After a week away Jonny and Ben are back as we begin to look forward to kickoff of the new J1 season. We start the episode with some World Cup chat, and reaction to the news that Hajime Moriyasu will stay on as Japan manager through the Asian Cup before departing (to 12:30), then we move on to discuss J1 managerial musical chairs, and the players who have left the J.League for pastures new ahead of the new campaign (to 36:35). We finish with thoughts on new kit hits and misses, and the league doing a better job of promoting themselves on the back of World Cup buzz.

Ep626 of J-Talk (recorded on 6/26!) features the dulcet tones and positive vibes of Alan Gibson, who joined Jonny and Ben to review Japan's draw with Sweden* (to 21:05) and look ahead to the Samurai Blue's cataclysmic meeting with Brazil this Tuesday morning Japan time.
Unfortunately, the * is above because we had significant issues with the audio file - as touched on in the intro before the episode begins - but once you reach the six minute mark its all smooth sailing from there.

Jonny and Ben review the J1 playoff 2nd legs on this episode, beginning with Kashima's home win that was merely window dressing as Kobe claimed the CEJLC title with a 5-2 aggregate win (to 35:50). Then we select our Best XI from the east across the league phase, and finish the pod with a brief look ahead to Japan's World Cup opener against the Netherlands.
#We are aware of a couple of audio issues during the episode, most notably around the 42:20 mark, where Jonny's selection of Alex Scholz for one of the centre back spots in our Best XI mysteriously disappeared from the audio file, the audio picks up with Ben agreeing with Jonny's selection.#
