JSoccer Magazine Issue 17 Going to Print!

Alan Gibson — Sat, 22 Aug 2015 01:59:45 +0000

JSoccer Magazine issue 17 is going to press next weekend… so much good stuff, interesting articles, and unusual things covered. You can all read about Gamba, Reds, Antlers, etc. every day (every hour) from various sources, so JSoccer Magazine never claims to be “up to date” or new (although the revealing of Usami’s transfer to Bayern Munich in Issue 1 was timed perfectly, after he’d told us weeks before knowing that the timing of his move announcement would coincide with release of magazine – hopefully not setting precedent!) … we have a Nadeshiko Women’s World Cup spread, an “early history” of Urawa Reds (and some great “ancient” pictures), a look at the final day of J1 in 2005 – more pictures, too. There’s a look at some young players who are eligible to play for Japan, but living overseas, the United Nations of S-Pulse (planned, need to finish that!), Taiwanese ladies playing in Japan, and MUCH more … details coming closer to release date but, as always, thank you for your support.

JSoccer Magazine Available on eBay, too!

Hello to New Readers, and Old … a Philosophy.

Alan Gibson — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 00:39:16 +0000

We don’t try to be first with anything (although, with the personal contacts we have “inside” Japanese Football, there is plenty we COULD be first with), we don’t try to be exclusive (although a lot of the articles you’ll see in JSoccer Magazine, and on this site actually are!).

We are just here to spread the word about Japanese Football in all its forms… and to allow you access to your JSoccer Magazine fix, too, of course!

The latest results are always up to date at our Results tab at the top of the page. The League tables there, also., but, now and again, we’ll post results in the stories here, too.

One thing we do like to do is round up some stories from other sources that we feel need to be given a wider audience. You will see, in particular, stories from the contributors to JSoccer Magazine – from their sites, or something they’ve done just for us here. The idea is to promote the stories and the sites/authors as much as possible, with all the credits so that you can see more of what they have written, and then follow them in the future, at their sites and on Twitter.

And if YOU have a story, article, or anything interesting about Japanese Football that you think deserves a spot here, send it over!! NOW! alan@jsoccer.com

Thank you always for your support of the site, and the magazine!
