Late night Degenerate play...

Kashima Antlers vs Gamba Osaka...Game being played in Toyko...

Dont have much of a clue here,anyone know anything like lineups,playing surface there in tokyo..other little tidbits?

[spartangreen]

Kashima Antlers have the best name. I can get some info, give me a few minutes and i can get a hold of a guy i know who plays that league alot.

Don't know anything about the Japanese league to be honest so I'll be staying away from this one.

I remember Adelaide United played against Gamba Osaka in the Asian CL a while ago and Gamba looked like quite a good team, passing the ball around very well. However, the Japanese teams are a class above the Aussie teams so maybe that's why they looked so good. Not sure how good Gamba is compared to the other Japanese teams.

Thanks spartan,1 week to go to the start of the J1 and J2 leagues! Love the late night stuff..

Looks like heavy action on kashima,they have the H2h advantage over the last few matches from what i saw..

[spartangreen]

ok, talked to him on live chat.

Kashima is the play here. They won the last three Japan League titles and are playing a strong line up.

They won on tuesday in the asian champions league and are playing pretty much their top lineup tonight.

Gamba is a decent side so it could be a good match, but Kashima has alot of motivation to for this as

Gamba knocked them out of the Emperors Cup. Sounds like the Japs take this cup serious.


I'll play along Kashima Antlers (pk,-.5) +108

Mitsuo Ogasawara is the guy to watch for kashima

nice,thanks for the info...Not that this means diddly,but the last 5 super cups have gone over 2.5..

I got to find me a pair of Antlers to put on now, better go grab another six pack, we still got two hours to the start.

Value is on G Osaka, some books still offering +260 which is not going to last long and its already taking a hit, their odds are going to carry on dropping.

i just ate some sushi for good luck

We played Gamba in the World Club Cup in '08...we played a full strength squad against them...we were up 5-1 winning 5-3 in the end but they played quite a spirited game.

btw...the J-League have the best kits out there!

I just finished watching Letters from Iwo Jima. I think I have a pretty good feel for these Japanese folks.
