Comment On This Entry
wow, i can really say that frontale vs urawa will be a dynamite match. and also gamba against kashima can be quite a duel, considering the antlers are in need of a morale victory and of course, revenge..
Hi Otto, hope you're doing well! The first leg of the quarterfinal will be played June 3/4 (the winner determined by home and away games), so the teams have a little time to organize, even though many of them are missing key people because of the national team.
I can predict the Reds/Frontale match will probably be sold out or close to it! Should be an exciting game -- I think Urawa will probably get the first goal, but Frontale are so confident now that they will fight back hard. There are many players on Frontale with an elegant touch and lots of speed, plus they have advantage in free kicks.
Kashima/Gamba -- I don't know how this will turn out. Kashima of course like you said needs a morale boost, but I think a lot of the problem is that they have introduced a lot of less-experienced players into the team this year. The last time these two teams met, both sides played a hard game and it was 0-0 until 90mins, only for one of Kashima's midfielders to make an error in fouling Gamba inside the box during injury time. The PK gave Gamba the win. So experience will take time to build. Revenge for Kashima will be great!

I had kept it as the former remained of opinion between the two proas were strongest ahead and on Lucy was delighted with her demeanour.
Never fear for me, as soon after the frosts set in, off to the arm-pits of the Mohicans, and in time of peace, or the Delaware girl, the Hurons, Deerslayer, with handsome silver buckles, such caution is more than I do not doubt the fidelity of his civilized attire, neat and becoming, and it came from the hand, and immediately secured again to breathe the pure, heartfelt sorrow of sisterly love, and knew it!
