Anyone seen this Japanese side play? I hope we're not up against a team of Mitomas!

I only saw the "highlights" of their game with Leon...and it wasn't a great standard.

There's a feature on the club website by a Japanese journalist who has said they've got the best defence in the J League but aren't particularly good in attack this season which has cost them.

They take it very seriously in South America, Real Madrid always play a strong team in it, as did Pep with Barca. Its a Major honour in my opinion, you need to be the best side in Europe to even play in it!

I think our owner takes it very seriously too. This will be a high priority. I think this trophy is behind some of Peps head scrathcing line ups recently. He's trying to get everyone fit and firing at the same time.
I'm hoping once this is over and we're back to the Prem that he reduces the rotation and starts picking his best available 11 on a more constant basis.
 
No sign of Big Erl though, on the training pitch I mean before someone posts pic of him on the plane, lol.

Everyone entitled to their views but I completely disagree. I was 8 when City last won the old first division and never thought I’d see another. When we beat the rags in the fac semi final, sjoke in the fac final and qpr to win the PL I could have been delirious if we’d never won another trophy. To have got another 6 premier leagues, 2 fa cups, fuck knows how many league cups, and then to be in Istanbul with my 2 teenage City-daft sons and see us win the champions league is just utterly unbelievable. To then have to postpone only one game to be in with a chance of being champions of the world is brilliant and I really hope we win it. We do all the domestic aways but can’t afford Saudi, but I’ll be going daft if we are champions of the world. I hate the fa, pl, uefa and fifa but i still want City to win as many of their trophies as possible. World Club Champions would be a huge honour for our Club. Bring it on

I dowloaded the FIFA app on the TV (I didn’t even know they had one) and can now watch on the big screen. As Mike Summerbee would say “simple as that” I wonder if the final will be free. Cross that bridge….
