Getting Equipped

Ok, this is perhaps a good post to introduce the new direction of this blog... First of all, I won't guarantee a picture for every single post, simply because it takes time to format them for the internet, and time I have not. I am shooting for a full time-job, and... Ok, more about that later. Second novelty is that I will leave most of the technicalities such as games' data and the like to www.japanesesoccer.net. It makes no sense for me to write the same stuff on two blogs, nor it makes sense for you to read it... twice. (Doh!)
In other words, this will become more of a personal blog, about my experience about supporting a Japanese team that has never played more than two years in a row in the first division... and we're at the beginning of one of those second year!!!
So, I haven't been living in Kyoto for almost three years, my last J1 game as vs Albirex in 2006, it was a crappy 1-1 that we should have won. I am so HUNGRY for a J1 game that I am literally counting the days as I did as a child before Christmas.
To kill the long days I am watching millions of J.League goals on the most refined of God's Creations (SkyPerfecTV), while I also flirt a bit with minor soccer (European Champions League and the like...).
The huge news is that -YES!- I invested with extreme (and frightening) joy 13,650 yen for a new Kyoto Sanga FC jersey. Now, the next step is to get equipped with a season pass, which costs only 26,000 yen for 20 games (a bargain, if compared with the jersey!).
Finally, the forbidden dream: hop on a shinkansen and escape to Oita to watch Sanga play there in round 2... Ok, well, let's begin to see how it goes with Vissel, since the pre-season games so far haven't been too exciting.
Big tactical drama at Sanga at the moment: 4-2-3-1 with Hayashi, or 4-4-2 with Toyoda...? Well, you know what I think, uh?
