The Fans Deserve Better

Why didn't Yoshiki and Kinchan start today?
They were late for training on their 'toban' day . So it seems they will be fined.
Their salary is not enough to live on and the families of the players
have to support them with money.And their pay will be cut even more?
This means in actual fact that I will have to pay the fine.
The people of Shikoku support the players and help them out in many ways.
I really do appreciate this.
I think the incentive to play better and win comes from all sides. Not just the fans ,parents and players.
It seems the league is ready to take money from the players with any chance they get.
I'd like to know how much they have actually made from the cards ,balls and T-Shirts that Yoshiki signs after the games.

ENGLAND 2-2 SWEDEN



England ended up top of group B with a draw against Sweden. The first goal by Joe Cole must be one of the best goals of the tournament but England's defence in the 2nd half was poor.Anyway,they will play Ecuador on Sunday.

ENGLAND V SWEDEN



Island League V Chunichi Dragons




At the moment Yoshiki is not on the list of members to play Dragons.
It is maybe because of his injury. There is still a chance he will be included.There is also a game against Orix(?)
coming soon.

Good come-back by Indigo socks


The two Yo'chans.


Indigo Socks scored 5 runs in the bottom of the ninth innings to tie the game starting with Yoshiki's hit. Good work by the team!

Yoshiki hurt his heel in training and did not play in yesterday's game.
I think he will be doubtful for today's game also.
The weather is getting worse recently. I hope it does not
affect any games in Shikoku.

ENGLAND 2- 0 TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO






Late goals by Peter Crouch and Steven Gerrard (both of Liverpool)put England in the final round of the World Cup. The introduction of Wayne Rooney seemed to put new life into the England team. Sweden next!
