points from the weekend action.  The gents talked in detail about Shimizu v Iwata (14:30 to 22:45), and followed that up by sharing their thoughts on Omiya v Yamaguchi (22:45 to 31:50), before doing their best to make sense of Iwaki's 2-2 draw at home to Sendai (31:50 to 43:00).  The boys then rounded off their chat by previewing this weekend's J2 action, a sparse selection with only a pair of rearranged games on the slate for Saturday (43:00 to 51:00). Bringing up the rear as ever, Mike 'The Magic' Innes then takes over for another installment of 'J-Talk: Short Corner', bringing you all the news and previews from J3 in fine style (51:00 to Finish). Thanks, as always, for supporting the pod - enjoy the show!

Once again, the good ship JTET sets sail with a full review of the latest J2 and J3 action. To start things off this week, Jon Steele and James Taylor team up to run through all of the J2 action from Round 37 (Start to 15:20) - James also includes a quick report on Kofu's big ACL home debut against Buriram United in Tokyo from Wednesday night. After that, Jon sat down with Sean Carroll for some serious J2 discussion. The boys (alright, technically men) began with a review of Kofu's big night at the National Stadium, since Sean was there (15:30 to 36:00)! Also under the microscope in this segment are in-form JEF Chiba, who find themselves right in the thick of the Play-Off push (36:00 to 58:30) - can they finally return to J1 after their prolonged absence? Sean also helped Jon to preview the upcoming Round 38 fixtures, as well as giving his thoughts on Kumamoto's big Emperor's Cup Semi-Final tie against Kashiwa this Sunday (58:30 to 01:22:15). To finish things off in style, Mike 'The Magic' Innes has all of the J2 latest for you in 'J-Talk: Short Corner' (01:22:20 to Finish). Hope everyone enjoys the show!

Jonny Nicol is back to take you through another action-packed weekend of J1 football. In part 1 (start to 16:30), Jonny was joined by Neil Debnam to discuss Hiroshima against Kawasaki, and Frontale more generally.   In part 2 (16:30 to 30:05), Jonny reviews 4 games (Fukuoka v Niigata, Urawa v Nagoya, Kashima v Tosu, Gamba v Shonan) and reveals his Player of the Round.   Then, in part 3 (30:05 to end), Jonny looks at the remaining 4 games (Kyoto v Sapporo, Kobe v Kashiwa, Yokohama F. Marino v FC Tokyo, Yokohama FC v Cerezo), hands out his Under-23 Player of the Round, and previews the matchday 25 fixtures.   Thanks to Jonny for another excellent episode, and to Neil for his guest appearance this week. Thank you to everyone who downloads and listens, especially our Patreon subscribers for their support. Hope everyone enjoys the episode!  

With summer holidays in full swing, Jonny Nicol files solo this week to bring us a full review of last weekend's J1 action (Round 23 of the top-flight season). In Part 1 (Start to 12:38), Jonny reviews a trio of big games from the Round 23 slate (Kawasaki v Kobe, Yokohama Marinos v Gamba Osaka, and Nagoya v Kashima), as well as revealing his Under-23 Player of the Round. Then in Part 2 (12:38 to 19:53), Jonny casts his forensic Nicol-vision over three more matches (Kashiwa v Cerezo Osaka, Fukuoka v Yokohama FC, and Niigata v Shonan), and announces his overall Player of the Round. To finish things off in Part 3 (19:53 to Finish), Jonny talks about Hiroshima v Urawa, FC Tokyo v Kyoto, and Sapporo v Tosu, then gives us an in-depth preview of the forthcoming Round 24 fixtures. Hope everyone enjoys the pod - special thanks to Jonny for taking time out of his well-earned vacation to record this week!

After the short summer break, J1 was back with a vengeance last weekend, and guest host Jonny Nicol is on hand to run us through all of the key points from a busy (and very hot) Matchday 22 in the Japanese top flight. In Part 1 (Start to 08:45), Jonny reviews four of the weekend fixtures (Shonan v Hiroshima, Nagoya v Niigata, Kashima v Sapporo, and Cerezo Osaka v FC Tokyo), and reveals his pick for Player of the Round. Then in Part 2 (08:50 to 18:34), Jonny looks back at four more of the Matchday 22 games (Kawasaki v Gamba Osaka, Kyoto v Kashiwa, Tosu v Fukuoka, and Urawa v Yokohama Marinos). Jonny also hands out a gong for Under-23 Player of the Round (and it's a name that JTET listeners will also be familiar with). To conclude this week's pod, in Part 3 (18:38 to Finish) Jonny sat down for a chat with Jon Steele (nope, me neither). The boys discussed Yokohama FC's home game against Kobe from the weekend, answered a listener question or two, then worked together to preview the upcoming Matchday 23 slate (all games taking place this coming weekend). Hope everybody enjoys the show!

The 2023 J1 season reached its halfway point on the weekend, and it was all change at the top, as defending champions Yokohama F.Marinos returned to the summit for the first time since Matchday 2 after they won an all-timer at home against Kashiwa, and long time leaders Kobe slipped to third after losing in ridiculous fashion at the death to Cerezo Osaka. Those games, plus Nagoya moving back up to second with their win over Fukuoka, lead off the episode (to 34:05). Then we cover 1-0 home wins for Kawasaki and Kashima, 3-1 triumphs for Kyoto and Gamba Osaka, and the two draws to round out the podcast.

We lead this episode with a modern day J.League classic under the lights at Hitachidai on Saturday night, when visiting Sapporo triumphed 5-4 over Kashiwa (to 16:20), before welcoming Sean Galbraith back to the pod to discuss Yokohama F.Marinos winning away at FC Tokyo earlier on Saturday (to 45:00) and Ange Postecoglou's move to Tottenham - will the Australian take any of his Celtic Japanese contingent with him to London, and what does the move mean for other Japanese players eyeing a move to Scotland (to 1:02:05)? Finally in Part 3 we review the rest of the weekend's top flight action, and look ahead to the weekend when we'll wrap up the first half of the season.
