Winner of 73 to play winner of 74 in quarter finals (Osaka Derby coming there? More likely S-PUlse will pull though, though?).

Winners of 75 and 76 meet, 77 and 78, 79 and 80…. those quarter finals will be held on December 23rd.

The semi-final takes place December 29th, with the final, as always, on New Year’s Day.

In the opinion of JSoccer Magazine, it is great to have some kind of drawing to decide the teams – adds excitement and unpredictability — the magic of the cup! Now just make it a draw right from the start
